SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

I loved it. I loved the whole idea of the film, it makes you think twice about getting married, whether you know them a long time or not. Dark Honeymoon has lots of tension that brings a blatant feeling of menace and suspense, which keeps you on the edge of your seat. The flashback sequences are particularly well done and effective and in no way effect the overall tension of the film, which is expertly handled throughout the film by both the cast and director. The fun thing is that after the twist at the end of the film, it makes you think that you have missed something and it makes you want to watch it again. Which is just as exciting as the first time you watched it!

Dark Honeymoon's cast, alone, is impressive. I was very impressed with Lindy Booth and Nick Cornish. I believe this was Roy Scheider's last film and he always delivers. The characters were believable and fascinating. The film itself invites the audience to take part in the confusion, to attempt to discern illusion from reality as if you are looking at a Rorschach test. The film is boldly manipulative, demanding the audience's complete involvement and undivided attention. This is definitely a movie where you have to pay attention the whole time and catch every scene. Believe me it's worth it. If you are a movie fan who likes surprises, I recommend Dark Honeymoon.

My friend had rented Dark Honeymoon & said I will love, he was right. Imagine 1 AM - can't sleep, total darkness outside and only the sound of police sirens in the distance. What joy to get lost in a film that delivers! The cast is top rate; Roy Schieder, Daryl Hannah, Eric Roberts, Lindy Booth - how can you go wrong with this cast, the story was great. Why isn't this in theaters? I would pay to see this and so would my friends. It felt like I was watching a modern version of film noir and Psycho! I was waiting for Norman Bates to appear! WOW! Love, Marriage, Murder! The bodies are piling up. Each death puts you more and more on the edge of your seat! What a ride!

It appears some people don't really get to know who they are marrying until they begin their honeymoon. That is, if by chance, or design, they didn't get to be more "intimate" before the wedding. This seems to be the case with the young couple at the center of the story. Paul, the young groom, didn't have a clue as to his bride Kathryn's personality, or even her strong feelings about religion. She had a few issues that prove to be incompatible with her new married status.Their honeymoon at the "Bates-like" motel in Oregon, turns out to be something Paul didn't bargain for. What starts out as a pleasant trip turns out to be a nightmare. He begins realizing Kathryn is not all he thought she was, but either, he is too naive not to notice, or he has been living in a dream world. Suffice it to say that Kathryn is not quite the woman Paul had in mind when he married her.Evidently, "Dark Honeymoon" has gone to video before its release. We had no information on this film when it was shown on a cable channel when we were overseas. It appears it was not even released in the US yet, as there are no comments submitted to this site.One thing though, David O'Malley is not afraid to show a lot of blood to his viewers. The most fun was to watch Lindy Booth getting rid of the people not worth to be on this earth, and seeing more experienced actors like the late Roy Scheider, Darryl Hannah, Tia Carrere, and Eric Roberts in bit roles to help the director, no doubt. On the other hand, we didn't care for Nick Cornish as the husband.
