Review: In the opening moments, an adulterous wife is caught red-handed by her suspicious husband, who the woman promptly smacks over the head with a wine bottle and accidentally burns to death....
Or so we think. Actually, it's not to hard to figure out that her old hubby is the killer at hand in this by-the-numbers stalk n' slash festival. The action takes place on a remote island getaway for honeymooners (run by the woman from the opening scene and her new beau). Three newlywed couples come to the island for the weekend, and after a while (a really long while, in which everything but the killing happens!), the burned husband stars offing everyone and everything in sight.
I was really unimpressed by most of what I saw in Honeymoon Horror. The deaths are boring, the camera work is shoddy at best, and there's relatively few funny lines or cheesey scenes. I suppose it's not terrible, and it follows the rules, but there's just not much here to work with.
This is the kind of movie that if you find it at one of those video stores that only charge 50 cents to rent an oldie, it's not really a bad idea to pick this one up if you're bored one night. Just don't pay full price for it.
