Review by: alexmoulton (Alex)
Dated: 26th of May, 2015
Searching through online social networks I noticed a user had written up a list of the top recent Horror films of 2014/15. In that list I saw "Honeymoon". In all honestly, if I hadn't seen that post with the description of the movie, I would have completely missed this film. The title gives no clues, and the DVD art is just as helpful at telling you what the film is about.
The film itself I found had a similar plot to another movie that I had watched recently "The Device". Both take place near a cabin in a remote location, and both films have a very limited cast, and initially focus on emotional events rather than straight action. This film however has the advantage of starring Rose Leslie (a.k.a. Ygritte from "Game of Thrones"),
The opening scenes use a wedding video as a means to explaining the back-story of the characters; knowledge that becomes very important to the plot further in. It is weird to watch a movie that is a horror film, but has no weapons, no known villains. It deals only in suspense and mystery. It took me a while to realise that the entire film used only 4 actors/actresses. As not even the bad guys are visible, it gives the film a realistic tone to it. You aren't concerned with poor effects. and when effects are used, they are used sparingly, which is great. Plot is more important than effects.
Overall the film was slow, but I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I spent most of my time comparing this film with "The Device", but I was pleased at the differences. I would consider this film to be the superior of the two.
Random listing from 'Movies'...
Men in Black follows the exploits of agents Kay and Jay, members of a top-secret organization established to monitor and police alien activity on Earth. The two Men in Black find themselves in the middle of the deadly plot by an intergalactic terrorist who has arrived on Earth to steal a valuable artefact, and trigger a military response against the Earth. In order to prevent Earth's destruction, the MiB must track down the terrorist first, recover the artefact and return it within 24 hours.
It's just another typical day for the Men in Black.
