Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

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!

If you like intentionally bad movies, this might be your cup of tea.I have a bit of a weakness for inspired camp, especially movies that can walk that fine line between plausible and over the top -- It's a difficult tension to manage, but 'Dark Honeymoon' manages it.Lindy Booth is the real star of this one. Since her debut on the unfortunately short-lived sow,'Oyssey 5', she's made a specialty of playing crazy girlfriends -- sweet on the outside, but a bunch of broken marbles, once you get her home. 'O5','Wrong Turn', 'Cry_Wolf' and here, she plays the batsh#tinsane girlfriend and does a marvelous job with it.What is impressive here is the support that writer-director David O'Malley got here -- Eric Roberts, Darryl Hannah, Tia Carrere and Roy Scheider -- strong almost A-list players, all -- each playing supporting roles in what would otherwise be a cheesy teen-age slasher flick. But the demographic of this flick is just a bit twisted, as the protagonists here, Kathryn and Paul are int their mid- to late-20's, already just a bit out of scope for the usual mall crowd.The other oddity here is the emphasis, if not effort that was put into the music -- though the film has a cheap, raw look to it (think DePalma's 'Sisters') it has a world-class soundtrack that rivals anything executed by Bernard Hermann. The music definitely kicks this movie up 3 notches above whatever dreck it would have been without the efforts of Juan Colomer and his big string section.If you like Lindy and you're a fan of early, Hitchcock-inspired DePalma, this is one that you probably want to investigate, if only for a fun ride.

Awful. This thriller should have buried. What a piece of crap. Terrible writing, characters are less than believable. Horrible Schlock!! Stick some B- stars in a terribly written POS to try and give it a little credit, but it fails miserably. If I didn't have to write ten lines about this movie I would have given it a word word review, it starts with 'sh' and ends with 'it'.Horrible ending, retarded. Who writes this crap. The ending of this film is so contrived, weak it's as if they had no idea what to do with this story line, or they just ran out of money. Most likely due to the number of cameos in this movie. It's a good thing that these actors are on the way out, because this would be a career killer. Good thing for them that hardly anyone will see it. At least no one important, like future investors. It could have ended a thousand different ways, but as it is, I feel cheated out of my precious time.Don't bother with this one, you will feel like you wasted time you can never get back.

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.
