What to Know

Critics Consensus

Smart, stylish, and nail-bitingly tense, Honeymoon packs more slow-building horror than many bigger-budget productions.

Perri Nemiroff Screen Rant Jan 5, 2015
Janiak does find a great deal of success turning that dreamy romance on its head, plunging her leads into a nightmarish scenario and ensuring you'll never forget what happened to them. Go to Full Review
A.A. Dowd AV Club Jan 5, 2015
For those who have ever nursed suspicions that the answer is "not enough," Honeymoon will inspire chills much more bone-deep than the ones provoked by, say, some poltergeist flinging around chairs. Go to Full Review
Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Sep 28, 2014
3/5
Janiak's directorial debut makes confident use of limited resources to conjure creepy thrills, peering through the cracks in the couple's imploding relationship, spying shadowy monsters lurking in the darkness. Go to Full Review
Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Sep 20, 2023
3/5
Horror films focusing on alien intruders can often only be so effective, and while Honeymoon isn't a complete success, the lead performances and Leigh Janiak's direction manage to elevate a story that would be otherwise dismissed. Go to Full Review
Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It Jan 2, 2021
Honeymoon is a twisted, unpredictable horror thriller that will leave you shocked in the end. Go to Full Review
Kristy Strouse In Their Own League Feb 6, 2020
Leigh Janiak creates a film that's quite visually disturbing at times, ensuring you'll squirm by the end, but it is also heavy with despair and desperation. Go to Full Review

Elton L @Whatever007 Sep 20, 2026 Great acting but so boring. Nothing happens, nothing is finished, and it’s nothing that hasn’t been done before. It’s just fine (other than the acting). And kudos to the makeup department, hauntingly beautiful work. See more B P @Bradster69 Sep 12, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Simon W @simonwillo Sep 9, 2026 I am genuinely surprised this film has such a high critic score. It is not a good film and I basically enjoy 95% of the films I watch. The two main actors knock it out the park. They are absolutely brilliant. But the script makes no sense - large sections are completely arbitrary, characters are arbitrary, the lore/rules/whatever you call it don’t add up, and it’s one of these films that just ends as if they ran out of money. If you want to watch two very talented actors try to put lipstick on a pig, it’s worth it. The film is well made - like the cinematography and whatnot (why I gave it two stars instead of one). But the script ruins the whole thing. See more Lovell T @Lovell Aug 3, 2026 Creepy and progressively gory. An effective psychological and body horror gem with the metaphor of an eventual collapse of a supposedly ideal marriage. See more Scout T @RT43547218 Jul 24, 2026 I wish I could put 0 stars here. Honestly, I was invested at first. The idea seemed captivating, a newlywed perfect couple that is the textbook definition of happy going to their old cottage for their honeymoon, and things progressively getting worse. However. This is probably the worst writing I've ever seen, there was much potential in this, a suspenseful buildup to the big plot twist, just for the ending to prove how big of a disappointment this movie is. Paul is supposed to be a terrible partner underneath his "perfect mask" i guess. But if you put yourself in your shoes you start to realize that he's the best partner you could have in this situation. No words can express how shallow this movie is, I honestly feel like my review for this half-baked waste of time is more well written than the movie itself. Don't watch it. You'll regret even bothering to. See more Nikki S. @nikkisixsixsixxx Feb 28, 2026 Fun, underrated and misunderstood sci-fi horror movie with a spooky set up that leads to a reveal that’s good enough for me but might not be enough for some. Not actually knowing what you think you know best is scary! See more Read all reviews
