Review of Zombie Honeymoon
- Zombie Honeymoon is a romantic horror film about a young married couple madly in love on their honeymoon. One day on the beach the groom Danny is attacked and killed by a man who rises up out of the water with no explanation leaps on top of him and vomits blood into his mouth. Danny is resuscitated ten minutes later and seems to look and act totally normal. However his wife Denise finds out that that's not the case at all. It turns out that Danny has become a zombie. However instead of becoming a "Night Of The Living Dead"-style creature right off the bat he disintegrates gradually in a manner akin to cancer or AIDS. He and his wife Denise do their best to cope with his slipping away not to mention the fact that he can't stop killing and eating people. As their best friends arrive for a weekend visit she makes him promise her that they're off-limits. He agrees but finds it more and more difficult to control himself. She hangs in there because he's the love of her life but it becomes more and more apparent that her life is in jeopardy as well.System Requirements:Running Time 83 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR UPC: 758445401820 Manufacturer No: SHO4018D

A romantic comedy...with some gore
Okay, I gave Hollywood a taste during the previous week. But once the weekend hit, I had to sink my teeth into some obscure, low budget horror. There were some really good bites, like Joshua (thanks CLock) and then a few that left me hungry, like Zombie Night, Zombie Nation, and RoLD Necropolis. But, without a doubt, Zombie Honeymoon outchomps them all. This is a bloody good time.
Two charismatic newlyweds plan on consummating their marriage at a romantic lake house. Everything's going great for these two until hubby gets attacked on the beach by some hideous creature. Even though he survives this little setback, he soon develops an insatiable blood lust. Yep, zombified. Ah well, everybody has there bad points.
This turn of events puts a damper on the marriage, but his wife (the sexy Tracy Coogan) tries to be understanding. Her love gets tested as her spouse soon chows down on several of their friends and neighbors. Yum!
Zombie Honeymoon has an excellent script with some nice acting. There's humor, gore, plus a little nudity thrown in for good measure. It explores the boundaries of love and the sanctity of marriage, all in bloody fashion. Very underrated, 4.5 stars.
Score: 5

Is this forever and ever? I'm in love! Woo! I'm in love! Woo!
Brief: A horror comedy about two young and very happily married lovers who find their devotion suddenly challenged when, on the first day of their beach honeymoon, the new husband is attacked by a violently sick man and awakes at the hospital with a hunger for more than his bride's flesh. Does their "'til death to us part" pledge include the deaths of local residents?
Longer: There were a group of seven of us over at my place for a movie night. We decided to rent "Alexander" with Angelina Jolie et al, but because the neighborhood video store delivers with a minimum of two, my friends asked for "Zombie Honeymoon" on a silly whim. None of us had heard of it. Well, we watched about 30-40 minutes of Alexander before we declared it absolutely unwatchable and turned to Zombie instead. We were all VERY surprised to find it well-scripted, well-acted, well-paced and with a very good balance between the horror and comedy elements.
A couple of us are die-hard horror film fans, so the expectations were for gaping plot lines and bad character decisions (e.g. "John, what are you doing outside in the dark behind the tree with that knife? Come on in before you catch a cold!") But none of that in Zombie! As a result, I can heartily recommend it. Package it with Fido (starring Carrie-Ann Moss and Bill Connolly) and you'll have a great night.
Score: 4

A review from Zombiefans!
A zombie movie for the Lifetime channel!
1) ACTING: The acting was very good. Normally, in a low budget indie, we get all types of quality regarding acting; poor, okay, pretty good, great or excellent. The acting here had to be of good caliber, as this is not your typical zombie flick, where everyone is running around screaming and being killed off left and right. The high levels of emotion in this movie required individuals that could actually act. The actors here CAN act, and it shows. The acting was a big part of this movie, and had there been actors who could not have pulled this off, the movie would have failed.
2) PRODUCTION: For a low budget indie with no studio backing, this one was done right! The soundtrack, lighting, make up, film quality, it's all way above par with what the viewer is used to getting from indie flicks. As I mentioned above, due to the level of acting that was needed in this movie, the same level of production values was necessary as well. The movie would not have been as good as it was if the viewer was forced to make due with sub-standard effects and production values. There was an issue of continuity that was pointed out to me (Thanks HDS!) where Danny is in the ER of the hospital and dies and the heart rate machine goes off with a flatline, but Danny isn't hooked up to the machine. Oops!
3) THE ZOMBIES: Well, yes, it is plural, as there are two. The zombie that infects the husband, and eventually, the husband. Zombie lore is changed here a bit. When the husband is attacked by the zombie, the zombie vomits a black, tar-like bile into the husband's mouth and then dies. Subsequently, the husband is now "infected with zombie." The husband dies, returns to "life," and begins his descent into zombie-dom. He acts and thinks like a normal human, just with zombie tendencies growing stronger every day. A bite from this type of zombie does not create another zombie, those individuals just die and get eaten. Passing the black tar-like substance to other people is the only way to become a zombie. It is not established if a zombie who does this, can do it repeatedly, creating many more zombies, or if it's just a one-to-one transfer.
4) THE CAUSE: The cause is never mentioned, but as mentioned before, the black substance that is transferred between zombie and victim, is how the next person turns.
5) NUDITY: Minimal boobage in a very cold room.
This was not your typical everyday zombie movie. I wonder if that is the reason for some of the negative reviews. People who went to see this may have been expecting Dawn of the Dead goes to the beach, and found out differently. This is a quality movie with many emotions that the viewer is forced to go through. Life, death, life after death. This would best be described as a "chick flick with zombies."
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Score: 3

Really enjoyable and "realistic" film
This little gem tries to answer the question of "should you stay together till death do you part even if your husband has turned into a zombie!"
What I really appreciated about this was that they didn't let the film become a parody but rather stuck with the realism (as much as possible in a zombie film" and this allowed the story to really develop and to be quite touching I thought.
Great performances by the leads and might I say the woman in it is hot.
Great gore scenes but the story is the reason to watch here.
Loved it.

Keep Away From This!!!
This movie was horrible flat-out. And I watch alot of low budget horror and zombie movies. I own movies like premutos, evil, darkness: the vampire version and have seen many other zombie flicks that critics and others say are horrible. But this movie I can tell you was garbage and theres nothin good about it at all
Score: 1
