What I saw here was a bit of cinematic satire on the who done themes. The movie was NOT written or directed to be taken so seriously. It was a fun watch for me and it wasn't until about a third of the way through, I lightened up and saw this film through the glass of the directors.Its met to get fun, not taken seriously as Jack the Ripper. So, I will give this DVD another watch and at least a six. Just sit back, put your feet up and watch it. From the very beginning you can see, this film is tongue in cheek.This could be seen as a little dig upon the the phony message, once wed always stay true or the buggy man will come for you.

I loved it. I loved the whole idea of the film, it makes you think twice about getting married, whether you know them a long time or not. Dark Honeymoon has lots of tension that brings a blatant feeling of menace and suspense, which keeps you on the edge of your seat. The flashback sequences are particularly well done and effective and in no way effect the overall tension of the film, which is expertly handled throughout the film by both the cast and director. The fun thing is that after the twist at the end of the film, it makes you think that you have missed something and it makes you want to watch it again. Which is just as exciting as the first time you watched it!

Dark Honeymoon's cast, alone, is impressive. I was very impressed with Lindy Booth and Nick Cornish. I believe this was Roy Scheider's last film and he always delivers. The characters were believable and fascinating. The film itself invites the audience to take part in the confusion, to attempt to discern illusion from reality as if you are looking at a Rorschach test. The film is boldly manipulative, demanding the audience's complete involvement and undivided attention. This is definitely a movie where you have to pay attention the whole time and catch every scene. Believe me it's worth it. If you are a movie fan who likes surprises, I recommend Dark Honeymoon.

This film really took me by surprise. I caught this in a hotel room while vacationing with my brother and his awful girlfriend (needless to say, the vacation was a total bust and this movie was the highlight - I should re title this review "Better Than a Week in Cancun!).Considering the cast and the unnerving suspense, I'm flabbergasted as to why this movie didn't reach a wider audience. I won't divulge any of the plot information, but I will say that there's a final act reveal that you will NOT see coming. My jaw hit the floor, and it's still there, actually (I think my jaw is broken - it's weird).The acting is uniformly excellent all around. The writing was twisty and unexpected, and none of it felt scripted. The movie just moved...and it was pretty damn good. I highly recommend this one.
