Delayed Reaction: Honeymoon

The Pitch: Newlyweds on their honeymoon get torn apart by strange and ominous events.

Rose Leslie and Harry Treadaway are solid leads (shaky American accents aside). I can see how Leslie's work on Game of Thrones led to her being cast for this since it requires her to shift a lot between being tender and feral. It reminded me a lot of Under the Skin except from a different point of view (Treadaway's - i.e. the victim's). The ending is nice and dark and no more is explained than necessary. That's something I always appreciate. Too many horror movie feel the need to explain things which only mutes the scares. I like my horror movies lean.

Verdict (?): Weakly Recommend
