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.

Leslie and Treadaway extract plenty of existential doubt and distressing emotion from what is essentially a claustrophobic two-hander.

The gory final act can't help but be an explanatory letdown after so much enigmatic fizz, but that's little bother when the rest of Honeymoon delivers a steady dose of newlywed nightmare.

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Fresh

A lean, low-budget debut that taps into newlywed anxiety with subtle wit and no small amount of style.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Fresh

Achieves emotional resonance due to how effectively it joins its source of horror with the stuff of everyday human anxieties.

Zachary Wigon, Village Voice
