Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

J_kotowicz I'm a zombie fan. I am a zombie movie fan. I am a zombie liturature fan. I am a zombie philospher. Home, at work, the science of the undead is always on my mind. Zombie Honeymoon, was thee most asinine, horrible, contrite...hodgepodge of b.s, ever, and that is my respectful opinion of it. Exactly, 20 minutes in I began watching it on 1.5 Speed. The newly weds ran on the beach, surfted on puny waves and had sex in inapproprate places. Then a seaweed cloaked zombie climbed up from the deep. Then..Vomited bile on the groom and...expired? Then the groom dies, choaking, perhaps. But really, he writhes for a second and like a candle in the wind, he is gone. To the hospital, he suddenly breaths again! Hallijulia! and feeling pretty good for being exceedinly, lifelessly, dead for 10 minutes, The Groom and Wife go home, la-de-da, wasn't that exciting? Sex. Then She...drives, and drives, and drives as a semi-polluted NJ creeps by to a store. Now, we watch on x10 speed. Then there is a cop, a returned surfboard, a missing man and "this is the strangest thing to happen." ever. In NJ. ...Slowly, painfully slow, the Groom rots and his enevitable zombie urge begins. And by the power of true love,he won't eat his wife. But everyone else, biting faces, arms, noses, wrists, necks, while he falls apart, breaks into sores and chokes on his words. SURELY, seeing your husband, the love of your life, waste away into an abomination is better than simply, ending the misery. Yes, that is how i like my love ones, committing atrocities so we can stay together. ...The movie ends. The bride escapes, laughing, crying, all at x130 speed. ...Showtime will endorse anything.

tsujigiri00 (No real "spoilers": the film's description pretty much says that he turns into a flesh-eating zombie) Possibly a decent film if scored according to budget. But, on it's own, it falls way short. The two lead actors provide solid performances. The male lead stumbles a few times, particularly when quickly swapping back-and-forth between cannibalistic zombie and horrified human; but I suspect poor editing shares the responsibility. The female lead provides a superior, consistent performance.The cinematographer is the real star of the show in the film. He captures some breathtaking sequences. My favorite is the sequence (1:09:00 to 1:10:50) of the lead actress nervously applying makeup while we hear her husband munching flesh down the hall, cut to a stunning, dim shot of her smoothing her dress while she sits on the edge of the bed, cut to her head in her hands, a long lit hallway behind, and her vertebrae arching beautifully. Absolutely sublime!Unfortunately, the story has been done many times before, the script is bad, the dialogue is horrible, and thus the movie is crap. I blame the director -- who is also the writer! The poor cinematographer might have turned this into a beautiful (largely speechless) short film. Instead the director crafted something not fit for late-night TV.An excellent example of the poor writing is how clumsily vegetarianism is shoehorned in -- out of the blue. And the theme is carried on poorly, such as with the shot of the television cook skinning an onion while the lead actress hears munching outside. Eliminate the awkward vegetarian element and that would suddenly become a much more chilling metaphor: piercing the delicate membrane of the onion's skin would evoke the fragility of our own skin. Instead, the onion shot recalls the horribly written vegetarian dinner scene and I assume is intended to remind us how much the flesh-eating zombie has changed from the person he once was. But he's become a flesh-eating zombie FFS. We don't need a standard of comparison. He could have previously eaten only rare steak three meals a day and becoming a flesh-eating zombie would still be just as glaring a loss of humanity. It's cliché student filmmaking: trying to squeeze in (cheesy and overused) philosophical layers with no regard for how it negatively affects the story.The movie itself is not, in my opinion, worth watching unless you are a film student looking to learn from its mistakes. I suggest, as a standard of comparison, the film Let Me In (remake of Let the Right One In) which addresses many of the same themes (enabling darkness out of love) with more depth, emotion, and chills.

jdollak I still don't know what sort of movie I just saw. There are an absurd number of positive reviews here, and they all praise the movie for being 'different' or for having some deep theme. There are a lot of other movies about couples fighting to stay together through a wide variety of adversity. This movie wants to do the same, but stumbles in several key areas. First, it's hard to care about the characters at all. The only exception to this is that the female lead draws, which makes her a little bit more of a character. The male lead surfs, and if you find that to be an endearing trait, more power to you. Second, the script is bizarre. The tone of scenes shifts unexpectedly, and the direction is very strange. There's a long scene where a cop comes to visit. After ringing the doorbell, he is invited in, straightens a picture, then sits down at the kitchen counter. He discusses grapefruit juice with the female lead. Only then does he finally reveal why he's stopped by. Aside from the lack of realism in this scene, (such as, regardless of genre, it's appropriate to have a cop act like a cop) the scene goes on about 4 or 5 times longer than it should. I understood the reason for the scene, but it would have been much more effective as a short scene, involving a cop who acted like one, and without the irrelevant chatter about juice.Other directorial choices are puzzling. Near the end, the quality of the film changes to what looks like a shot-on-video day-for-night approach. I noticed a specific shot where the characters were all swept to the lower corner of the shot, and remained that way.That said, there are some nice looking shots. I don't know if I could specify many of them, but they are there.On a larger level, zombie films are about the larger event. Similar to Cloverfield, they're about a meta-event, with the film focusing on a smaller group's reaction to the event. In this case, there is no outside event.I had been looking forward to seeing this movie ever since I read about it in the Asbury Park Press. I really did want to like it.

EvilMuppet1979 This is the worst film I've ever seen in my life. After seeing the fantastic Shaun of the Dead I thought it would be more of the same, but this is just pathetic. Its not funny, its badly acted, and the score is terrible. I felt dirty after watching it, and I hope nobody I know saw me going into the movie theatre.If you want to see a true "romzomcom" watch Shaun of the Dead, its far superior. The humour is brilliant, though it may be too deep for American viewers. Much like the UK version of The Office, most of the jokes are quite subtle, not "in your face". Shaun of the Dead also contains many cool references to other movies and TV shows, which are great fun to look out for and test your knowledge. Many comments or actions in the movie foreshadow events at the end of the movie, and spotting these is good fun too.
