Movie Reviews of Zombie Honeymoon
Movie Review: Zombeo-and-Juliet, with heart
Summary: 5 Stars
Fans of zombie cinema are no strangers to wading through loads of dreck to find the gems. Rest assured, Zombie Honeymoon is one of those gems. Unlike far too many horror movies out there, this independent work of art by Dave Gebroe delivers high levels of blood & gore _without_ sacrificing creepiness, infuses its characters with coolness and humor _without_ sacrificing character depth, and is emotionally charged _without_ sacrificing style.
The concept, at its core, is a tragic love story. There are a number of jokes -- good jokes, pitch-black and subtle -- and they are often delivered nonintrusively when the tension is highest. But even more important is the romantic element, which, in Gebroe's capable hands, provides a bizarrely appropriate structure for a story full of some very palpable horror. Gorehounds and horror enthusiasts will certainly be delighted, but I expect non-horror fans to enjoy this film, as well.
The story follows newlyweds Denise and Danny -- portrayed excellently by Tracy Coogan and Graham Sibley -- on their honeymoon, which is interrupted when Danny is attacked by a mysterious zombie-like fellow. After Danny dies and inexplicably revives, he starts to feel new cravings... for human flesh. As Denise finds out, planning for the future, handling the tasks of the moment, and maintaining ties to the past all become much trickier when one is married to an anthropophagous ghoul.
Many viewers will be able to connect with Zombie Honeymoon at different levels. The main characters are likeable and realistically portrayed, so their trials seem that much more sympathetic. People who have suffered the loss of a loved one may be able to relate to Denise's situation and empathize with her distress, and people who have had to deal with addiction or disease in themselves or those close to them may notice multiple parallels.
I'm not kidding. It's a blood-spattered zombie movie, and it's probably the most _moving_ blood-spattered zombie movie you'll see for some time.
I caught Zombie Honeymoon during one of its limited theatrical runs, and I'm already looking forward to seeing it again. This DVD will definitely be worth owning. A solid assortment of special features has been announced, including two commentaries (one with the writer / director / producer himself, and another with the lead actors), two behind-the-scenes documentaries, and others. Definitely pick this one up when it comes out (appropriately enough) on Valentine's Day.
