What's better than a romantic honeymoon by the sea? Nothing at all, unless you find yourself almost widowed and involved in an epochal disaster.
Zombie Honeymoon is written and directed by David Gebroe, who signs an independent horror halfway between black and sentimental comedy.
The subject is rather basic, a young newly married couple, a beautiful house in which to inaugurate a splendid life together, and a dream to come true: moving to Portugal. And it is precisely in that house that a grotesque drama will take place, as destructive as a seditious flame.

Tracy Coogan and Graham Sibley work very well, and are definitely convincing in the role of a sweet couple in love, especially her, thoughtful, devoted, great performance, noteworthy. The plot soon introduces a tragically near tragedy, which seems to be resolved decently. However, fate is lurking, and is ready to provide an unexpected twist.

Denise and Danny are intent on enjoying their holiday, immersed in a languid routine. They are on the beach when, suddenly, a strange man emerges from the water and attacks poor Danny. His heart stops for ten minutes, all attempts by the doctors to resuscitate him are useless. Denise is desperate for the loss of her husband, until, before everyone's terrified eyes, he revives. It would seem like a terrible story with a happy ending, but in reality, it is the beginning of a nightmare.

That kind and vegetarian boy slowly begins to change, and to demonstrate an enormous appetite towards of human flesh, a continuously growing desire, impossible to satisfy. His beloved wife cannot detach herself from him, and this is where an incredible feeling comes into action that cannot help but arouse considerable dismay. Who wouldn't run away from such horror? Only those who would rather tear out their hearts than give up their love. And so Denise finds herself looking after her husband, for better or for worse, until death do you part, instead of running away like hell. Her attempts to save him from that compulsive cannibalism turn out to be in vain, complete with loose skin falling into the soup, because oh yes, as if that wasn't enough, even Danny's physical appearance changes dramatically at a certain point.

In essence, despite the title, which would suggest all-out carnage, we are faced with a film that focuses more on emotional involvement, while maintaining a fair amount of blood, and gruesome splatter moments . If you want a tender, passionate, but decidedly out of the ordinary story, this film is for you. You don't live on chaos alone, and despite the gore present in several scenes, it's touching to see how sometimes good can triumph. What can I say, a girl can dream, sometimes...
