[To get you into the spooky spirit, the Daily Dead team is spotlighting double features that we think would be fun to watch this Halloween season. Keep an eye on Daily Dead for more double feature recommendations, and check here for our previous Halloween 2017 coverage.]
The two films in this Halloween season double feature recommendation seem like an unlikely pairing, but definitely have more in common than meets the eye. Despite little differences here and there, both films are small, loud, shocking, and out of this world. I also really enjoy films whose plots slowly unravel, and we learn what is going on as the truth is revealed to the characters. For me, that kind of pacing keeps you guessing from start to finish, and Honeymoon (2014) and 10 Cloverfield Lane have all of these elements in spades.
To set the mood for what will be roughly four hours of an extraterrestrial-beings-take-over-our-world marathon, I recommend that you start things off with Honeymoon, directed by Leigh Janiak and starring Harry Treadaway (Mr. Mercedes, Penny Dreadful), Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones), Ben Huber, and Hanna Brown. It tells the story of newlyweds Paul (Treadaway) and Bea (Leslie), who are...

★★☆☆☆ First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes your wife's possession by something rather insidious during your honeymoon at a secluded cabin in the woods. Romantic, right? Honeymoon (2014) is a lo-fi horror flick that builds on its familiar narrative setting, opting for simmering mystery and big jolts instead of slowly building tension. Newlyweds Bea (Rose Leslie) and Paul (Harry Treadaway) make the long journey from Brooklyn to the Canadian wilderness to spend their honeymoon at Bea's family cabin. After a few days of fishing, cooking and marital consummation, a disconcerting reunion with Will (Ben Huber), an old friend of Bea's, leads to her disturbing night-time disappearance.

*full disclosure: a DVD screener of this film was provided by Magnolia Home Entertainment. **there are spoilers here. Director: Leigh Janiak. Writers: Phil Graziadei and Leigh Janiak. Cast: Rose Leslie, Harry Treadaway and Ben Huber. Honeymoon is a small indie horror film from first time director Leigh Janiak and scriptwriter Phil Graziadei. Together, these two filmmakers have created a mysterious thriller, set in a lakeside cabin. Who is Bea (Rose Leslie)? This is a question that is central to the film. The answer must be found by the viewer, initially as the film effectively delivers a tale of suspense. Minimizing the horror elements, Honeymoon is a well acted and a character focused title, that delivers believable interaction and conflicts. Bea and Paul (Harry Treadaway) are recently married. They make silly marriage videos and they are overly affectionate with each other. Soon, they reach their honeymoon location and it is here...

Stars: Rose Leslie, Harry Treadaway, Ben Huber, Hanna Brown | Written by Leigh Jeniak, Phil Graziadei | Directed by Leigh Jeniak
Honeymoon follows a newlywed couple Bea (Rose Leslie) and Paul (Harry Treadaway) honeymooning in an old cabin in isolated Canada. Their initial romance soon begins to fade as strange occurrences begin and Bea starts acting mysteriously towards Paul.
Jeniak’s narrative is packed with intrigue and unease: we see the initial loved up couple romantically enjoying their honeymoon, yet gradually grow to almost resent each other as the film progresses. This change is marked by one strange event in a sequence which sees the alarm clocks go off in the middle of the night and Bea to go missing – only to be found in the woods, wearing a torn nightgown and with strange marks on her leg. From this moment on events grow stranger and Jeniak builds on the tense and...

It’s the beginning of the rest of their lives together… but for vacationing newlyweds Paul and Bea, that treasured time might be cut short. Something is in the woods surrounding their secluded cabin that will test the young couple’s new marriage like few crises can, and Arrow Films is releasing the horrors of Honeymoon on home media in the UK this winter.
Honeymoon will come out on Blu-ray and DVD in the UK on January 19th, 2015. No special features are known at this time, but we’ll keep Daily Dead readers posted on further announcements. You can read our own Jonathan James’ review of Honeymoon in the first issue of Deadly – Horror & Sci-Fi Magazine.
“Young newlyweds Paul (Treadaway) and Bea (Rose Leslie) travel to remote lake country for their honeymoon where the promise of private romance awaits them. Shortly after arriving, Paul finds Bea wandering and disoriented in the middle of the night.

The upcoming weekend boasts an onslaught of new Specialty titles vying for audiences. In all likelihood, however, many will have a short big screen life as the fall’s awards contenders ramp up and crowd others out. Five of this week’s dozen-plus newcomers are spotlighted here with Fox Searchlight’s The Drop edging on a wide release. The feature starring Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace and James Gandolfini will bow in over 800 theaters. TWC’s The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby also joins the fray with a platform release. The film also has two accompanying titles told from the perspective of its two main characters, which will be released in more limited runs in October. Magnolia will open its thriller Honeymoon in a day and date release while Dada Films’ Swearnet: The Movie breaks a movie record with the most F-bombs ever. And Cohen Media Group’s My Old Lady bowed Wednesday in limited release.

Period of Adjustment: Janiak’s Eerie Relationship Chiller a Provocative Debut
Weirdly unsettling, Leigh Janiak’s directorial debut, Honeymoon, is one of those rarely effective offbeat psychological thrillers, utilizing a simple premise and indie framework for maximum potential, the kind of film whose bizarre pleasure are few and far between. Those seeking the kind of material that dares to go to strange extremes should take note. Surprisingly effective given that it begins like any number of indie films concerning two people that should have gotten to know each other better before plunging into marriage, Janiak’s film moves swiftly from allegory to all-out bizarreathon.
Recently married newlyweds Paul (Harry Treadaway) and Bea (Rose Leslie) have chosen to abscond to Bea’s family cabin, a perfect, isolated setting in the off season. It seems this was a rather hurried affair, both of them still leery about being honest about little things here and there,...

Updated 7/23: Trailer now embedded below. Set to make its Canadian debut at Fantasia in Montreal tonight (July 22), Honeymoon is "very much its own beast," according to our own Ryland Aldrich. It's "a good story, excellently told, and very, very scary." That story follows a newly-married couple who decide to spend their honeymoon at a family lake house in a remote, isolated location. Things happen to disrupt what should be a lazy, blissful week, and then more things happen, and then things get horrifying. Leigh Janiak directed; Rose Leslie, Harry Treadaway, Ben Huber, and Hanna Brown star. A new poster is suitably mysterious, while suggesting the horror that lies within. It's heading to theaters and various Video On Demand platforms on September 12. A new trailer has...

Review by Andrew McArthur
I approached my final horror of this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival with some trepidation as it has been a very mixed year for the genre. The Green Inferno was an outstanding update of the cannibal film, whilst Let Us Prey and Scintillahave been drab generic British horrors. Fortunately, Leigh Jeniak’s relatively impressive Honeymoon leans more towards the former of these films.
Honeymoon follows a newlywed couple Bea (Rose Leslie) and Paul (Harry Treadaway) honeymooning in an old cabin in isolated Canada. Their initial romance soon begins to fade as strange occurrences begin and Bea starts acting mysteriously towards Paul.
