tonight's feature: Honeymoon (2014) on Hulu
Honeymoon is a competent and suspenseful little horror tale set in the modern age, despite the ending leaving you wondering if they forgot to finish the story. Although I did feel like a dirty old man watching this young, newly married couple getting it on repeatedly in the setup (I mean, they are on their honeymoon after all), things quickly go south between the couple and all the romance is blown out the window when shit gets weird.
Bea (played by Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie) and Paul head to the family's rustic cabin to finally celebrate their big day, but after a short while Bea disappears one night and Paul finds her naked and confused in the woods. At first chalking it up to sleepwalking, Paul suspects worse as her behavior changes completely. He assumes she's had some sort of affair, but the truth is much more terrifying.
Everything worked for me with the story, pacing and uneasiness, but I still am not sure what the hell happens at the end. Aliens? Demons? Witches? Nazgul? Ghosts? Nobody will ever know, I guess, which takes an 8 bright lights in the woods out of 10 down to 6 weird worm looking creatures pulled out of her hoo-ha out of 10.
