I wish the film withheld more information from its audience to raise the overall tension but it’s a solid genre pic, made so primarily by two entirely committed performances from its talented leads. - 70
Village Voice
While its ending descends into standard horror tropes that fail to completely satisfy its promise, the film nevertheless achieves emotional resonance due to how effectively it joins its source of horror with the stuff of everyday human anxieties. - 70
The Dissolve
Janiak handles both horror and drama ably enough to suggest that she’d excel at either genre. She hasn’t yet mastered the combination, but it’s only her first try. Give her time. - 70
The New York Times
A lean, low-budget debut that taps into newlywed anxiety with subtle wit and no small amount of style. - 70
Los Angeles Times
The gory final act can't help but be an explanatory letdown after so much enigmatic fizz, but that's little bother when the rest of "Honeymoon" delivers a steady dose of newlywed nightmare. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Honeymoon is a microbudgeted horror movie that achieves some genuinely shivery moments. - 63
Slant Magazine
It waffles between dramatizing youthful self-absorption and succumbing to it, and this tonal instability comes to effectively mirror the domestic discord that's revealed to be its real subject. - 60
Empire
A tense, two-piece horror with serious kick.
