DARK HONEYMOON 2008 (TUBI)

Now this film was a great piece of work!

I have read tons of bad reviews about this movie, but damn I enjoyed it on many levels. The movie opens with a man in police custody named Paul (Nick Cornish). He is being questioned by the cops about a body found in the trunk of his car.

Paul claims that his psychotic wife hid the body there and she has since disappeared. The police call in an FBI agent to further questuion Paul, and then we are taken by flashback to the entire morbid tale.

Paul fell in love and quickly married a beautiful young woman named Kathryn (lindy Booth) and they headed for a honeymoon in a small town on the Oregon coast. Paul doesn't know too much about Kathryn's past, but he does notice subtle hints that it probably wasn't the best.

The first odd thing to hasppen is at a little gas station when Kathryn is waiting in line a a total jerk played by Eric Roberts bursts in and startes making demands to the cashier. Soon, he is found in the bathroom with his throat cut.

They arrive at a little motel run by Sam (Roy Scheider) and soon people start dying around the motel. Everyone who becomes friends with the couple meet a violent death.

The local Sheriff believes that Paul is guilty of the murders but FBI agent Dan McCloud (Doug Wert) isn't so sure. That's about all I can tell you without giving the great twist ending.

This caught me way off guard, and if you listen to the dialogue at the end it comes a a huge surprise. The movie is well acted and Lindy Booth is, as always, hotter than hell. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED thriller.

The rest of the cast includes Tia Carrere, Daryl Hannah, Robert Shafer and Caitlyn Folley.
