Picture yourself in the mixed of a zombie infestation.  Your town, your friends, and your family are one by one either eaten alive or have contributed there own to an ever expanding army of walking cadavers.  First off, how would you react to a loved one who carelessly falls victim to an unfortunate zombie attack?  Do ya think you’d really have the balls to just put them out of there misery?  Sure, any human being that has just survived a zombie attack would say that you MUST shoot ALL victims between the eyes before you'd even have time to second guess the situation.  Sometimes dead is better.  Second, if you couldn't face up to the facts that the man or woman you love is slowing becoming another member of the walking dead, how do you spend the last moments you'll ever have with this person?  These are all questions that David Gebroe tries to realistically answer in his independent film Zombie Honeymoon.  A film which was made with the help of a small handful of cash, a mediocre script, and amateur (at best) camera direction, editing, lighting, and special effects.  It's a film you probably picked up to read at least the front cover of at your local video store, but then, put it down for a film that looked a little safer.  Good move!  Zombie Honeymoon can be a little fun at time with its crazy characters, but in all reality, the film should have never been made.

The biggest problem with Zombie Honeymoon that I have is that everything about the film screams... "Hey guys, let's just get this over with."  The story is simple.  Two newly weds go on there honeymoon and the dude gets infected by a random zombie that decides to just...errr...walk out of the ocean and attack.  Maybe Gebroe got too big of a kick out of seeing Romero (Land of the Dead) and Fulci (Zombi 2) pull off their whole aqua zombie scenes in their films but in Zombie Honeymoon...it's as ridiculous and unnecessary as it sounds.   Now, after Danny (the dude) becomes infected, his wife, played by Tracy Coogan, slowly starts to realize that her husband is mysteriously changing his eating habits (brrrrains!) and his once boyish good looks are starting to quickly fade.  The film then becomes predictable and does little to help keep an audience on their toes.  This is not a scary movie by any means; nor is it at all really humorous.   It's tedious and a constant let down in nearly every scene.  The whole film feels rushed and awkwardly thrown together.

Again, the main purpose of Zombie Honeymoon is to show a more passionate and realistic side to the whole process behind zombification.   This whole premise is already hard to swallow because zombie movies are known for crazy amounts of gore and senseless violence.  On the gore meter, I'd say this film does shell out an okay amount of blood but all is lost when dismembered parts look as if they were bought from a local gag shop. You’ll find yourself frustrated very quickly with this one.

The last five or so minutes of Zombie Honeymoon are probably the best out of its entire 80 minute running time.  Gebroe actually attempts to display rather artistic imagery and impressive shots that are centered on the wife's natural beauty mixed with the emotional loss of the man she knew…and possibly as a zombie...still loves.  Rather than shedding a tear for the mistress in distress...you will want to throw up your whole lunch while yelling effortlessly at the television, "For the love of God shoot that zombie in the face!"

I don't recommend this movie to any fans of any type of filmmaking.  It's a disaster, and especially horror / zombie fans will feel incredibly frustrated throughout this entire film.  It's a nice idea, but the bottom line is this:  zombies and all that mushy stuff don't mix...unless the mushy stuff is brrrrrrains!!!
