Everyone who has actually seen this movie should rate it appropriately

5.2 stars?

I don't think so. Everyone who has seen this movie, who isn't friends with the people who made it, knows it is absolutely horrendous, and not in a good way.

Unfortunately, the people who made it and the people who are stuck with them keep safeguarding this movie's imdb entry and post misleading star ratings and forum posts.

I mean, for real, everyone knows this movie is indefensible. So please do your part and give it the 1 star it so richly deserves to counteract the creators and their friends who artificially inflate this movie's score.

Absolutely the worst, most mindless, ham-handed, stupid "horror" movie ever filmed.

I agree with misfitfiend-1: somebody's shielding the untalented zhlub responsible for this piece of sh%t. Showtime even gives it THREE STARS!?

Blair Witch was better than this piece of drivel. Obviously, the alleged "writer/director" Mr. Gabroe is related to somebody big in Hollyweird. No way anyone else could ever get a piece of crap like this produced, filmed and distributed. And continuously awarded high ratings. Unbelievable.

Avoid this mindless, no-talent dreck at all costs. And let's stop giving a free pass to these untalented, but well-connected, Hollyweird insiders and/or relatives. It's one thing for them to award each other prizes and trophies, quite another for the rest of us here in "Fly-Over Country" to continue renting their brainless, tasteless "product" and then parroting the Party Line ("Brilliant! Best film since Citizen Caine!" etc.)

The reviewers, fans and message board posts remind me of the "Duck Talker" in Orwell's "1984." Remember him? The guy with the shiny, round spectacles and muscular throat who tilted his head back and mindlessly quacked away whatever "Newspeak" jargon the Party had approved that day. That's what many critics, reviewers and posters are becoming. And THAT, my friends, is the REEL horror.

You obviously dont know how movies get made, or released. I've been in the movie making business for twenty years, doing payroll, set design, and various other odd jobs. It isn't as easy as having connections. Personal connections mean nothing in this business, it's about making money. As for the people who gave it three stars, they might just have different tastes than you. I didnt particularly care for it, but i'm not going to accuse someone who liked it of having connections or being friends with the people who made it. So try not to force your own opinion as fact, when it is actually just your opinion. Also, people who make movies do not come onto websites like this to keep up appearances. Movie makers seldom post on forums, and if they do, it's a forum of their own making, so they can control the environment. Use a little intelligence, less bad puns, and try not to be a dick. Maybe someone somewhere will respect your opinion, because as it is, I do not.

I could name at least 40 zombie/infected movies worse than this lol.

[–] bkabo-1 16 years ago

Wow, we can do that? I mean, I guess I knew that, but never tried it before. Feels good! Honestly, tho, how are people rating this? Deserved 1's with 10's from family and friends causing it to hover around 5? Too many 2's, perhaps. In any case, this is the worst movie I've seen in some time, the past few years, at least. The only reason I watched the whole thing(in 3-4 sessions) was in the hope that it would redeem itself at some point. I thought that there was no way it could be so bad. My mistake. I just couldn't get past the idea that one would stay with someone after they'd eaten several people, including mutual friends, whether they exhibited any glimmer of their past self from time to time or not. Maybe it's because I'm divorced.... Admittedly, I don't watch very many films so my "worst" might not actually be that bad compared to someone that watches a lot of movies. I haven't yet, but I find myself wanting to post a link to this movie when I see threads about how other movies are "the worst ever". If you haven't seen this movie...don't.

[–] ragsymuffin 16 years ago

I think it's at least a six. Good story...wondering how much the wife will put up with. Good acting. Far superior to such dreck as Mustang Sally's House of Horror. Kept my interest throughout...and that was after watching Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull in the theater tonight.

[–] mycatsnores 16 years ago

I gave it a 1. I think that's appropriate for this movie seeing as you can't give minus scores.

i love my cats!

[–] phishpeaks 16 years ago

Too be fair, I'd give Zombie Honeymoon a 3/10. I don't think it's god awful enough to warrant a 1/10 but there's also no way in hell that it merits an above average rating (let alone a perfect 10/10). I agree that anyone who lacks the integrity to at least TRY to be objective in their rating of a movie should do everyone a favor and refrain from casting a vote.

I will say this for Mr. Gebroe. If nothing else, Zombie Honeymoon for all its flaws does at least stand as a superior effort over his unwatchable first effort, The Homeboy (which DOES in all fairness deserve a 1/10 rating).

Yes, it is the most unpleasant movie I have ever seen, with only one redeeming feature - the words THE END. Half a mark for these two words.

[–] jhray8417 16 years ago

funny. i watched some of this movie tonight (which i had never heard of) and when i got to my computer i decided to look it up.

the EXACT thought in my mind as i typed it in was "you know, self, this is gonna be a movie that has a few 'friends and family' pumping it and writing absurdly positive reviews and comments. i can smell it"....

and alas. self wasn't disapointed.

Maybe I'm weird (maybe? ;-) but I rate movies according to my enjoyment of them, not according to how they measure when compared to "Citizen Kane."

I really liked this one for all of it's "WHOA!" and "YICK!" moments. (Yes, even 50-year-old women can love cheesy, gory zombie flicks. ;-)

As they used to say on "American Bandstand," "It has a good beat and you can dance to it... I gave it an '8.'" Woo hoo!

And now for something completely different...

[–] entej 15 years ago

I do the same, score for Citizen Kane and for this are too different things. If anybody thinks this is the worst movie ever - they dont know a damn thing about horrid movies. At least they are tried!

And enjoyment that any movie brings is the most important thing

[–] thefabslv 15 years ago

Cool! I knew I couldn't be the only one... :-)

And now for something completely different...

"Maybe I'm weird (maybe? ;-) but I rate movies according to my enjoyment of them, not according to how they measure when compared to 'Citizen Kane.'"

Right on. This film was fun and innovative. I have the same philosophy of rating movies according to how much I enjoy them, as opposed to the technical aspects of a movie. Besides, I'm not an expert on judging movies based on quality of production, but boy I can figure out whether something was enjoyable or not.

I gave this movie a 6/10, it might have been higher if the movie didn't drag out in places, and if the film was more light-hearted and whimsical towards the end I think it might have been better also. And Tracy Coogan's not hard on the eyes at all, which helps.

And to the guy(s) that say too many people rate this a 10 as opposed to a 1, the two most voted ratings on this are 5 and 6, so it seems like the majority of people found this movie to be average, rather than the stinker a few of the outspoken people on here feel it was.

Don't speak for me misfitfiend-1, I'm not friends with the films producers and I loved Zombie Honeymoon. I thought the angle of how far true love can be pushed and the way the husband slowly got worse as if he was dying of an illness was great. I have to say by the end, when she was trying to have a candle lit dinner with her husband (who was obviously way past it), was very sad and touching.

Well, first off, im addicted to Zombie movies. If there is a zombie movie, count me in. Now for this movie...

First, imo, A zombie movie CANT have ONE zombie. That is just....stupid. This movie should have been a SHORT film, not 85 minutes. The only good scenes is when the bf eats people.

IS this a 1/10 movie, imo, no. Worst movie I ever seen, no. Ive seen much worse, try watching those Super baby Geniuses movies, ugh.

Now, whoever said 3/10, I agree with. If we could do the decimal system, id give it a 2.6 outta 10. I enjoyed the few good bloody scenes, the rest, not for me. When I think Zombie movies I wanna see some zombie action, not this love-drama. That is just me though. But how this movie has a 5.1 rating, IDK.

[–] Necrotard 14 years ago

This movie's rating was based on over 1000 reviews. You honestly think the film crew participated in rating the film enough to pull it up significantly? I didn't think it was that bad. I thought it deserved about a 5, personally.
