Movie Info

Martha Beck (Shirley Stoler), an obese nurse who is desperately lonely, joins a "correspondence club" and finds a romantic pen pal in Ray Fernandez (Tony Lo Bianco). Martha falls hard for Ray, and is intent on sticking with him even when she discovers he's a con man who seduces lonely single women, kills them and then takes their money. She poses as Ray's sister and joins Ray on a wild killing spree, fueled by her lingering concern that Ray will leave her for one of his marks.

Audience Reviews for The Honeymoon Killers

Dec 30, 2012

Feels like a John Waters movie. Odd and slow. Not sure I liked it.

Hugo S Super Reviewer

There are some very funny moments, but it's long for its subject matter, and not as shocking as I had hoped it would be. If this were a horror film it would have done a lot better.

I live in a country where people will inform you that Pulp Fiction is action, American Psycho is horror, Eternal Sunshine is comedy, Donnie Darko is witty, and the Honeymoon Killers is drama. well, what was i supposed to expect? its pretty hilarious.
