filmboychris Review of The Honeymoon Killers

The Honeymoon Killers (1970)

Stark and disturbing - contains spoilers

[1 April 2003]

A bleak recreation of a real life murder duo-this is filmed cheaply in black and white but shows the facts of the case realistically. Quite bold and unflinchingly nasty in places with a shocking hammer murder of an old woman whilst she begs for mercy, this won't be to all tastes, but as a real life crime reconstruction it works well. The two leads are excellent.
