Devilish Honeymoon

About This Movie

Devilish Honeymoon is an intriguing blend of black comedy and drama, showcasing the chaotic pursuit of a genius inventor by two cunning young women. The film has this oddball charm, with its offbeat pacing and a tone that oscillates between absurdity and tension. You can sense the era it was made in—just at the cusp of normalization—where boundaries were being pushed in narrative and stylistic choices. The performances are spirited, especially from the leads, who embody both humor and depth amidst the mischief and escalating crime—even murder—which adds a layer of dark irony. The practical effects, while not the focus, have a certain raw appeal that aligns with its quirky narrative style.

Devilish Honeymoon has a certain obscurity, with not many prints circulating in collector circles, making it somewhat of a rarity. It was released on a limited run of VHS and later on DVD, but its availability has declined, adding to its allure. Collectors often appreciate its off-kilter narrative style and the way it reflects the cultural shifts of the early '70s. The film’s eccentric premise and performances make it a curious study for those interested in the evolution of genre cinema during that period.
