The story is a scary idea and is surprisingly cohesive from beginning to end, and these viewers didn't mind the impression that the screenplay and the actors and the entire crew of unknowns (particularly the effects man) somehow simultaneously overachieved in the production of this very watchable low budget thriller. The murders are at times explicit (a cross section of a chopped off arm) but anchored in the reality of the piece. Still this is not a feminist piece. The people who survive in this movie are hairy disco muscle guys. They can survive any transgression that is usually grounds for punishment in horror films and do. Women, on the other hand, could best be described as doomed. When the killer is finally recognized, it provides a rather scary moment as his appearance was prepared and timed well. Want to watch a cheap bloody horror movie for laughs, watch this. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Plot Summary</U></B><B>: Intro to a couple arguing. Frank leaves in a boat and Elaine leaves for her lover. Frank comes back for cigarettes and upon searching the apt. , he hears her laughter above and discovers them together. The cuckold Frank finds Elaine and is in the process of strangling the lover when Elaine smashes a beer bottle over his head starting a fire and leaves him there answering her lover's pleas, "Let him burn!". The Police arrive at Gene's One Stop where girls are buying decorations for the honeymoon cabins of their sorority sisters and their bridegrooms, three couples planning to spend their honeymoons at the new lakeside resort, Lovers Island. The now Mrs. Vic Carlson (Elaine) has redone the lake lodge as a honeymoon paradise, the Sheriff is skeptical as are most of the mainlanders, who never believed Elaine's mourning widow routine. The deputy is worried about the cleaning lady with the fake British accent and the caretaker crazy Joe, but the lazy Sheriff doesn't want to bother Mrs. Carlson. The honeymoon appears to be over early for at least one couple judging by the bickering of the Frank's guilty newlywed murderers. The sorority girls arrive by outboard, and as they decorate the cabin, one discovers a mangled body, and is attacked herself, while the others sun themselves or decorate other cabins, then inexplicably it is night and they moontan themselves. As the decorating committee is picked off in rapid fire succession, one gets the impression that the honeymoon, as the title indicates, is going to be an horror. The unsuspecting honeymooners arrive the next morning, laughing and smiling their happy naive heads off. Although the sight of Joe unnerves them a bit, "He's a little retarded. He can't speak." they quickly settle into the horror movie honeymoon routine of eating and forever readying for sex that never happens. We soon grow as tired of Vic's complaining as Elaine obviously has. Linda insists that Dwayne carry her across the threshold. Traditional virtues like that could keep her alive in a slasher movie. Dwayne, on the other hand, wants to go out and lift weights rather than spend time with his wife on their honeymoon. That ought not to be a good move in a horror movie. Elaine and Vic's marriage looks like it's under some strain. One of the newlyweds wonders why Elaine married a card like Vic. But maybe we're too hard on Nick. Did he ask to be involved in a murder? But there he is leering at the newlyweds and our contempt rebounds. He didn't ask to be involved in a murder. We do too. We soon hear the snuffling of the observer. Is it Frank, somehow having survived the fire, yearning to be in among those enjoying the wedded bliss that he has lost? A newlywed is shower-scened. A body is soon found "all ripped up on the beach". Suddenly, the dock is on fire and the boats as well. To make matters worse, the CB is out. They check the antenna and find its been sabotaged. The survivors are gathered at one cabin Elaine goes out and something grabs her ankle from under the stairs.  The ragged breather is trying to get in. He hacked a newlywed to bits, her husband swooned,  Suspicion inevitably turns to crazy Joe. Why would they hire a guy like that? The two surviving newlywed men go in search of the retard. They decide to hog tie crazy Joe, but the body count continues its steady rise. To the tune of labored breathing outside, Elaine realizes no one has locked the back door and Vic goes to check briefly leaving Elaine alone. Upon investigation, the two muscleman newlyweds find Joe is still hog-tied and rush back to the main cabin for the final showdown with the real psycho.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
