TUBI CONTINUED… HONEYMOON HORROR (2008) ** ½

Nick (Andy McGuinness) is horny, and his girlfriend Amy (Julia M. Morizawa) is frigid, which is a bad combination if you ask me.  Desperate to get her to lighten up in the bedroom, Nick books a vacation getaway to a sex resort.  However, every time tries to put the moves on her, Amy has disturbing visions and freaks out on him, which seriously kills the mood.  While they are working on their sexual incompatibilities, a crazed killer cavorts around the camp’s bungalows offing swingers and sex maniacs left and right.  Could it be the creepy caretaker who’s always hanging around and hoping for a threesome?  Or is there something even more sinister lurking in the woods?

The stuff with McGuinness and Morizawa working on their relationship is kind of a snooze.  Early on, there’s a scene where they are trying to have a serious conversation and I just couldn’t concentrate on what they were saying because they were playing an awesome spook show trailer compilation in the background, and I was more concerned what was going on with that than I was with their relationship drama.  I understand not everyone will have the same reaction I did, but this scene definitely made me want to pull out my old Monsters Crash the Pajama Party DVD. 

Fortunately, things perk up once the action switches to the swingers’ resort.  There’s a great scene where the killer cuts a dom’s dick off and shoves it down his bound submissive’s mouth.  I also enjoyed the odd sequence that plays like an S & M sitcom (complete with laugh track).  It was also good seeing W.A.V.E. starlet Tina Krause popping up late in the game as a horny camper who picks up McGuinness.  The movie kind of goes off the rails at the end with the reveal of the killer, but the short running time (fifty-five minutes) and bountiful T & A ultimately make it semi-recommended.  

Oh, and the original title was Blood and Sex Nightmare, which makes a lot more sense, seeing how the couple isn’t married and aren’t on their honeymoon.

AKA:  Blood and Sex Nightmare.
