Reader's Annotation: Madly in love, Danny and Denise get married and head off into the sunset to the beachy honeymoon. But after being attacked by a Zombie their honeymoon turns into a nightmare. How far will Denise go to stand by her new undead Husband?
Synopsis: Denise and Danny have the perfect love. They get married and head off to a perfect honeymoon on the beach. Out of nowhere a zombie rises out of the ocean and attacks Danny, only to drop "dead" minutes after. Free of the threat it soon becomes clear that Danny is dying! Denise rushes him into the ER where he flatlines and dies. Denise devastated by her sudden and unexplainable loss is stunned when minutes after being dead, Danny opens his eyes and is back in her arms. They head home feeling blessed with a second chance at young love. But not soon after she begins to see changes in her true love. Will she be able to deal with the truth that Danny is permanently changed? What's more can either of them survive it?
Notes: Despite it apparent lack of rating, neither being categorized as teen or adult, director Greboe delivers what is the most un-offensive horror movie ever made. One part romance, the other Zombie-Comedy, this B-Movie Indie flick is what teens and adults alike will have to admit is a pre-curser to the Twilight Phenomenon. Dedicated to his sister's late husband who passed away in a surfing accident weeks after they were married, this movie is a heartbreaking yet funny twist on the traditional zombie genre. It is a diamond in the rough, and not to be missed.
Warning: Light sexual acts (they are newlyweds after all) and horror scenes are in the film (although mostly funny), but upon parental approval, I think this is the least offensive "non-rated" film that both parents and older teens will get a kick out of!

A Second Honeymoon? I can hope! Even though the trend of making zombie films is getting more tired than pretty much any other sub-genre in the history of horror, it still doesn’t dampen my desire to see some of the ones that sound like they may either do something different or, at the very least, be a good time. Zombie Honeymoon (review) was a decent example of the latter, so news on a possible sequel piqued my interest.
“I’ve been in talks with the lead actress, Tracy Coogan, about reprising her role of Denise, and we’re excited about the prospect of working together again,” director David Gebroe told Fangoria in a recent interview. ”I just need financing, and we’re ready to go. I always figured I wouldn’t bother working on a sequel unless the first one was successful enough to warrant it. Well, Zombie Honeymoon definitely was, so there’s certainly an audience for a follow-up.”
So how to follow up the massive slaughter that ended the first film? Gebroe’s being tight-lipped about it but did say that the concept is ”fresh and unpredictable enough over the course of a second installment.”
Gebroe’s working on other projects as well, including one that may be produced by An American Werewolf in London director John Landis if all goes according to plan. No more details were available for that one either, but we’ll keep our ears open...
