It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

"Nightmare Honeymoon" tells the story of the honeymooning couple who decide to consummate their marriage in the woods.Unfortunately the couple witnesses a murder and when they try to run two rural killers knock the husband unconscious and rape the wife.After dealing with his wife's trauma the husband finally decides to find and kill rapists..."Nightmare Honeyoon" is pretty tame in comparison to Silverstein's "A Man Called Horse".The rape scene is off-screen and there is only a little bit of violence.The script lacks punch and tension too.Admittedly the climax is pretty tense and there is an aura of heart-breaking despair,so I wasn't completely disappointed.7 rapists out of 10.

***SPOILERS*** Actor John Beck's performance, as psycho killer and rapist Lee, is by far the best reason to see " Nightmare Honnymoon". Without Beck being in the movie and doing his "thing" the film would come across as just your average run of the mill TV Movie crime thriller.The movie itself has newlywed couple David & Jill Webb, Dack Rambo & Rebecca Dianna Smith,witness a contract murder by Lee and his partner Sandy, Roy Jenson, of the manager of the motel that their staying at Mr. Carroll, David Huddleston. Being spotted by Lee & Sandy both David & Jill are held hostage by them with Jill, while David is knocked unconscious, being raped. It's later when David finds out what happened to Jill he goes out of his way to track down the two killers to exact revenge for what they did to his wife.It's when David finds out who contracted the two killer to murder Mr. Carroll his business partner Ruskin, Jay Robinson, he realizes that they aren't professional hit-men flown in from out out of town but local hoodlum who aren't all that professional at all. This explains the bizarre actions of Lee, and to a lesser extent Sandy, that leads David right to their doorstep at the New Orleans Royal Hotel!In him trying to finish what he started Lee goes completely wacko in not only trying to again rape Jill but force her husband David to watch the outrage! The eye popping and sneering Lee gets so caught up with his actions, in him trying to stretch them out, that he gives both David and Jill, whom he's holding hostage, all the time that they needed to finally finish him off.John Beck who usually plays a good guy in the films he's in was never better as the crazed and hyperventilating Lee the hit-man. Even Lee's partner Sandy seemed very uncomfortable being around in him nervously looking, for what seemed like, any excuse to exit the movie. In the end, after Sandy was dispatched by David, Lee was left on his own to face not only a vengeful David, a hand to hand combat Vietnam veteran, but his wife Jill who in the end turned the tables, or her choppers, on him!

With the current UK trend of showing old so-called horror movies that were banned at the time I was just hoping that this one might be shown on TV here. I saw it in Kuwait in 1975 (well you have to do something on a Saturday night in a dry country)and don't remember when I've laughed so much. From the squealing southern belle bride and oh-so-clean-cut groom to guys really called Bubba this film just made my day. The accents are straight out of Gone with the Wind, but with stars sadly lacking Clark Gable's looks or charm. Since I laughed just as hard at Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Evil Dead recently I'm sure I'd bust a gut at this one. (The 5 score is for humour only).

A young groom goes on a vengeance after he witnesses a killing and then has his wife raped, by some rural thugs, on his wedding night. Pretty much loses all relevancy when he tracks down the killers by remembering the names said during the killing and then using the TELEPHONE BOOK!!! To use a exact quote by it's super hunk star Dack "It's a magic detective book filled with the names of murderers and innocent victims. All the names, all the addresses." Has anyone ever heard of UNLISTED number. Oh well somebody better go tell the police and F.B.I. this so they can quit wasting so much money on their sophisticated networking and computer systems. Actress Smith has one of those 'put on' southern accents that almost immediately becomes annoying and after she is 'violated' has a look of constipation for the rest of the time. So mind numbingly standard that it makes a episode of THE A TEAM look creative. As memorable as spending ninety minutes cleaning between your bathroom tiles.
