Sci-Fi Horror ‘Honeymoon Phase’ Unveils Trailer Ahead Of September Release

The honeymoon phase is meant to be one of the best times in a marriage, but sometimes, things go terribly wrong. That’s the case in writer-director Phillip G.

Movie Review: The Honeymoon Phase (2019)

Tom (Jim Schubin) and Eve (Chloe Carroll) get a wild hair up their asses that they can put one over on the eggheads runnin’ your friendly neighborhood research project and score fifty grand in cold, hard cash.

Fuckin’ plenty, because as Tom really seems to be gettin’ his jollies in his new environs, Eve begins to suspect that Tom is a tad different from the man she thought she knew… as she tries to navigate a slippery-slope that leads into madness! In The Honeymoon Phase; the debut feature from writer/director Phillip G. Carroll Jr., we get a near-perfect slice of sweet, sweet Twilight Zone pie, as our
