Guilty Pleasure – Haunted Honeymoon

  • Title: Haunted Honeymoon

Feeling somewhat lost to time, 1986’s Haunted Honeymoon, directed and co-written by Gene Wilder, was an attempt at a comedy-chiller that teased fantastical elements for both Wilder and his wife Gilda Radner. The film was both a box office and critical failure, and while still available Blu-ray (if you can find it) the film isn’t available on any streaming platform. However, there’s something worth revisiting for me every now and then.

One Night Only

  • Title: One Night Only

Like many romcoms, One Night Only gets a bit too cute for its own good. Set in an alternate reality where premarital sex has been outlawed except for one night a year, we get a glut of horny singles hitting on anything that moves.

The Invite

  • Title: The Invite
  • IMDb: link

Easily comparable to Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, both in its subject manner and its origins and staging from a stag play, The Invite is nothing more or less than an evening two couples spend together leading to arguments, arousal, suffering, and, ultimately, something nearing understanding. Although at times uncomfortable, it’s an evening you don’t want to miss.
