What happens

Zombie Honeymoon is a 2004 independent horror film directed by David Gebroe and starring Tracy Coogan, Graham Sibley, Tonya Cornelisse, and David M. Wallace. It was produced by Hooligan Pictures. The New York Times described it as, "Not quite the campfest, it's absurd but the undeniably catchy title suggests, Zombie Honeymoon is actually an emotionally driven blend of romance, comedy and horror." The film won a Chainsaw award in 2006 for best low-budget film. Zombie Honeymoon centers around the doomed love story of Denise (Tracy Coogan) and Danny (Graham Sibley) Zanders, whose honeymoon is disrupted by an attack that turns Danny into a zombie. Denise is torn between her desire to protect her husband and her revulsion at what he is becoming. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
