Reviews

Newlywed and Dead has garnered mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 5.2/10. Some viewers appreciate the suspenseful elements and the strong performance by Shenae Grimes-Beech. One IMDb reviewer mentions, 'Grimes-Beech delivers a captivating performance that keeps you invested in Kristen’s plight.' The general pacing and plot twists have also been cited as positives. However, criticism arises from the film's predictability and certain clichés prevalent in the thriller genre. An article from a review on Metacritic notes, 'While the storyline holds potential, it often falls into familiar tropes that seasoned thriller fans might find too predictable.' Despite these criticisms, 'Newlywed and Dead' offers a compelling watch for those who enjoy a blend of romance and suspense. Overall, the film seems to evoke a sense of intrigue but may not stand out significantly in a crowded genre.
