The Honeymoon Killers

Love is a bitch...Called Martha.

Directed by Leonard Kastle

Produced by Roxanne Company, American International Pictures

A bleak, intimate portrait of two damaged people bound together by obsession and murder, where romantic desperation becomes complicity in serial killing.

Martha Beck, an obese nurse who is desperately lonely, joins a "correspondence club" and finds a romantic pen pal in Ray Fernandez. Martha falls hard for Ray, and is intent on sticking with him even when she discovers he's a con man who seduces lonely single women, kills them and then takes their money. She poses as Ray's sister and joins Ray on a wild killing spree, fueled by her lingering concern that Ray will leave her for one of his marks.
