"Forsyth's over the top performance, Bava's impeccable direction, and the fantastic art design of the film combine to create a fun giallo to rival the best of the genre. While this film may not be the most original of his works, Hatchet for the Honeymoon certainly is one to check out. The pacing is very sprightly, and this makes for a great night's viewing. There's not too much gore, most of the violence is implied rather than splattered across the screen, but there's enough to keep horror fans happy and placate the thriller fans who dig the occasional gruesome tableau." - J.
