A Perfect Getaway
For their honeymoon, newlyweds Cliff and Cydney head to the tropical islands of Hawaii.

The picturesque waterfalls and scenic mountainsides quickly give way to terror when Cliff and Cydney learn of a grisly murder that occurred nearby and realize that they're being followed by chance acquaintances that suspiciously fit the description of the killers.
