    Wow, I saw this. Rented it from a gas station on VHS. It's a slasher film, and that's about all I remember. i did like it though.

    For those who are not familiar with Jess Franco, all i can say is that this is most definatly a place i wouldnt start at. Essentially all this is is Franco's foray into the 80's slasher scene. This is also a period in Franco's career that was pretty awful.
    Like all slashers the... read more plot and the characters decisions are extremly frustrating. Example is scene were a chick is in her bedroom with another friend when the freind is murdered while the other girl looks in a closet. Never hearing the sounds of murder, even though shes just a foot away. But thats not were the absurdity ends. The chick comes out of the closet to find her friend lying on her bed with a knife planted firmly in her heart. So she does the right thing and runs out of the house screaming. Only to come back to the scene with others to find the body missing. She seems to accept the fact that maybe she just imagined it and goes to school the next day only to see the empty seat of her freind, were she ends up wondering were she could be!? Umm...didnt you just see her murdered last night!!
    But all the typical bullshit aside, this is a Jess Franco film. And though most who dont have a love affair with his films or have never really taken the time to study this underrated artist...then youll never get why this is more than just a slasher film. Because those of us who love the man and his work know and appreciate what hes capable of both good and very bad. This falls into the almost very bad. But it does have style and Franco style is more than half of the love affair.

    Sleaze-maestro Jess Franco jumps onto the early eighties "body count" splatter movie bandwagon, and while he dutifully follows many of the standard tropes (lots of red herring suspects, much groping and bickering amongst a cast of horny young things, and of course the requisite g... read moreruesome kills), he thankfully also brings along his unique visual style and flair for perverse plot twists. While the body count itself is fairly slim by today's standards, the kills themselves are rather gory, with the showstopper being a truly spectacular decapitation at a stone mill. Regrettably the pacing is distractingly lax, with a few too many scenes of the heroine (pretty Olivia Pascal) roaming around, aimlessly trying to suss out the weird goings on around her, and it doesn't help much that virtually all of the characters behave in bizarre ways that defy both logic and simple human emotion ("There's a dead body in there!" is followed immediately by "Oh, that's ridiculous. Let's make out instead of worrying about that!"). It's pretty hard to care what happens to characters when they're all acting like they come from another planet. The inexcusable (real) on screen death of a snake further knocks "Bloody Moon" down a peg or two. It's certainly no classic, but in its own demented way it is unlike any other slasher flick you've ever seen.

    I bought this for $3.00 at Scarecrow. It was a former rental and it had a sticker that said $150.00 deposit. Well, I'm sure everyone who rented it got their money's worth. Just kidding.

An obsessive liebestod whipped up by Franco in the middle of a throwaway shocker
