Bloody Moon is here to remind us of the yawn-inducing depths that the genre can be lowered to by these uncaring, inept hacks.

BLOODY MOON has moments of that inimitable, free-form Franconian vision and, despite its budgetary and narrative failings, it's a slop-bucket full of lurid fun.

"Bloody Moon" is not a movie which I'd call great, it is too shallow and obvious for that. But it's definitely well-made (rather than well-written or well-acted) and basically achieves its goals. Most important of all, it is NOT boring.

Better than Citizen Kane but not quite The Godfather

Pretty cool, yet absurd slasher flick with a hint of giallo, from the often-praised Franco. It's not as sleazy as his other work, but that doesn't stop it from being taboo and pushing all the buttons required to get the censor's panties in a twist.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Franco does a slasher and yes it's ludicrous in the extreme. Bloody Moon is silly fun from veteran sleaze maestro Jess Franco and it is easy to see why the DPP got their silly knickers in a twist, this pushed all the buttons, incest, blood on breasts, power tools, a child ran over by a classic car it has all the essential ingredients that annoy the censorious. But fans of 80's slasher movies or giallo pics will get a lot of enjoyment from this German film from the Spanish legend Bloody Moon is a Bloody Treat.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

No moon to be seen... Bloody Moon is one of the video nasties garnered notoriety from the BBFC, the gratuitous nudity and violence definitely made it a suitable candidate. The subject matter was also very dark, it is one of the rare video nasties I'd consider as a worthy candidate. Deserves a watch for blood thirsty horror fans.

Somewhat creepy if not flat-out terrifying with performers who are sort of likeable despite the laughably bad acting.
