Claire was just a child when her best friend was abducted and murdered. Twenty-five years later, the killer has served his time and is due to be released. Claire is approached by Bill, the dead boy's father, who has a plan to keep the killer behind bars. With the help of psychic Eleanor, he takes them deep into the haunted moor which he believes is his son's final resting place. They find more than just the ghosts of dead children out there -- something else, something dark and evil, stirs beneath their feet.

If Cronin had stayed similarly grounded, he might have had one of the best British horror films in years on his hands; as it is, he hasn’t, but has a pretty promising future instead.

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

The Moor is an emotionally exhausting, terror-inducing look at trauma, grief, and regret that is not uncommon in horror but feels fresh and exciting through the eyes of up-and-coming director Cronin.

The buildup of the crime aspect only to have the mystical intrude and undermine the entire case, feels like a war of writers, neither having enough for a full feature.

The Moor is a very well-made competent movie. The story centers around a missing boy... and boy, does it show you the moors! The film moves at a slower pace, which may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I personally found it engaging. It moves at a slow pace, until it doesn't, and then you are on the edge of your seat! Many times! A definite achievement that just oozes atmosphere. Check it out if you can.

(Includes spoilers) Very atmospheric, well-acted, and generally interesting, with a chilling prologue, despite an awful lot of repetition, fog, and blurry vision. The problem I had with this movie is that the last 3 minutes are an entirely different movie. Gone is any concern about the serial killer, and one character’s entire persona changes. (Although those of us who have watched zillions of horror movies know never to trust the nice guy.) All of a sudden we get demanding spirits and retribution. To me, a movie’s not a real success if only the last 3 minutes count.

I absolutely loved this occult film, it’s slow but gripping, one of the best mystery film I have seen for a long time with an unexpected ending. I watched it late at night in the darkness and the atmosphere was incredible and it got scary and tense. It shouldn’t be classed as a horror film as horror watchers might be disappointed by this sort of film which is more of a chilling mystical thriller.

I was genuinely gripped through out this movie. It was very spooky and atmospheric. I thought the ending was terrific and the final shot was powerful and has stayed with me.

You don't search a moor without waders. Rubbish.

Could have been an absolute belter of a movie, however turned into a pile of crap and really not worth watching.
