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.

Rated: 3/5

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

with hold-your-breath tension, Cronin creates an atmosphere that wholly immerses the audience in terror.

Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam

A meandering mess of a movie, Chris Cronin’s “The Moor” is an occasionally effective thriller that proves sporadically engaging, only to squander its potential.

Rated: 1.5/4.0

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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.

O que temos de melhor é a fotografia e iluminação. O roteiro não tem um fio condutor então tudo fica perdido do início ao fim. As melhores cenas são as com a personagem Eleanor.
