Blood Moon (2014)

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Blood Moon: A Werewolf Western. Bank robbers bushwack stagecoach passengers little knowing that the keeper of the rest station they had stopped at was just killed by a Werewolf (called a Skinwalker by Indians). Now passengers and robbers come under siege by the creature.Meanwhile a Town Marshall and an Indian tracker (who knows a thing or two about Skinwalkers) are in pursuit of the robbers.Good Horror/Western. 6.5/10.

Well I was happy to sit back tonight excited about getting two movies wrapped up in one, I love a good Western & I love a good werewolf movie. Two birds with one stone right? This movie was a bit slow on the start & I was close to turning it off, especially with all the in depth "Slow dragging" chattering going on in the bar, but my other half is like me & loves Vamp's, Zombies, werewolves & Westerns.. So she said give it a minute more. We knew the director was letting us get to know the characters, although I thought that they spent a little to much time on that side of the story considering this was involving werewolves & we knew that the actors would not be excepting any Oscar's.When the action started after the moon rose it did get a bit better & get a bit more interesting. Downfall was it was a bit dark & they didn't have a lot of the werewolf on the screen, reminded me of the old movies that mostly showed shadows moving here & there, and having you squint to try & make out what you thought you may have or may not have seen or what your wanting to see. Not a big deal since the music score was right & timing was right when it did appear. My whole take on this film is if you like a fair B-Movie with Cowboys, Outlaws, Werewolves & it's a rainy Saturday, get some popcorn, relax but keep in mind this is just that & you will enjoy this movie. I would say it's a high 3 or 4. Watchable again? Yes

The poster or synopsis can be misleading, at first glance Blood Moon is a supernatural movie set in wild west. Unfortunately, it's not much more than bantering between random cowboy and thug cliché, as for the supposed werewolf, or skinwalker in this case, it only appears in a fragment of the runtime. This leaves audience with mundane subpar western B-movie action at best.What could be a unique premise unfortunately ends up with barren showing, majority of the characters are plain and lacking any presence. The movie tries to introduce many personalities, such as the young journalist, the usual mysterious gunman, enigmatic shaman and the unlawful hooligans. However, they are not fully fleshed out and the choppy acting makes it hard to invest on any of them, thus making the many subplots even more tedious.At times it almost looks like they are just random people in period reenactment rather than actual cast for a movie. This takes away from the supernatural angle as well, which is incredibly disappointing considering it takes nearly an hour to build-up on the creature's backstory. The characters hype it with oversaturated fire camp stories about this ominous being for two third of the movie.The most decent thing here is its practical effect, the gore looks intimidating and quite eerie. Still, the skinwalker deserves much more than a few bloody shots. When it does appear so briefly the movie uses rapid editing and jerky camera. In fact, it does so for almost the entire action sequences to the point of gunshot looking like timid firecrackers.With no decent pay-off for its arduously long build-up, Blood Moon is lackluster on both action and horror. Staring at actual moon for an hour and half would be a better use of your time.

I am a huge fan of werewolf films and this film is nothing but a good werewolf horror film. All the credit goes for Jeremy Wooding, the director, who brilliantly limited the CGI effects in the film and let the beast lurk in the darkness. What is to be appreciated here is , how the director managed to deliver an decent film with in such limited budgets but not sacrificing on any aspects of the horror. From my point of view this a perfect werewolf horror film, where the werewolf fans will be 100% satisfied. It's like yeah you know he is out there, but he won't just show himself, but you go outside that saloon and he's gonna slash you into pieces. I strongly recommend this film for all those werewolf film fans. Another good one after "Late Phases". Low budget but really cool film.
