The Burning Moon (1992)

How sad is this?

A Masterpiece!

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

really, i am only giving this video a 10 out of 10 because of the gore. the splatter scenes and insane. a man getting his eye ripped out, his guts ripped out, his teeth getting drilled to dust, and then getting ripped in half for good measure. seriously, if it's not the gore, it's the visual effects that fill in the rest of the film, you see a burning moon on screen, really. the story centers around a drugged up junkie who, after a fight with his parents and shooting up, must tell two fairy tales to his younger sister. you might think the stories will be parodies of real fairy tales, but no, these are straight forward horror stories, and i liked it. it makes it so funny to be cringing at the gory and horrific stories, and then thinking that this is being told to a 6 year old girl. the first story is about a mad slasher who breaks out of a mental hospital to find true love on a blind date, but the date goes sour when his date hears about him and his stolen car on the radio. gore and total massacring proceeds. the second story centers around a rapist Satan worshiping priest who murders people in a small town, but forget about him, a man gets murdered by a sledge hammer, and comes back from the dead to bring his murderer to hell. red proceeds. check this one out if your a fan of gore and shot-on-video murder fests. 10 out of 10.

This movie is a tough mama to find. I finally have it! I saw the trailer in the Traces Of Death III video. When I first saw the trailer I got so curious that I wanted to see this movie. I never found this movie online. The only place I found it was on ebay for more 80 bucks. And I said, 'no way I'm spending 80 dollars just to own this VHS movie rare to find.' Anyway. About a year ago I was in a flea market, somewhere in Mexico. So I saw this guy selling original DVDs for 5 dollars. For my surprise I found The Burning Moon on the section where they have all the 5 dollar movies. I was like, WOA!!!! Hellyeah! On DVD! ORIGINAL! No pirated DVD. 100% ORIGINAL! I was happy to find and I bought it. I'm curious. Where did this guy found or how in the hell was he able to sell a hard to find movie for only 5 bucks! The town that I visited was Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. On the border of El Paso, Texas. Thats where I found the movie. I'm from Laredo, Texas. This movie is to gory for my surprise. A mad priest raping a young girl and then kills her, a criminally insane killer on the loose murdering people, a torturer torturing a guy with drilling his teeth and taking out his guts and then rips him in half! Oh MAN!!! This movie is insane and I loved it! I don't know why is so underground and hard to find this film. Anyway, if you can get your hands on this film, don't sell this film. This is a cult and a collectors film. Nice work Olaf!

"The Burning Moon" is a shot on video type home movie,but a bit more professional than other similar stuff.It has some really good special effects and is gorier than Andreas Schnaas' stuff,if a little less sadistic.The film is about a druged up teen(Olaf Ittenbach)who gets involved with gang fights and has problems at home.He reads his little sister two stories-which form a basis of the movie.First story "Julia's Love" is about a serial killer,who escapes from asylum and terrorises a girl.Second story "The Purity" is about a priest who likes sacrificing and raping women.He kills himself,but a local who think another bloke is the killer kills him,and he returns as a zombie and it climaxes in Hell.Ittenbach's vision of Hell is almost too horrible to watch-the gore is truly extreme!A really good film,my favourite gore scene:a man strapped to a table is operated on by two demons,who pluck out his eye,crave open his body,rip out his insides and then tear him in half with chains from crotch to throat.

This movie is just an excuse to kill off a lot of people on screen and show plenty of blood and guts and torture. Some scenes in this movie are just downright brutal and it's all very much over the top. For the low budget this obviously had the effects are fantastic and makes you wonder if they were only effects. This movie is extremely hard to track down and when you do find a copy it will likely cost you a lot of cash but it is well worth it. When you see the torture scene at the end you'll know exactly what i meant.
