Bloody Moon (1981)
7/10
Franco slasher satisfies
7 June 2009
This is a video nasty that was banned in Britain, and released with 1 minute and 20 seconds cut in 1993, and released uncut November 2008.

The movie heavily influenced by Halloween, and there are elements of Friday the 13th, as well. In other words, a typical slasher film.

Miguel (Alexander Waechter) was just released from a psychiatric facility following a brutal murder in the past. His sister Manuela (Nadja Gerganoff) works at the same boarding school where the murder took place. Of course, the relationship between brother and sister is definitely different from Halloween.

It's a European (Spanish/German) film, so the girls sit around the pool topless. They also party a lot instead of studying.

Angela (Olivia Pascal) just happens to occupy the same room where the murder took place, and gets the feeling of being stalked. Of course, Eva (Ann-Beate Engelke) drops in at the wrong time. However, the body disappears before anyone but Angela sees it.

Next up is Inga (Jasmin Losensky), who yaks incessantly while she is being tied up thinking she is in for something kinky. What she is in for is the infamous scene on the DVD cover. I can imagine that was the scene cut in the British release.

I just realized that I haven't seen the killer's face. can it be that Miguel is not the killer? Angela is a death-magnet as Laura (Corinna Drews) shows up and is soon dispatched.

The plotters run their mouths off without paying attention and their plot is overheard. But there are many more surprises in store in this bizarre film.
