Blood Moon Review
The first scene, with its clichéd subjective point of view (presumably that of a wolf) and a gaggle of irritating teenagers, combined with the generic horror box art and title would have you think this is a teen take on the familiar wolfman saga. How wrong you would be, as Blood Moon and director Thom_Fitzgerald have much, much more in mind. The film is actually a very well done, exceedingly thoughtful horror-laced meditation on adolescent acceptance. The briskly moving saga combines chilling elements of Tod_Browning's Freaks (1932), several campy sideshow musical numbers, plentiful action, and superb makeup effects in telling an unsettling story that never ceases to fascinate (Grace_Jones' half-man/half-woman act is worth a rental alone). Originally called Wolf_Girl, this hidden gem, while not for everyone, could find acceptance with horror, drama, and thriller fans looking for something different. Cult status, in the manner of Santa_Sangre, is not out of the question. Buzz McClain, Rovi
