Review – Bloodmoon

Aside from a couple of small details, this is yet another run-of-the-mill slasher movie. Unlike most others this one’s Australian, and the weapon of choice is a peculiar garrote made of barbed wire. But otherwise our friends down under prove that they can hold quite strictly to the conventions of the genre. Teenagers have sex (somewhat graphically in a couple of spots). They’re butchered by the psycho-killer. Then the antagonist is done in by his obsession with slaughtering the “good kids,” the ones who are truly in love and aren’t actually having sex. The production is competent enough (aside from sporting a dreadful soundtrack and dragging just a bit toward the end) and should prove more than able to satisfy any craving one might have for this sort of thing. Mildly amusing
