Needless to say that I had never heard about this 1990 Australian horror movie titled "Bloodmoon" prior to sitting down and watching it here in 2024.
As I happened to stumble upon the movie by random chance, and seeing it was a horror movie, of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch what writer Robert Brennan and director Alec Mills had to offer.
The storyline in "Bloodmoon" was pretty bland. It was not a particularly interesting movie, much less an effective horror movie. Why? Well, there was just simply not enough going on throughout the course of the 100 minutes that the movie ran for, and that made the movie feel bland and somewhat pointless. There was nothing scary about the movie, unless you consider the lack of aforementioned things to be scary.
You actually have to sit through about 65 minutes of the 100 minute runtime before anything remotely interesting starts to happen. And by then, it was just simply too little, too late.
I wasn't familiar with the talents on the cast list. Though I will say that some of the acting performances were actually fair.
Visually then "Bloodmoon" was bland and nondistinctive.
The only thing impressive about "Bloodmoon" was that the music was composed by Brian May.
Not a great horror experience in any way. And a rather forgettable movie at that.
My rating of "Bloodmoon" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
