B P @Bradster69 1d Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Elvis D @Elvis-Del-Valle Jun 25 The Burning Moon es sin duda una fascinante película de cine gore con ideas bastante prometedoras. El presupuesto limitado y la falta de equipos profesionales son lo único que la alejan de ser otra gran obra maestra del cine de horror. Al final resulta ser una película mediocre, pero hecha con la misma pasión que Ed Wood le daba a sus proyectos. Así que esta película vale la pena verla porque detrás de su mediocridad existe una creatividad que se puede apreciar. Para cualquiera que tenga fascinación por el cine gore más extraño y bizarro, The Burning Moon es una buena opción para pasar un satisfactorio momento de entretenimiento. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 5/10. See more Quillian M @RT39650414 12/14/2023 I lost my mind watching this film, and to be honest, I almost think that was the point. This was so poorly edited, written, and designed that I don't know what I experienced. It was so mentally exhausting that I had to immediately go to bed after watching it - it felt like my brain was melting out my ears. But now I can say I've seen it. See more 01/11/2013 Olaf ittenbach directed this? I am not surprised but I was just disappointed with how badly acted the film is. If this is a comedy then I would actually enjoy this film slightly more. I didn't know what I was doing to resort to watching a German underground horror film like this. See more 09/02/2012 Sooner or later every horror fan runs out of things worth watching and has to resort to scraping the bottom of the barrel (like I've been doing the last few weeks). This is where you'll find amateur self-proclaimed filmmakers like Jörg Buttgereit (the execrable Nekromantik movies) or Fred Vogel (August Underground) and Olaf Ittenbach. The difference it seems with Ittenbach is that unlike his infamous counterparts he seems to actually want to make a movie and not just resort to cheap shock value. That is not to say Burning Moon is worth a flip because its most definitely not. Other than some ok gore and a really insane version of Hell near the end everything else is third rate. It's an ok introduction to Ittenbach and I plan on watching something more recent of his to see if he has gotten any better and can graduate him from Vogal, Buttgereit and the rest of their cesspool. Until then--to be continued. See more 05/10/2012 I'm giving this movie a "strong" 3 stars. There is a lot of potential ground to cover with this movie, but in short, there is something here to be enjoyed by most any fan of horror and/or art house. Whether you enjoy your horror for "cheese" factor, or for gore, or for remorseless attack or atmosphere there is something to be seen in this flick. It of course is most notorious for the gore, and that it certainly delivers, and for those who get their fix from laughing there is certain some low budget translation/subtitles that will suit that taste if that is what you are looking for. However for those horror fans who are looking for something more real, serious, and disturbing; or for the art house fan seeking atmosphere and though provocation, that can been found too if you choose to look closely enough. And that is perhaps what impressed me the most is that for what is essentially a Shot on Video (SOV) and very low budget effort, this movie creates quite a decent amount of atmosphere. Whether it is the surrealistic dream sequences that pop up a couple of times, the short but very real moments of suspense, or the depiction of hell in the denouement. So if you are looking for a good time then the cultural differences and seemingly unmotivated translation will most certainly deliver. And if you are willing to put aside potential differences and give yourself to the surrealistic, mean spirited and gorey ride that is the Burning Moon, you also most likely will not be disappointed!
