The Nasties Review: Bloody Moon

Jess Franco, one of the most prolific exploitation directors bring us Blood Moon, a tale of murder at a language school. Miguel returns to his incestuous sister after being institutionalised for five years for a frenzied murder he committed.
The murders start again on his return and potential victim Angela is having a hard time convincing her friends of what is happening. As the body count rises, Jess Franco hams up the script to phenomenal levels.

@lampyman101 how about having some sort of background music when you give commentaries? it'll be less boring for the listener. :)

[lampyman101]

@dgg094 I'm sorry it's boring without music but I get more complaints if I do have music and more chance of being DMCA'd. I've tried it on a few occasions (including the finale) and it adds an awful lot of work in terms of finding music etc and editing to fit it. In short its too much work, extra risk and not well received for the most part

Isn't the directors name not Jesus Franco? Or is Jess just like a nickname? Hmph. Maybe so. I wouldn't want the guy upstairs associated with "Erotikill". Oh, and this pile of shite, of course.

[lampyman101]

@MrDonkeydong155 Jesus is his actual name yes. It's quite a common name in Spanish speaking countries (though it's pronounced 'hey zeus) much like Mohamed is in Islamic countries. He very often just goes by Jess Franco, in English speaking countries at least, I guess for the exact reason you've just highlighted.

What the fuck ? at 8:10 the guy has a jean jacket then at 8:12 he has a white suit then again at 8:16 he has a jean jacket !!!

[lampyman101]

@PlanetariumVagatio That's a different guy not a continuity error. It's probably not that clear from my editing of the clip though so don't feel bad

I found "Die Säge des Todes"(Bloody Moon) to be strangely intriguing.

[Traductus5972]

I use to hate Franco Films but then i watched a documentary on him and It brought all his films into perspective where he himself explains his love for the extreme and the fact it all comes out of the incoherent thoughts of his head and that all his films seem like a day dream. In Most cases in daydreams there is very little consistency in one straight forward plot.

That main theme that kept playing every two seconds in the movie reminds me of the Cannibal Holocaust theme.

This movie looks really good. It makes me think of the burning. ANy relation between the two?

[lastmarine]

i thought this was a pile of shit, but then i hate most Franco flicks.

[neoinuyashafight]
