Killer’s Moon

As dusk approaches in the Lake District, the peace is about to be shattered by a night of bizarre terror, as four sadistic psychopaths–who recently escaped from a prison mental hospital–take out their demented hostilities on a busload of schoolgirls and two young campers., Teenagers will go camping, they will have sex, and they will wander aimlessly around on lonely roads in the dead of night. If you liked this by-rote formula in Friday the 13th, chances are you’ll like Killer’s Moon. Nothing’s really new about the main character, an escaped murderer who slashes only when the moon is full. The novelty comes in the awe-inspiring variety of methods he uses to slice and dice his victims. Though Killer’s Moon is certainly full of screams, shocks and gushing blood, 92 minutes’ worth of audience attention may be a bit too much to ask for.
