ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

GL84 Under attack by a group of criminals, a small outpost town attempts to find a way of derailing the bank robbers stalking them find an even more dangerous and vicious beast in the nearby woods and must band together to stop the deadly creature.This here wasn't all that bad of a werewolf film and did have some solid points about it. When this one is mostly concerned with it's attacks by the creature itself, this one really comes off nicely with the action providing this one with some rather enjoyable elements throughout here. The opening assault against the different hunters makes for a great time with the rather suspenseful attacks keeping things chilling while letting the kills generate some nice bloodletting in the savagery of the actions, while the later attack in the saloon is quite a hit of fun with the rather frantic and chaotic attacks coming through the walls and windows requiring all sorts of shootouts throughout trying to kill it. As well, the finale in the streets of the old-west town as they try to get the creature killed is a bit of fun with the fun attacks and different escapes required throughout the town that makes for an enjoyable if slightly problematic effort that highlights the few flaws within here. The fact that the action is enjoyable is fine, but it's way too confined to that one section of the film as the majority of the time this one doesn't really offer up a whole lot of rather frantic werewolf action on display. It's only got these several scenes to really go on that generates the kind of overall action within this one that lets it be known it's actually a werewolf movie since the majority of the film is concerned with other areas than getting to the creature. By focusing on the different criminal gang interacting with the townspeople and how they're getting the underhand against the creature running loose, it all holds off the attack generated from the attacks actually occurring as there's so much time in between it getting loose again that it takes up the time on these other matters which isn't all that interesting as the main section of the film. As well, that problem also brings up another in the form of a rather brief series of action scenes that go by quickly in order to move on to the next scene without ever letting the action sink in, and with the quick-shot editing this one really does have some substandard action within here. These here are the film's few issues that hold it down.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

FlashCallahan The old west gets hairy when a town is overtaken by skinwalkers, or as we all like to call them, werewolves. Knowing they've got to combine forces if they want to survive the night, the passengers of a stagecoach unite with a heroic gunslinger and a couple of outlaws to battle the beastly enemy under the blood red moon......It appears lately that any high concept film, trying to mix genres together, rarely gets it right, and they are usually funded by some small British film company. Some, on the rare occasion, get it right, like cockneys Vs Zombies.But then there's a film called Navy Seals Vs Zombies........make of that what you will.But like those films, where they come up with the title and work from there, the premise here is pretty sound, even if it does sound like Tarantino's forthcoming Hateful Eight, sans Lycanthrope.And this is where the film falters. I can imagine while Tarantino's protagonists/Antagonists are holed up together, they will have rich and complex characterisation, and have some wonderful dialogue to boot.Here, it's pretty mundane, we have the bad guys telling everyone else to shut up after they get a bit chippy with one another, and there's occasional flirting from the bar owner. Oh and every once in a while, the one you recognise from other films spits, and he spits a lot.And this happens for the whole of the second act, and the majority of the third, until we finally get to see what we've been eating to see for the whole movie, and as predicted, it's a bit of a let down.There is some sub-plot involving another party, and one is a bit mysterious, but it detracts from the 'action' in the bar.And it all finishes with the bloke from Billy Elliot saying that you wouldn't have heard where he came from and giving the whole film a sort of Van Helsing vibe, and sorts of promises the beginning of a franchise, which could improve if their are vampires involved.Which sounds a lot more promising than Traffic Wardens vs Zombies.....

Greg Gillet I saw this at my local film society (its first public showing in Kent, where it was made). I thought it was pretty good by any standards (and not just "pretty good for a film that only cost £520,000").If you're expecting state of the art special effects and CGI and an extended gore-fest, you'll be disappointed, but it's highly watchable, engaging, sometimes funny and made me jump more than once! In a Q+A afterwards, the director and the director of photography admitted they had had the same problem that a lot of creature feature makers have - the creature never looks as convincing on screen as you had hoped (we all remember the rubber-looking shark in Jaws!). As a result, their creature is only briefly on screen but its presence and menace are still felt.All the actors give a good performance but I'd maybe highlight Shaun Dooley as Calhoun, looking like a slightly younger Russell Crowe, and Corey Johnson as Hank.I'm not a big horror genre fan myself - if you are, you might find yourself insufficiently scared - but Blood Moon still stands as a well-made indie film. It benefits from having been shot in Laredo, a Western town in the UK recreated by a group of re-enactors - the period detail throughout is much more than skin deep and it's a convincing enough location to have fooled many people into believing it was shot State-side.It's done pretty well on the festival circuit and, as the first British-made Western since "Carry on Cowboy" in 1965 (reputedly), I think it deserves watching.

Hans Krishnan I am a huge fan of werewolf films and this film is nothing but a good werewolf horror film. All the credit goes for Jeremy Wooding, the director, who brilliantly limited the CGI effects in the film and let the beast lurk in the darkness. What is to be appreciated here is , how the director managed to deliver an decent film with in such limited budgets but not sacrificing on any aspects of the horror. From my point of view this a perfect werewolf horror film, where the werewolf fans will be 100% satisfied. It's like yeah you know he is out there, but he won't just show himself, but you go outside that saloon and he's gonna slash you into pieces. I strongly recommend this film for all those werewolf film fans. Another good one after "Late Phases". Low budget but really cool film.
