BLOODY MOON (aka Die Säge des Todes)

Bloody Moon Movie Review

A bunch of girls at a language school are stalked and killed by a masked maniac. This is a 1981 movie that comes to us from Spain, arriving splattered with blood. The movie kicks off with Miguel, a fella with a large scar on his face, stabbing a woman to death. Five years later, he is released from the institution he was in, arrives at the school, and the killing spree begins.

"It's a coincidence, I swear!"

As I mentioned, there's tons of blood and gore in this movie, and some of the scenes are rather creative--needless to say, the gorehounds will love this stuff. The acting is bad, and if you are watching the dubbed version, it will seem even worse--I can only imagine a lot was lost in the translation, as much of what is said makes little to no sense. The story is a simple one, however, so the dubbing is more of an annoyance than hindrance. There's also plenty of unintentional humor here--be on the lookout for the obviously fake giant boulder, the dummy head used in the saw scene, and my personal favorite, the dead girl's eyes moving to make sure she hits her mark when she falls. Going into this movie, I wasn't expecting a lot, but as it turns out, I was fairly entertained by it.
