What Is Full Moon Features?

How Much Does Full Moon Features Cost?...

In a time where CGI and other digital technology reign as the kings of cinema special effects, Full Moon Features has released a film with old school SFX and a production timeline nearly half a century-long, spanning from conceptualization to release, with The Primevals.

And this timeline length is no exaggeration. The road to this film’s release began with plot elements used in the 1968 short film Raiders of the Stone Ring by writer-director David Allen (Puppet Master II and The Howling) that evolved into a full-length film script by 1975 and then produced by Charles Band in 1978. Alas, pre-production saw some funding issues surface that postponed the project until filming commenced again in 1994, before finally being completed and released in 2023.

After learning of the existence of Yeti when one is killed in Nepal, Dr. Claire Collier (Juliet Mills) and her student Matt Connor (Richard Joseph Paul) head to the Himalayas to investigate its origin.

The Primevals was a film I thought I’d never get to see. Tracing its roots back to a short filmed in the 1960s, Raiders of the Stone Ring, and through the late 70s and early 80s it constantly seemed to be in some form of preproduction, either by the project’s driving force, stop-motion artist David Allen, or via one of producer Charles Band’s companies. It got frequent mentions in Famous Monsters of Filmland and even a cover story in Cinefantastique. But apart from some footage shot around 1978, nothing came of it until 1994 when the film’s live-action footage was shot in Band’s Romanian studios and the Dolomite Mountains in Italy.

Then, as he was working on the film’s extensive stop-motion effects, Allen died of cancer,...

A project that has been decades in the making, the most expensive film in the history of producer Charles Band‘s company Full Moon, the stop-motion epic The Primevals made its festival premiere last summer and was given a theatrical release through Alamo Drafthouse cinemas earlier this year. A special edition Blu-ray release from Full Moon will be up for order in July (and there’s an Australian release that will be shipping out in August) – but if you want to check out the streaming version, you only have one more week to wait. The Primevals will be available exclusively for rental on Amazon Prime Video and Full Moon Features streaming apps as of May 31st, going for the price of $4.99.

We’ve all probably seen the portmanteau Barbenheimer a thousand times this summer, as movie-goers headed out for double features of Barbie and Oppenheimer. Two movies that couldn’t be more different from each other, but happened to have the same theatrical release date. There have also been all sorts of poster and imagery mash-ups – and now we can share the news that the mad geniuses at Full Moon Features are taking the Barbenheimer insanity a step further. They’re already in pre-production on a wild comedy titled Barbenheimer! Along with this announcement comes the unveiling of promotional teaser art, and we have the Exclusive first look at that artwork at the bottom of this article.

We don’t have information on who’s writing or directing Barbenheimer, but we do have a synopsis: Deep within Dollsville, a group of fed-up female dolls – led by the brilliant Dr. Barbenheimer – build an atomic bomb.

It's heartbreaking to think of all the movies that never made it to the screen. We keep hearing stories of projects collecting dust, incomplete due to unexpected tragedy, or a lack of funds, or a greedy studio executive cutting corners for tax purposes. But every now and then, a long-dead film is exhumed from the grave and is given new life to be enjoyed by a new generation of fans. Case in point: The Primevals, a fantasy adventure more than 50 years in the making that finally got to celebrate its world premiere at this year's Fantasia Film Festival.

The Primevals was first conceived in 1967 by stop motion animator David Allen, whose credits include the adult parody Flesh Gordon, Larry Cohen's Q – the Winged Serpent, and Alex Winter's Freaked. For more than a decade, an early draft of the script was shopped around to various studios, until 1978 when...

Exclusive: UK and US-based sales, production, and financing company Alliance Media Partners (Amp) have inked a deal with B-movie veteran Charles Band to represent his Full Moon Features film library, including titles such as Trancers and The Puppet Master.

The Full Moon library also includes films like The Tourist Trap, Castle Freak, Baby Oopsie, Evil Bong, and SubSpecies. In addition to the company’s back catalog, Amp will also represent Full Moon’s latest productions, starting with Aimee: The Visitor. The pic follows a brilliant but misanthropic computer hacker who unlocks an incredibly advanced Artificial Intelligence program that appears in the form of a beautiful and seductive woman.

The slate also includes The Primevals, directed by Academy Award-winning SFX vet David Allen. The film debuted last week at Fantasia and has been 30 years in the making. Allen shot the film in 1994. He continued to tinker...

Few films in the history of cinema have stories behind them as good as that of The Primevals, which began production in 1969 and was screened for the first time at the Fantasia International Film Festival in 2023. It’s a labour of love like no other, shot be a director who sadly died before he could see the result and completed using techniques which would take literally days to produce a few seconds of action. it emerges now as a real blast from the past, a relic of a lost world. All the more fitting that its subject matter should deal with the same thing.

The story follows Matt (Richard Joseph Paul), an ambitious young scientist whose frustration at having failed his PhD turns to excitement when he is revealed to have been right all along and invited on an expedition as a result. What he’s right about is the.

Plot: After the frozen body of Yeti is discovered, confirming their existence, a group from the University studying it heads to the Nepal wilderness and uncovers the findings of a lifetime.

Review: My heart will always have a special place for the ingenuity and cleverness of Charles Band’s Full Moon Features. Famous for being one of the first independent companies to enter the home video market, focusing on creating weird cult B-movies with shoestring budgets and charm. Full Moon has a particular vibe that we all love, focusing on the horror and sci-fi genre through the lens of a dignified yet schlocky level of adventure. Band’s movies have a light sense of optimism and humor, even in his darkest tales, but The Primevals is a perfect example of the whimsical exploration flicks he was producing in the early to mid-’90s.

Created by the late great David Allen,...

JoBlo’s own Lance Vlcek recently had the chance to interview one of my favorite people in the entertainment business, Full Moon founder Charles Band, about his upcoming release The Primevals – and during their conversation, Band happened to mention a potential project that really captured my imagination. If all goes well, Full Moon will be teaming with a major streaming service to revive the Trancers franchise as a TV series!

Band told Lance, “We have a couple of really interesting possible reboot deals brewing. Now, of course, everything’s slowed down or stopped because of the writers strike and the SAG strike, but in time they’ll turn around, and it will be nice to see some of these movies like Trancers, which is one of them, get made – in the case of Trancers, into a really hopefully well-appointed series on one of the bigger streaming services.“

Trancers is one...

2023 is turning out to be a very exciting year for the legendary production and distribution company Full Moon, which was founded by Charles Band back in 1989 and has brought us films like the Puppet Master franchise, Demonic Toys, Castle Freak, Trancers sequels, and many more over the decades. Earlier this year, after a twenty year wait, they were able to make Subspecies V: Blood Rise and send it out into the world. Their long-awaited stop-motion epic The Primevals has finally been completed and just had its premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival. And now we’ve got the Exclusive first look at their upcoming release Aimee: The Visitor, a movie that features “the very first AI-created femme fatale in film history”! You can watch the trailer for Aimee: The Visitor in the embed above.

The film has the following synopsis: Scott Keyes is a brilliant but misanthropic computer hacker...

When you think of Full Moon Features, there’s one figurehead that most think of: Charles Band. As a filmmaker, Band’s creative journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. From pioneering B-movie independent film making to crafting a brand that remains relevant for over four decades, his impact on the industry is immeasurable. The Primevals stands as a heartfelt tribute to his late friend and collaborator, David Allen. With The Primevals, Band and David Allen have gifted us movie buffs with an unparalleled cinematic experience. The film’s completion and release were no small feat, as it spanned several decades of dedication and perseverance. We had a chance to chat with Mr. Band about The Primevals and the long journey of getting the film finished and out to the world.

I turned 50 just a few days before I met producer Charles Band. That’s not an age at which one expects to have conversations about films which started production before one was born and are just preparing to screen for the first time. The story behind The Primevals, showing as part of the 2023 Fantasia International Film Festival, is all about defying expectations. The film itself follows bold adventurers, driven by a passion for science, who travel the Himalayas in search of yeti and get more than they bargained for when they discover a hidden world. It features stop motion animation which is itself an artefact of another age. After decades trying to complete it, director and special effects maestro David Allen sadly died, but the production team were determined to find a way of making it happen. When I ask Charlie to explain a little about what.

Full Moon Features will world premiere The Primevals at Fantasia Film Festival – in a screening that represents the culmination of a longtime dream harboured by visual effects wizard David Allen, whose career stretched from 1970’s Equinox through Oscar-nominated work on Young Sherlock Holmes and beyond.

Allen first conceived The Primevals as a vehicle for his stop-motion talents in the 1970s. He finally began directing the movie, which he scripted with fellow effects artist Randy Cook (The Gate), in the 1990s under producer Charles Band, CEO and Founder of Full Moon Features, for whom he’d brought all manner of beasties to life in Laserblast, Puppet Master and many others. Sadly, the film’s completion was scuttled by Allen’s death from cancer in 1999 at just 54 years old.

Now, at last, Band and longtime Allen associate Chris Endicott have seen the film to completion, and it emerges as a glorious tribute...

The story of the Charles Band-produced sci-fi/fantasy film The Primevals dates all the way back to 1978, when director David Allen began production on a project he had spent many years trying to get off the ground. Long story short, financing fell through and the film was never finished, but Full Moon has been hard at work in recent years bringing it back to life.

45 years after production began, Full Moon has announced that The Primevals is Finally ready for consumption. And they’ve shared the official trailer for the long-awaited movie.
