In a county famed for its glorious moorland, where better to stage a werewolf movie. The Moors hits the mark in every way, slick soundtrack that builds the tension, a local cast with accents to match, superb practical effects and a storyline at the heart of every community. It has humour, tension and gore in abundance which made me jump on several occasions. It's hard to believe so much is squeezed into a short movie but the fast pace helps carry the story to a thrilling conclusion , making you wish the film was longer, though the end credit scene is a welcomed finale. The cast and crew deserve heaps of praise in delivering this on such a small budget, I'm sure it'll be a huge success.
This is a deliciously entertaining folk-horror, and an ode to the creepiness of the desolate Yorkshire Moors.
There's some stomach-churning practical VFX work which I was really impressed by, along with some great sickening sound design and an ominous score to bolster all the kills-of which there are many...
Atmospheric and unsettling, the film though never forgets to throw in a few laughs along the way that had me chuckling. I found the direction to be solid, with some really compelling uses of twisting 'Dutch angles' and 'overhead' shots-which were very unique.
I particularly enjoyed the films 'reverse'-structure and a great nighttime sequence in the middle involving two joiners; great natural chemistry from actors Danny Cunningham and Sebastian Storey.
A fun indie horror, with mixes of 'Dog Soldiers' and 'An American Werewolf in London'. I'd love to see what this director could do with a bigger budget!

To get straight to the point instead of spoiling the film.
This gets more done in its short runtime than most films do at full length.
It is so nice these days to be able to put something on that's bite-sized that doesn't waste your time and entertains, which the moors manages to do and it does it so well
Amazing practical effects coupled with some excellent cinematography and sound, the moors is the perfect example of a good old fashioned, straight to the point horror film.
Everyone who is involved should take a bow as you made this very hard to please horror fan smile.
Sorry for the punny title of the review 😆

The feeling of walking on the moors during a full moon, with that eerie mist rising a few inches off the ground across to one of the filming locations in The Moors sent a bit of a shiver down my spine watching this.
A couple of the characters "nope" moments is about as real as it gets!
The drone shots, camera work, special effects, characters and story (sure there's more to it than just 'story' from Adams side) were well thought out, with enough there to invest in the various characters.
A couple of great homages to other movies in there, knowing Adams genuine love for the movies, giving them a nod shows his real passion in The Moors.
Fans of horror, drama, writing, special effects and directing need to see this and take inspiration. Can't wait for his next project.

Great to see the Yorkshire Moors in a horror film people don't appreciated the beauty we're surrounded by unlike the werewolf in this fun filled horror short.
The message is clear do not flytip on the moors it seems to be bad for your health. Really liked this film even though it was like 30 mins it packed a punch.
The build up of tension was good and the flashback to the night before to show us what happened was a great way to get the audience invested. My only problem with this film was you don't see alot of the wolf at first which I guess the director had their reasons also wish it was a feature film and not so short.
