    Great atmosphere and sense of period

    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.

    A lycanthropic western!

    This is a fairly convincing, wittily written werewolf western. No spoiler there - the revelation is all over the packaging. Great fun, and the werewolves are pretty impressive too - wisely built up throughout the film and kept in shadow much of the time.

    At least some of the actors are not American, but sporting American accents as befits the location. I had a hard time trying to work out who was a native American and who was not, so convincing were the accents to my UK ears.

    The finale is anti-climactic; I was hoping for rather more than we got. Overall, though, I had a great time with this. The locations and cinematography seemed very accurate and suitably creepy and there were really strong performances across the board. My score is 7 out of 10.

    Don't expect more than it meant to be

    This is supposed to be a B movie, werewolf, Western made in the UK. It's obviously tongue in cheek and all these British folk are having fun doing a Western. They can barely keep the twinkle eyes from it all. Knowing that makes it that much better. You can be in on the fun or grouse because it's not Jason or Michael. Get your popcorn and blanket, dim the lights and have fun with them.

    Outstanding Indie Effort!

    I don't know any of the players or production crew (except Corey Johnson and Anna Skellern, a bit) , but this film SHINES! Oh, yes, it is definitely worth your time!

    The dialogue is excellent, the story moves, the players are all topnotch and the cinematography is worthy of a Hollywood production. I've seen big budget flops that couldn't patch this effort.

    Shaun Dooley (Calhoun) sparks memories of Ben Johnson - he plays the cool hand very well with minimal cheese. Corey Johnson and Raffaello Degruttola (the Norton brothers) put just enough "yuck" into the bad guys. Eleanor Matsuura (Black Deer) and Amber Jean Rowan (Sarah Norman) play convincing female roles, while George Blagden (Jake Norman) and Jack Fox (Wade) play lawmen you will believe. But best - and worst - is Anna Skellern's portrayal of Marie: best because she is so beautiful and hot as an old time saloon matron and worst because... well, spoiler. Just watch.

    Oh, and I believe the creature is a windigo. One of my favorite North American monsters!!!

    Surprising

    151005: For a low budget film; a surprisingly good film. There's not many glaring holes in the special effects because they keep them so well hidden through the use of lighting, movement and angles (see extra features). Some decent acting from this group, Shaun Dooley (Calhoon) being the weakest in my opinion. Other than that annoying pistol Calhoon carried, happy with this lost cost, low budget western. Can't say that for most I end up buying. As an added bonus, it even had me jumping at times (turn the volume up).
