Watch Voodoo Moon For Free

Absolutely brilliant

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I wasn't sure about Voodoo Moon at first, but after seeing it while less than perfect it wasn't bad and one of SyFy's more tolerable efforts. It looks decent with the effects not too cheap and the filming stylish on the most part. The acting is also better than average, especially from Charisma Carpenter and Jeffrey Combs, and the premise is great and helped in the film by a great opening sequence and a nice ending. The music also has its haunting parts, and doesn't interfere with the tone too much. On the other hand, while not as annoying and stereotypical as I have known SyFy characters to be the characters don't have much to them, if anything especially in the case of John Amos's character they were underdeveloped. The story does begin and end promisingly and has one good jump scare and a strong atmosphere, but the pace drags too often, apart from one scare the film is not very scary and the middle is too reminiscent of overlong exposition. There are worse scripts around, but generally it doesn't flow very naturally and nothing really stands out. Overall, not a bad movie and surprisingly tolerable by SyFy standards, but still lacking for me. 6/10 Bethany Cox

I'm a huge Charisma Carpenter fan. This said, I was disappointed by this movie. Her charm did not come through, in fact NONE of the actors seemed to be doing much acting in this movie. I think the best performances came from Rik Young who played the evil Daniel, and Jeffrey Combs who seemed to have fun playing a good zombie, although his performance was terrible until the point where his character died, then he became downright hilarious, in a probably not really trying to be funny kind of way, I'm not sure if I was laughing at his character or with the actor playing the character.The sad thing is, I've seen most of these actors/actresses do great jobs in other shows/films, I would have to blame the director on this flop.Generally poorly explained happenings, flat acting, and terrible special effects. But Charisma is still beautiful.

Voodoo Moon tells the tale of Cole (Eric Mabius) some sort of guy who has magical powers who is seeking Daniel (Rik Young) who happens to be the devil & made the town where Cole was born murder each other, or something like that. The whole town that is except Cole & his psychic sister Heather (Charisma Carpenter) who are now on a revenge mission to kill Daniel. To aid them in this task Cole psychically summons various people whom he has used his powers to save in some capacity & owe him a favour. Erm, eventually they all meet up & fight & that's about it.This Canadian American co-production was edited, written & directed by Kevin VanHook who also makes a cameo appearance as a 'Cemetery Gardener' & I thought it was pretty damned bad. The script is painfully slow, most of the film seems to take place in a large farmhouse where not much happens. The character's are also pretty poor, while two of the people Cole summons to help him are given stories shown in flashback none of the others are & they feel underdeveloped, inconsequential & pointless. Daniel the devil is given no motivation for anything, he doesn't seem to have any sort of plan & he dies too easily. Then there's the magical powers that some of the character's seem to have, I know Cole has magical Voodoo type abilities but it's very sketchy & why the hell does Frank Taggert (Jeffrey Combs) get his neck broken & then comes back to life? What? It's baffling & a bizarre story arc that seems at odds with the rest of the film. Why do all these events suddenly take place now? There seems to be no significant reason why everything takes place at the point in time that it does, none whatsoever. The action is lightweight & dull, there's barely any violence & gore plus it's a real chore to sit through.Director VanHook does OK although it's all rather forgettable, flat, bland & unexciting. There's no atmosphere or scares & a lot of the CGI effects are pretty bad. Forget about any blood or gore as there isn't any.With a supposed budget of about $2,000,000 one has to wonder where the money went, I'm sorry but this is a very bland forgettable film that doesn't distinguish itself in any area. The acting is of a suitably low standard & it's a shame to see a fine actor like Jeffrey Combs in crap low budget horror films like this & All Souls Day (2005).Voodoo Moon is rubbish, I'm sure no one sets out to make a bad film & I'm positive no one here did but lets call a spade a spade shall wee, it's crap. Definitely not recommended.

This movie had a lot going for it but with so many plot holes it was very easy to get lost. I mean for all their powers they let the enemy walk right into the house? That just doesn't make any sense to me. There were other plot holes and only two of the back stories were even talked about.I still don't get why the one friend who was dead kept walking around and they weren't trying to kill him. Still the cast was pretty good but had some weak points. With the right budget and consistent acting this could have been a good TV movie. It was a very original tale but with a poor script and some bad acting it lost something in the translation.
