Watch The Burning Moon For Free

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

"The Burning Moon" is a German film from 1992 and first of all it needs to be said that the runtime here on IMDb is not correct at 86 minutes because this one goes on for another roughly 10 minutes, so makes it past the 90 minute mark. The writer and director is Olaf Ittenbach (his second film and he was still in his 20s when he made it), one of the most known German horror filmmakers, especially when it comes to gore. The reason for this may not be his talent with horror, but probably his talent with comedy. His works usually put a smile on your lips occasionally because of how absurd and very much over the top they are and this one here is no exception. And lets be honest, it is a bit of an achievement if somebody makes a film like this and I as an audience member do not feel for the characters brutally slaughtered in here, but instead hope there will be as much blood as possible.So from that perspective, this film was a success I guess. But then there is also the component of the plot and story-telling and this is where this movie here disappoints about as much as most other of these very graphic horror films from the likes of Ittenbach. In the first half, there is still a bit of a story and that's also why I easily preferred the first 45 minutes. A woman has a blind date, but runs into a lunatic mass murderer afterward who keeps killing everybody that crosses his path. Can she make it out alive? Watch for yourself. And maybe switch off afterward as the second 45 minutes after a clean break is about a completely different story, so you can maybe say it is two films in one. All in all, I cannot say this was good enough to let me recommend it, maybe if it had stayed as good as the first half. Watch something else instead.

Germany, it still will be a weird country. Most of the movies coming from there are the real gory splatter ones. Weird, because the German authorities doesn't allow those kind of movies. Bethmann and Ittenbach are the best know directors of the genre with Bethmann having his own label, X Rated Kult. Do I need to say more. This movie belongs to Ittenbach's first attempts in the genre. Still unavailable on DVD it conquered the earth on VHS, but still some versions were only 88 minutes long. My copy was uncut, so 99 minutes long. The flick is about a guy who has to babysit his little sister. Fed up with his parents and the situation, he's in his puberty, he tells his sister some horror stories. The stories itself those are the one we see in the movie. Two stories it is, the first one not that original, and not that gory too, some stupid effects, watch out for the collision with a car and a person! But the second story is the best, and there you will find the gore. like Premutos it's full of entrails and torture. This is for the geeks out there, one of Ittenbach better ones.

yes it has been a while since I have seen the movie but I do remember it for the most part. I am a horror movie junkie and have seen my fair share. This movie has bad acting yes, some cheesy gore effects yes, but I found it to be a decent flick. The scene at the end it worth the money alone. It was very very good even with todays computer effects and such. Not really much of a plot at all in the movie but sometimes I am just in a mood to se some good gore. Not the best review but I think I should at least add a better comment than the ones I have seen. This movie is not really that bad, go rent it for yourself and don't listen to what others have to say (even me).

I saw this movie in german minus subtitles so i cant tell the nuances of the plot(LOL)but i quite enjoyed this little gorefest,probably cause i dig German underground horror.There are three stories,they all contain extreme gore,its quite imaginative(esp the hell sequence)and well done for a homemade effort.Recommended for fans of Nekromantik and the like.
