A Total Eclipse of the Moon

About This Movie

A Total Eclipse of the Moon is one of those films that dances on the edge of softcore and artful exploration. The pacing is deliberate, giving those college sorority sisters time to navigate their desires against a backdrop of atmospheric tension. It’s intriguing how the film explores themes of friendship and self-discovery through its rather risqué premise. The performances seem to balance between earnestness and playful experimentation, creating a unique tone that holds the viewer’s attention—if only for the audacity of the narrative. Practical effects might not be the highlight, but the overall aesthetic definitely reflects the late '80s vibe, complete with a certain rawness that’s hard to find in today's productions.

This film has a certain rarity in collector circles, as it seems to have escaped the mainstream archives. Finding it on VHS or lesser-known formats can be a challenge, which adds to its allure. There’s definitely a niche interest in the late '80s experimental cinema, and this title fits snugly within that category, often sparking conversations among collectors who appreciate its audacious themes and period aesthetic.
