So, 'Ask the Moon' is this gritty crime drama from '88 that really dives into a tense cat-and-mouse dynamic. You’ve got Josie, a bank teller who ends up kidnapped by this unstable guy, Angelito. The pacing is pretty deliberate, which adds to the atmosphere of dread. What’s interesting is how Josie claims she faked affection to survive, yet her story gets murkier as Angelito spins his own version. The performances, especially from the leads, have a rawness that pulls you in. There's this underlying tension that lingers in every scene, and the practical effects, while not over the top, really ground the experience in a harsh reality. It’s not a typical thriller, more like a psychological exploration of fear and manipulation.
