Bad Moon Rising

About This Movie

Bad Moon Rising is one of those indie horror flicks that tries to mix classic monster lore with some modern twists. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it builds a chilling atmosphere, especially in the nighttime scenes. The practical effects, though not groundbreaking, have a certain charm that adds to the gritty feel of the film. The performances are decent, with Jeff's brother really selling the terror of the situation. The themes of family and survival against a primal force are present, but not overly deep. It's a curious little film that sort of lingers in your mind; you either appreciate its low-budget aesthetics or you don’t. Worth a watch for fans of werewolf lore, for sure.
