Children of the Full Moon

About This Movie

Children of the Full Moon is a curious piece from 1980 that teeters on the line between eerie and unsettling. It starts off with this married couple, lost in the woods, which already sets a nice, claustrophobic tone. Then they stumble upon this mansion—creepy, for sure, but more so when you meet the inhabitants. An overly-kind old woman masks a sinister underbelly, and the wolf children? They bring a raw, primal fear that lingers. The pacing keeps you on edge, weaving between moments of tension and the slow reveal of the plot's darkness. The practical effects, though not expansive, do their job in adding a layer of authenticity to the horror. It’s an interesting study in atmosphere and the familial themes that twist into a nightmare.
