Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Woodyanders A strung-out heroin addict delinquent jerk (played to the obnoxious hilt by writer/director Olaf Ittenbach) tells his little sister two twisted tales of terror: The first concerns on an escaped serial killer (handsome Bernd Muggenthaler) who embarks on a murderous spree while the second and stronger yarn centers on the vile atrocities committed by a depraved and deranged priest (a creepy portrayal by Rudolf Hob).Ittenbach treats the bleak stories with admirable seriousness and maintains a suitably grim tone throughout. Moreover, Ittenbach delivers the gloriously excessive in-your-face over-the-top gore by the gleefully appalling bucketful which runs the gruesome gamut from decapitations to disembowelment to a guy tied down on a table who gets cut and torn up into itty bitty messy pieces. Alas, said splatter in the first story proves to be so cheap, cheesy, and unconvincing that it comes across as silly and laughable instead of gross and disturbing, but fortunately the grisly make-up f/x are done with more skill and polish in the second segment. Moreover, the first anecdote sizes up as a strictly passable slasher outing. However, the second vignette rates as an altogether darker, nastier, and overall blasphemous affair complete with rape, blood drinking, savage beatings, and an incredibly intense and nightmarish climatic descent into hell that goes right for the jugular. Recommended viewing for fans of savage and unapologetic take-no-prisoners fright fare.

evilkingnightmare This movie is a tough mama to find. I finally have it! I saw the trailer in the Traces Of Death III video. When I first saw the trailer I got so curious that I wanted to see this movie. I never found this movie online. The only place I found it was on ebay for more 80 bucks. And I said, 'no way I'm spending 80 dollars just to own this VHS movie rare to find.' Anyway. About a year ago I was in a flea market, somewhere in Mexico. So I saw this guy selling original DVDs for 5 dollars. For my surprise I found The Burning Moon on the section where they have all the 5 dollar movies. I was like, WOA!!!! Hellyeah! On DVD! ORIGINAL! No pirated DVD. 100% ORIGINAL! I was happy to find and I bought it. I'm curious. Where did this guy found or how in the hell was he able to sell a hard to find movie for only 5 bucks! The town that I visited was Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. On the border of El Paso, Texas. Thats where I found the movie. I'm from Laredo, Texas. This movie is to gory for my surprise. A mad priest raping a young girl and then kills her, a criminally insane killer on the loose murdering people, a torturer torturing a guy with drilling his teeth and taking out his guts and then rips him in half! Oh MAN!!! This movie is insane and I loved it! I don't know why is so underground and hard to find this film. Anyway, if you can get your hands on this film, don't sell this film. This is a cult and a collectors film. Nice work Olaf!

BA_Harrison An early ultra-splatter effort from German gore-fiend Olaf Ittenbach, The Burning Moon is very low-budget, shot-on-video, extremely violent, and, therefore, not likely to appeal to a mainstream audience. However, if you're a fan of underground horror, and love blood 'n' guts to be splashed all over the screen, then this is one to add to your 'must-see' list.The film starts rather slowly, following a teenage oik as he wastes his day attending an interview for a job (that he has no intention of doing), and taking part in a gang fight. At the end of his 'busy' day, he comes home, shoots up with heroin, and settles down to read his little sister a couple of bed-time stories that only a violent junkie would consider suitable.So far, so 'ho-hum'. But then things start to get good.Story number one is 'Julia's Love', in which a young woman unknowingly falls for an escaped homicidal lunatic. When she hears a news report about the maniac on the radio (whilst sat in a car, waiting for her new boyfriend), she realises the awful truth and runs away. Unfortunately, she has left her purse in the car, and it contains her address...'Julia's Love' has a no-nonsense plot which means that Ittenbach can cut to the chase, and get on with delivering maximum nastiness ASAP. The psycho's escape at the beginning of the tale is fairly bloody, but pales in comparison to the gory delights towards the end, when he tracks down his girl and slaughters her family: heads roll, fingers and limbs are chopped off, bodies are burnt, and blood gushes. Great fun!The second tale, 'The Purity', manages to push the depravity even further, starting as it means to go on with the rape and murder of a girl.... by a vicar! It transpires that the bible-thumping pillar of society is actually a secret Satanist, who enjoys the odd spot of killing in-between sermons. The locals are understandably annoyed by the fact that their population is rapidly dwindling, and decide on a spot of vigilantism; unfortunately, they blame the wrong person—a simple farmhand. At this point the plot becomes slightly muddled, as the vicar commits suicide, the angry rabble pay to have the farmhand murdered, and the hired killer is given a personal tour of hell.However, with absolutely tons of impressive effects and OTT violence packed into this segment, one can easily forgive the fact that the narrative goes a little awry. Ittenbach and his crew ladle on the grue, delivering some very nasty deaths, which include several shootings, a pitchfork attack, a throat slashing, a prolonged sequence in which the damned are seen tearing each other apart, and a show-stopping moment when a man is ripped completely in half.By the time junkie-boy has finished his terrifying tales, his sister is dead to the world. And I mean that quite literally—her scag-head brother has stabbed her in the chest! Realising what he has done, he takes a knife to his wrist. And nobody lives happily ever after. The End.

Zombie79 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.
