Not What I Expected & Pleasantly Surprised!,
By Sheila Chilcote-Collins "Sheila Renee Chilcot... (Collinswood, Van Wert, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Blood Moon (DVD)
I bought this movie "blind", just because it had the great Tim Curry in it. I was expecting another werewolf film in the style of American Werewolf In London/Paris, Wolfen, Howling etc., but what I got was a nice, little surprise! Tim Curry, is of course, excellent as always but there are some really nice performances by the whole cast. The freak show participants and their marvelous acts/dances/songs/tricks are mesmerizing to watch. Even Tim Curry sings a song along with the he/she character played by Grace Jones. The mother from "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" plays the "fat lady" and there is, of course, the geek, the sword-swallower, the fire eater, the impaler, midgets, contortionists and LOTS MORE! The story, however, centers around the "wolf girl", Tara. Tara has trichno-something or other which causes hair to grow all over her body. She starts taking an experimental drug to become "normal" and that's when the bloodshed starts. There are some really great scenes in this movie plus a couple of REALLY DOOZY SURPRISES!!! If you liked the film, Freaks, like the TV show Ripley's Believe It Or Not, or just love and adore Tim Curry, you will enjoy this odd and strange movie! Happy Watching!

A little gem of a movie,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blood Moon (DVD)
Despite its hokey title, this is a great little werewolf movie which has such a twist to it, it can hardly be called a werewolf movie at all. Tim Curry (at his droll, subtle best) plays the ringmaster of a traveling freak show. One of his star attractions, the "wolf girl" (actually just a normal girl with a rare condition called hypertrichosis which causes excessive hair growth), is harassed by a quartet of teenage meanies, but in one of the movie's surprising revelations, the two head meanies turn out to have "freak" problems of their own. The wolf girl longs to look normal and is befriended by a young teen outcast who offers to treat her disease with a drug concocted by his researcher mother (the wonderful Lesley Anne Warren, whose talents are sadly wasted in this minor, boring role); however, the more "normal" the wolf girl gets, the more wolfish her behavior becomes. Why? Well, the movie doesn't bother explaining that, but if you can ignore this little leap in logic, you will enjoy this quirky, creepy film. The acting is good, the dialogue is solid, and the plot doesn't slow down enough for you to lose interest. Perhaps the best thing about the movie is the freak show itself. Far from merely parading the "freaks" (including Darlene Cates, from "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", and Grace Jones) across the stage for people to gawk at, the characters perform a number of highly entertaining musical numbers for their audience, humanizing them rather than degrading them. Sure, the movie's message--that what makes a "freak" is all about how you see yourself instead of how others see you--is transparent and trite, but heck, what movie's isn't these days? Just sit back and enjoy this fine little gem of a movie.

Eh....,
By
This review is from: Blood Moon (DVD)
The only saving grace for this film was Tim Curry playing the perfect ringmaster of a sideshow. One of the sideshow freaks is the wolf girl, who's really just a young woman covered with hair...she puts in fake fangs and claws and growls a lot for her act. Four ne'er-do-well heckel her and the rest of the sideshow during it's stay. Meanwhile, a young outcast pities the wolf-girl and gives her a serum his scientist mother made that may make her normal. As she continues to use the "medicine," though, we find that it has a reverse effect: the more human she appears, the more animal she becomes.That sounds interesting, but it could've been done better...maybe without using full frontal (doctored?) male nudity? Plus, I like my werewolf movies to have werewolves. The cover is VERY misleading, there is no large beast in this film. The only beasts are the heckling teenagers.
