October Moon

This queer horror film is actually not that bad. That being said, were I to do a full review on “October Moon” – I’d probably rip it to shreds. With a dated, cliche, and slightly homophobic angle, the script isn’t horrendous. But I couldn’t remain interested in the storyline. Between an obviously closeted straight man, his domineering mother, and a couple on the verge of breaking up from scene one, there’s a lot of issues with this film. Unfortunately, the issues also carry over in the directing/editing and cinematographic areas. This film is really more of a queer thriller than a queer horror film. And perhaps the worst offence? – the horror “twist” is blatantly obvious right from the start. Overall, while it is one of the few queer horror films out there – I’d skip this one.
