The Amityville Moon

The Amityville Moon has little to do with the Amityville series except for possibly taking place in that town though we don't see the house or anything nor are there any cursed/haunted objects from it. It's about a halfway house for ex-drug addict junkies with a werewolf stalking and killing them. Much of the film is about these former needle-freaks and seeing as I don't understand addiction nor do I have any empathy these parts fell flat on me. Some nudity or lesbian shenanigans would have livened the movie up. Apparently this is made by some religious nut who is okay with mild swearing but has his tough biker guys say "freakin" and "screw". The acting is intensely mediocre especially that of the main girl. The whole film is shot in a drab and colorless way. There's some bloody werewolf attacks including a woman who has her face clawed off. The werewolf transformation scene is pretty good though nowhere near Baker/Bottin level but at least it was all practical FX. The werewolf suit is pretty good as well though shown sparingly. The sadly too brief werewolf scenes save this from being completely dull. Another very mediocre Walmart horror to add to the pile.

I'm a huge fan of werewolf movies and if they have a low budget then I honestly don't mind how bad the effects are. The werewolf in this was actually ok but the film was so dark that you could barely see anything.

The story really let this down and it dragged until I couldn't care less what happened to any of the characters.

Not one to recommend I'm afraid and best avoided.

If you haven't seen it then Late Phases is a way better werewolf movies.

At a halfway house in Amityville, NY something is amiss. (Although the setting might as well be Australia for all this movie has to do with The Amityville Horror.) When two detainees are reported missing a cop and an escapee of the facility team up to unravel the mystery. That's a decent enough premise and this movie could have been entertaining despite the obviously low budget, amateur performances and Party City werewolf costume. Unfortunately the central premise only takes up about a quarter of the runtime; the rest is extraneous filler that quickly grows tiresome. There are also several major plot holes that are addressed but never resolved - just acknowledging that things don't make sense doesn't actually correct the problem.

Decently promising film sadly made into garbage due to the acting which clearly would be the director (casting departments) fault. I mean we're all these people extras who never had attended one class? To be fare this write/director seems to only do E for Effort films. If the people involved aren't students trying to learn then wow. To have money must be nice just to waste it like this.

Overall only what if you are a glutton for torture and have mental issues preventing you from not finding and watching worst than student quality films. The only decent actor was the priest (with the beard).....

I'm not sure why all the hate on this one. Yes, it's clearly a B-Rate / C-Rate movie, the acting is not great by any means, and the lighting is pretty dim but for what it is, it's pretty good. They took care, on a very small budget mind you, with limited special effects and put their effort into making a decent werewolf costume and transformation. For a B-Rate, it's a pretty good attempt I'd say. I think for what it is, they did a really good job at working with what they had. Know what it is when you go into it. It's a B movie made for the love of werewolf movies! For those folks like me who hunt for werewolf movies, I thought this was one of the better B attempts out there as far as script, special effects, and choreography were concerned. Solid effort!
