Luna di sangue

This quite cheaply produced inheritance thriller delivers a hardly exciting Giallo plot, rather weak actors and far too much dialogue that doesn't really push the plot forward. The only thing that makes this film about dark plans of a ruthless killer to drive a wealthy young woman without any relatives crazy (to inherit her money, of course) extraordinary is the handful of gore effects: They are quite nasty and don't fit at all into the rest of the picture. Except for these FX, this film makes the impression of a boring sub-par thriller made for cable. All in all this movie hasn't really got anything remarkable in it and is quickly forgotten: 3 out of 10.

By the way: This is one of the five films legendary director Lucio Fulci supervised in 1989 to re-use some of the gory bits for his 1990 splatterfest "Nightmare Concert". The other four are the remarkable "The Snake House" (aka "Bloody Psycho"), the interesting but overtly cheaply made "Non Si Seviziano i Bambini" (aka "Hänsel e Gretel"), the sometimes gross "Non Avere Paura della Zia Marta" and sleazeball Andrea Bianchi's "Massacre" that is as tedious as "Luna di Sangue".

"Luna di Sangue" is a routine and extremely dull late 80's Italian giallo which was once again produced by Lucio Fulci.A woman(Barbara Blasko)who is the sole heir to a vast fortune is to be driven insane so others can get their hands on her wealth.I have to agree with the previous reviewer from Switzerland."Luna di Sangue" is extremely boring and relentlessly talky thriller.There are three or four gore scenes in the film including fairly nasty decapitation by scythe,which was later shown in Fulci's "Cat in a Brain".Enzo Milioni's giallo "The Sister of Ursula" at least wallowed in graphic sleaze with its dildo killer."Luna di Sangue" despite its cult Italian cast(Zora Kerova,Annie Belle)is too dull to be enjoyable.A generous 5 out of 10.
