If this was a feature film then it would be an amazing sequel to American Werewolf in London. It invokes the fear and mood of that film... and this time it's shot genuinely on the Yorkshire Moors. Thankfully we don't see too much of that there werewolf - which means thankfully - we are not assaulted by CGI that will date the film (go look at the Twilight werewolves and you will see how bad it is) The filmmakers decided to use real creatures and real blood in real locations shot genuinely at night - and this is the winning combination. I really hope a UK funding body can see this and give them some money to make a full length werewolf film.
Great to see the Yorkshire Moors in a horror film people don't appreciated the beauty we're surrounded by unlike the werewolf in this fun filled horror short.
The message is clear do not flytip on the moors it seems to be bad for your health. Really liked this film even though it was like 30 mins it packed a punch.
The build up of tension was good and the flashback to the night before to show us what happened was a great way to get the audience invested. My only problem with this film was you don't see alot of the wolf at first which I guess the director had their reasons also wish it was a feature film and not so short.

The acting was well done and I liked the cinematography but from a writing point of view I think the film could've benefited from a main character, although it's hard to achieve more complexity in a short runtime. The effects for the creature and bodyparts weren't brilliant but the blood effects were pretty good. The shot composition and tension kept me engaged throughout. My only other complaint would be that the creature was shown too often (especially when it's low budget effects, your imagination can go a long way). The end credits scene was fun. I'd like to see what the director could do with a more complex story and a higher budget. All in all you can tell everyone had fun making it, it's certainly entertaining and well worth a watch.
I heard about this film as I live in the next village to where it is set and filmed and heard about it from local chat.
The film although short at only 30 minutes long is 30 minutes of tension and horror. The location is perfect for a film of this genre and the drone footage at the beginning shows the area in all its creepy beauty and sets the mood perfectly.
Although clearly a "low budget" film, it doesn't feel it. I have watched many many films over the years of this type and found them to be a mixed bag and often forgettable but The Moors is not that and I will certainly watch it again. I will also look out for anything else from this director.

This is a deliciously entertaining folk-horror, and an ode to the creepiness of the desolate Yorkshire Moors.
There's some stomach-churning practical VFX work which I was really impressed by, along with some great sickening sound design and an ominous score to bolster all the kills-of which there are many...
Atmospheric and unsettling, the film though never forgets to throw in a few laughs along the way that had me chuckling. I found the direction to be solid, with some really compelling uses of twisting 'Dutch angles' and 'overhead' shots-which were very unique.
I particularly enjoyed the films 'reverse'-structure and a great nighttime sequence in the middle involving two joiners; great natural chemistry from actors Danny Cunningham and Sebastian Storey.
A fun indie horror, with mixes of 'Dog Soldiers' and 'An American Werewolf in London'. I'd love to see what this director could do with a bigger budget!
