The main character cant tell the difference between a dummy that doesn’t even have legs (so essentially a torso on a stick!) and a killer in her room, she was too dumb to live, she should have taken a Darwin award and rolled credits.
Didn't even find it entertainingly bad, it’s just bad. I don't understand why someone would watch this over something like Bay of Blood. | With 'Bloody Moon', I always find it's a bit dependent on how you approach it - as a slasher film it probably doesn't amount to much, but as a Jess Franco movie, even though it's not really very typical of his output, it's more alluring, teeming with strangeness. I find myself revisiting it every now and then - play it side by side with one of the supposed exemplars of the slasher heyday (ie something like 'The Burning') and IMO the latter will seem straight and a bit lame by comparison.
