Review of The Burning Moon (1992) by Courtney C — 26 Apr 2011

Loved this movie. The version I got thankfully had english subtitles. The gore and killings were far out. The movie is about this troubled teen who is in a "gang" and is a drug addict. He goes home to be told to stay and watch his younger sister. He is not happy about this. His parents leave and he goes to shoot up. He then decides since he is babysitting he should tell his little sister some bedtime stories.

The first story is called Julia's Love. The woman Julia goes out on a blind date with a man named Brian Connor. When actually Brian Connor is Cliff Parker, an ecsaped murdered. They have dinner and he is going to take her home. They get in the car but he leaves to go get smokes, leaving her to listen to the radio. She hears the news story of the escaped killer. The description matches him and so does the car + tag number!! She panics and runs to the nearest car and goes home. When she gets there she goes straight to her room ( I would be telling my parents asap and calling the police) then she realizes she lost her wallet in the car! Now he knows where she lives. She decides to tell her parents. When she goes fownstairs she finds her family slaughtered! Blood and body parts seriously everywhere!! He shows himself and she runs upstairs into the bathroom where her sister has been stabbed and set on fire. She ends up living and the killer dies. This story is so twisted and gory it is a for sure hand squeezer!!!

The brother (Peter) goes on to tell his sister the last story. The Purity. That story is about a messed up priest who goes around raping and killing woman. He thinks it makes him pure and its a way into heaven. Woman are being murdered and the town is blaming it on ths young farmer who seems sincerly nice and doesn't want to be involved. The town blames him. The priest talks with the farmer and assures him that if anyone cause him fatal harm that they would be sentenced to a tortuous death in HELL. Well the town folk hire a hitman to do the work for them. He goes and murders the poor man. And sure as shit he gets sent to hell. The hell is so graphic and scary! The hitman is tortured beyond an average torture session. His eye gets drilled out, teeth get drilled, all sorts of metal objects thrust into his stomach. And the final act of having being split open from his legs being pulled so far apart.

After the story is done the ending is so far twisted I was not expecting that at all.

Loved this movie! If you can stand subtitles, this graphic gorefest is for you!!!
