Bloodmoon is a 1990 Australian slasher film.
It was shot on the Gold Coast.[2]
The film was released with a "fright break" towards the end where the audience had a chance to walk out and claim a refund.[3]
AllMovie called it a "silly Australian slasher film".[4] Jim Schembri wrote in Cinema Papers that:
It is an unspeakably funny film, but in the saddest possible way. It is a film promoted as a horror film, and it is for anyone with any faith left in Australian mainstream film... For a film as awful, as cliche ridden, as derivative as unimaginative and as poorly made as Bloodmoon to be made in Australia in 1990 is a cause of national mourning.[3]
