Bloody Moon (aka Die Säge des Todes)

D: Jess Franco

This film is so stupid and ridiculous it doesnt surprise me that it is from franco, while franco (who has also here a cameo, this time without his beard) sometimes if he wants can also shoot decent films like "Female Vampire" (although thats rare) this garbage called "film" surely doesnt count to his better examples.It is ultra boring, makes you feel that the friday the 13th films are golden compared with this wannabe slasher (and that means something!). well, i wouldn´t complain if lina romay is here shown in "action" but she doesn´t star here. the film starts totally "great" with a man with a disfigured face looking from a bush some stupid party people, he wants to "join" them , steals a mickey mouse mask(!) to hide his identity and goes with a girl to a room for ...when it comes then to the final moment, the girl takes the mask and start to scream, the psycho doesnt like this much and stabs her then few times with a pair of scissors. then the credit start:"Die säge des todes", wow, what a shit, then we see some idiot people in a kind of language school talking about this and that, to say it short this scenes are totally uninteresting. between this garbage the killer strikes even sometimes "back" and kills even quite inventfull in one scene where he has a girl captured and want to saw her head with a big mechanic saw for wood or whatever, a lil kid wants to help her but without luck, and the woman loses indeed her head, a bloody wanna be gory scene, that was made laughable cheap. other killings arent even worth to mention. "die säge des todes" shot in germanic language is probably even shittier when you understand german, cause then you really note the "wondefull" dialogues and the acting skills of this crash test dummies called humans. this is nothing else than wasted time, and i wouldnt recommend this film not even the worst austrian politican, well or perhaps i would!
