Summer's Moon

somewhat slow....
The movie starts off very slow. There isn't alot of tension or edge of your seat moments. There is not alot of gore or violence. Summer is looking for her father and ends up meeting a boy who she hooks up with and ends up spending the night with him. Things appear normal until his mother is outside his door listening to him fornicate with Summer. The "creepiness" the boy possesses is his love for gardening; however, it never really explains why he must have garden angels. It explains his reasoning for his garden but not the angels. The mother and son seem to have a "thing" going on between them (yes, they kissed). The father is more sadistic than the son and simply kills women for amusement. The twist was predictable since the film didn't focus on other characters. I did find the end rather amusing and ended up giggling since it had a somewhat happy ending.

flawed, extremely confusing... but improves by the end
Summer's Moon is a pretty strange movie. For one thing it's certainly not a horror. For 90% of the time, it's not really a suspense either. The storyline is a confusing mess beginning halfway through and never really making sense to me after this. Despite these flaws, it has a few surprisingly good moments so I'm sort of in between whether it's worth recommending or not.

The flaws are pretty obvious. For one thing, the character of Ashley Greene -attractive as she may be- presents herself as a hitchhiker that doesn't like perverts demanding sexual favors, but certainly desires lots of sleazy overnight sex with complete strangers. This means when she's eventually kidnapped, it's hard to sympathize with her character because of the kind of girl she is. It turns out the young man she's sleeping with secretly kidnaps women, takes them to his basement and ties them up so they can't see the light of day. So far pretty compelling (despite the low budget Ghost...

Ashley Greene rocks!
This is an awesome Horror movie. I loved it. It was great to see Ashley in something other than a Twilight movie.
