Bloodmoon

Bloodmoon (1990)

Under the blood red moon, love and grisly murder collide

In the small town of Coopers Bay, there are two high schools situated right next to each other. There’s Winchester, an all boys comprehensive and St Elizabeth’s, a girl’s only Catholic faculty. They are separated by woodland where pupils from both can meet and engage the things that attract the attention of maniac killers. It’s not surprising then that an unseen one begins murdering the youngsters as they fornicate, strangling them with a length of barbed wire before removing their eyes and burying them under the soil. Mary, the daughter of a Hollywood movie actress, becomes involved when the killer targets her and Kevin, her boyfriend. But who is this twisted psychopath and why does he want to kill all the kids?

Bloodmoon is a 1990 Australian slasher film directed by Alec Mills and starring Leon Lissek, Christine Amor, Ian Williams, Helen Thomson, and Craig Cronin. The title refers to the Hunter's moon, the first full moon after the Harvest Moon.

Production

The film was shot on the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and the Warner-Roadshow Studios. Many of the school shots are from the grounds at Marist College Ashgrove, and the dance scene was filmed at Mount Saint Michaels, with local students used as extras.

The title song Bloodmoon was set to music by Brian May, with lyrics by Hunt Downs, and sung by Vice.

The film was one of three low budget films produced as part of Village Roadshow’s 'The Silver Series', which also included thriller Dead Sleep (starring American actress, Linda Blair) and action film Hurricane Smith. The Silver Series reflected a departure from stereotypical Australian films of the past.
