Super gore!

Alas, this is going to be a bloody day on Screaming Streaming. Because we head back to dependable Germany, where gore is fact of life and you pour blood directly onto your breakfast cereal.

Presenting Olaf Ittenbach's THE BURNING MOON.

                                         

Here it is with subtitles.

I was not kidding when I said this movie was gory. That is a serious understatement. This ranks right up there close behind Braindead and Das Komabrutale Duell. It's super badass in the grue department.

So in this flick Olaf himself plays a mullet-headed delinquent teenager who shoots up before giving his little sister two bedtime stories. The first is "Julia's Love" and concerns a serial killer that stalks a woman. While the second, "The Purity" follows an evil priest that allows a groundskeeper to take the fall over the girls he is killing. In the end, he gets his. And how! Seriously, the last minutes of this story is a prolonged Hell sequence in which the viewer is assaulted with a barrage of carnage. People getting ripped apart and separated in every possible way.

This cannot be stated enough. This movie is heavy on the gore. And in a very satisfying way. In that it never becomes a bore or a chore like it does in films like MURDER SET PIECES. It still tells a decent story and the outrageous nature of the violence is so extreme that you will not be disappointed. 

I remember seeing the trailer for this one on an old VHS copy of another sicko movie that may get reviewed in the near future but I remember thinking that the trailer and the obnoxious voiceover claiming it to be the goriest movie ever to be pretty hokey. In trailers and even this review, it's impossible to really show you too much and because of that, I didn't buy into that trailer. It looked stupid. But I was wrong. This is a great gore film and my personal favorite film from Ittenbach.
