BloodTheTelepathicDog I rented this movie because it has Jeffrey Combs, in an all too bizarre role, and did not even think to glance at who the director for this feature was. When I saw the name Kevin Van Hook, I immediately regretted this rent. His film Frost is quite possibly the worst movie ever made. However, while Frost was utterly terrible, Voodoo Moon is just terrible.Van Hook's comic book background shows in this film which could have benefited from being a mini-series, but who would view a mini-series from an unknown director? My reasoning behind the mini-series idea is that Van Hook has interesting ideas and characters but fails to flesh them out. A perfect example of this is when Mabius seeks refuge at a farmhouse and a handful of new characters are introduced. Van Hook doesn't even give us a vague background on the majority of these new characters as you certainly won't care about them.Maybe Van Hook should stick to comic books were he can produce issue after issue and give us the characterization that he fails to deliver in this film.VIOLENCE: $$$ (Nothing too graphic but there are a handful of murders and Mabius uses magic occasionally to subdue his adversaries while he isn't lying in bed gathering his strength... which he does often).NUDITY: $$ (Your typical no account "actress" bares herself as she is tied down to a cross in a church. This scene has substance but the nudity was not needed to make the scene work).STORY: $$ (Like I said, Van Hook tries to do too much here, introducing characters with no background, utilizing boring monologues between fight scenes and creating bizarre and downright insipid characters, like Jeffrey Combs' and Dee Wallace's character. Two amazing actors whose talents are wasted).ACTING: $$ (Quite wooden! I imagine this film will appeal most to folks who adored Charisma Carpenter's Buffy role and fans of Eric Mabius. However, the two leads have no chemistry and are out shined by Rik Young's villainous role. John Amos is adequate as a tough guy biker but much like every character in this film, his role was one-dimensional.

bikepoloplayer I'm a huge Charisma Carpenter fan. This said, I was disappointed by this movie. Her charm did not come through, in fact NONE of the actors seemed to be doing much acting in this movie. I think the best performances came from Rik Young who played the evil Daniel, and Jeffrey Combs who seemed to have fun playing a good zombie, although his performance was terrible until the point where his character died, then he became downright hilarious, in a probably not really trying to be funny kind of way, I'm not sure if I was laughing at his character or with the actor playing the character.The sad thing is, I've seen most of these actors/actresses do great jobs in other shows/films, I would have to blame the director on this flop.Generally poorly explained happenings, flat acting, and terrible special effects. But Charisma is still beautiful.

danthewrestlingmanorigin Yet another ambitious film from Kevin Van Hook. The Cast is very talented, the production values are top notch, and yet it still falls into the average category. One main gripe I had, was the film had all these interesting characters', but you barely knew who they were, and what they are about. I wanted to see more about John Amos's character for example. He was a member of a vicious biker gang, and now he's a warrior in the battle of good vs evil. Beyond that, nothing is really developed. Jeffrey Combs is brilliant as always, unfortunately he doesn't have as much screen time. Maybe my memory is deceiving me, as I watched this a couple months ago, but I don't think they explain why Combs is a walking corpse. The evil killed everyone else he attacked in the early stages of the film, and they stay dead, and yet Combs for some unexplainable reason is able to keep on ticking after having his neck snapped. The good points are the cast, which although underdeveloped, is very talented, and shine with what little they have to work with. The special effects are all well above average, although some viewers may be disappointed with the lack of gore. Voodoo Moon is worth a look, as long as your expectations aren't to high. I just expected more from Charisma's first major film role.

residentevilbrandy I just saw this movie yesterday,and I loved it! Some parts could have been corny,but they were played out well enough. Eric Mabius did a WONDERFUL job as Cole. He really took on the part of the role,very dark,you never once questioned it. One of the only things that was "iffy" about this movie was the title,"Voodoo Moon",I'm not sure what Voodoo had to do with the movie @ all. My take on this movie was that it was the battle between good and evil. Could I possibly be wrong? I also wished Cole would have been told about his son @ the end...Also since Cole senses things,would't he have known about his son,somehow...someway? Possibly a sequel?(Or even a prequel?) Maybe? Hopefully? One can only hope...
