March 16, 2010 - The Seventh Moon

You know by now I'm a sucker for horror films, even if they're not very good. Tonight's installment wasn't very good.

(58) The Seventh Moon (2008): This film is part of the Ghost House Underground series from Lionsgate, and it's number 2 of 8 that I've seen. This one stars Amy Smart as an American on her honeymoon in China with her Chinese husband. According to Chinese legend, the gates of hell open on the full moon of the seventh month and some really scary "moon" people come out for a bit of the old rape and pillage during the night. Not a unique or even interesting premise, but I watched it all the same.

For a long time hardly anything happened, then Smart and her husband swore badly at each other for a while, then something happened that I can't tell you because it's the whole enchilada, and then the end credits rolled. I'll give Lionsgate props on one aspect of their line of horror films: 90 minutes or less seems to be the ticket, and this one, thankfully, clocked in at a brisk 87 minutes.

Not really worth watching unless you're a fan of Amy Smart, which isn't hard, or if you're a sucker like me and just like horror films.
