Killer's Moon
Four mental patients - who, due to unauthorized experiments, believe they're living in a dream and have shed all moral imperatives - escape and find their way to the nearest bus-load of stranded schoolgirls.
Why it matters
A grimy, transgressive descent into 1970s British exploitation horror that dares to unsettle with its raw, nihilistic edge.
- A brutal snapshot of post-’60s counterculture anxieties wrapped in psychotic spree-killer chaos.
- Practical effects and gritty London locations ground the surreal violence in grim reality.
- Not for the faint, Killer’s Moon pushes boundaries on morality and madness in ways few films of its era dared.
- Fans of early Cronenberg body horror and roughshod slasher antecedents will find a perverse, unsettling gem here.
