The Amityville Moon
As Alyssa and Karla try to escape from the church home that holds them captive, Karla is slaughtered by a vicious, semi-human creature. After Detective Kimball tracks down Alyssa at a rowdy biker bar, she tells Kimball that women inmates disappear every full moon, and shows him the silver bullets in her gun. Now the two must return to the halfway house to confront the priest and nuns—and the snarling, savage evil—that dwell within.
Why it matters
A gritty mashup of locked-down dread and werewolf horror that blends cult captivity with lupine terror.
- Practical effects deliver a snarling, semi-human creature that’s as unsettling as it is brutal.
- A rare blend of women-in-captivity tension and supernatural monster mayhem with a feminist edge.
- For fans of gritty, low-budget creature features who crave atmosphere over polish.
- The full moon isn’t just a setting—it’s a ticking clock that ratchets up dread in tight, claustrophobic spaces.
