MOONCHILD
MOONCHILD
dir. Michael J. Murphy, 1989
UK. 85 min.
In English.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 9 – 10PM
SUNDAY, AUGUST 11 – 5PM
TUESDAY, AUGUST 27 – 10PM
A young woman takes a position as an assistant to an author in a sleepy English village not realizing that she will become embroiled in a complex plot involving madness and murder.
A lazy programmer would describe this as a no-budget Wicker Man riff – but not this programmer. While MOONCHILD shares some DNA with the folk-horror classic, this is very much a Michael J Murphy joint, so expect lots of moody dialogue, an unnecessary brawl or two, and endless low budget charm along the way to a maybe-not-unpredictable-but-still-enjoyable twist ending.
