i'd say i know Full Moon about as intimately as anyone here that hasnt worked on them ... and even at their best .. they're pretty weak films. a profesional company that never lost the look and feel of amateur film. Never felt they had to.
I know a lot of people want to like them .. several grew up on them as i did (well, at least through the 80's) but not one of their films was what i would consider to be a good or strong film.
its a who's who of non-actors ... Tim Thomerson is the best they had..
(i know Helen Hunt .. and one or two others have shown up in small parts... they hardly saved the films)
the one consistant is that the music ALWAYS sucked.
They also suffered from unorigionality - when they werent ripping off better films they were ripping off themselves.
This is a company that only survived because of home video.
people will rent anything. they know it and have been taking advantage of that for 20 years.
an whats worse than full moon ?
their shitty branch of kids films Moonbeam.
for the record .. i was even a member of the Fullmoon mailing list at one time ..
sort of like an ex smoker .. i simply cant deal with that shit at all now
