Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

reeves2002 Not a bad movie considering how low their budget was.It was nice to actually see a gay couple who were monogamous(although they did have typical issues), and who planned to stay together forever except for the circumstances that tore them apart.The story with Elliot was predictable but still fun to watch.The characters were portrayed well especially since some of them haven't acted before.Some of them remind me of people I know or have known.The part I hated was the abuse Elliot took from his bloody mother.I was waiting for him to stand up for himself and explode at her.Also there was not a lot of mention of his father.I hope in the sequel his father is shown or talked about more. It would have been nice if the shot of the moon at the end was longer.At the end there was a mention of the killings and that something similar happened years earlier.That part didn't make a lot of sense and was too rushed.I wouldn't call this movie a suspense or horror but more of a drama or an off beat thriller.I did get a lot of laughs out of this movie.It may not be everyone's taste but I hope people give it a chance.I really like independent films and am looking forward to seeing the sequel called "November sun"

mrcool1122 Contrary to what most other reviews have said, this movie breaks absolutely no new ground, nor features anything near a high-quality execution. An unrequited love turns an obsessive admirer violent? Give me a break. The mere fact that the love is homosexual is hardly enough to provide an adequate twist, or to persuade someone to lower his standards enough to accept this film as watchable. Horrible actors stumbling over pathetically groan-inducing lines, uninspired cinematography and editing, and an agonizing hour of useless exposition all contribute to make it an extremely tedious experience. A low budget is no excuse for a lack of talent. As a romantic drama it ranks below the worst standards of television, with its extremely trite and overwrought love-triangle concept, and as a tense thriller it falls flat on its face by creating absolutely no tension. It fails both in concept and execution, producing an all-out stinker.

Jill Ensley While billed as a gay horror flick, I would like to point out that the problems and issues experienced by the film's main characters easily translate to anyone. Most of us have experienced the pain of unrequited love, the fear of unacceptance, and the insecure flailings of figuring yourself out. These very human themes are dealt with in a very honest and direct manner, all while adding a touch of cinematic horror and psychological suspense.And while the budget was low, it is not a distracting or apparent element. Mr. Collum has made a first-rate horror flick with a heavy dose of reality. October MOON is a wonderful example of what one person can do with hard work, passion, talent, and skill. I am immensely impressed.Having been a fan of Mr. Collum's other films, October MOON is the best and brightest, so far. I expect, and look forward to, much more in the future.

Gordon (prettyman59) October Moon was seen by myself and several friends at the North 94 Club Kenosha, WI-- showing this past Sunday Oct 2, 2005. Many of the cast members, including the producer, and go-between were present. These folks were as down to earth as it gets. Many times when people think of a gay film, thoughts of 'queeny princesses' pop into mind. This movie was directed and acted out by some of the most loving, wonderful, down-to-earth folks that there are in the Midwest. Everyone should see this awesome film. Since it was only done in one week......I have to say it receives a 10 from me on plot, story-line, actors, costumes, scenes, sound, visual, etc. God blesses the gay folks that really put their heart, soul, and mind into meaningful projects like October Moon! I also wanted to add that the illustrative Christ scene compared to the mothers' ignorance (in the movie) was a delightful touch. Who lies to who?, who destroys peoples lives?...many ignorant and narrow-minded straight people--that's who! Also, the passion (and reality) of gay life between the two lovers was spectacular, and I must state that because we live in a day and age where social constructs push us gay folks toward failure....we must stand up and be counted for as human beings! We too deserve a chance at long lasting relationships like the straight world! Praise is due this most delightful work my brothers and sisters regarding this most magnificent gay film project!!! I wish you the best...and know that it will go far. Good luck at the Gay-Film Festival Milwaukee! Everyone should vote in favor of this most wonderful cast! God Bless!
