Today’s Moose-feeding movie is HIGH MOON (2019), wherein an Old West cowboy kills a werewolf outlaw gang before being dispatched by his interdimensional ninja mentor only to be resurrected in the present day where the also-resurrected werewolves have become a *motorcycle* gang.
JOE BOB BRIGGS VOICE. “Sure we’ve seen it before, but have we seen it *like this?!*”
Writer/director Josh Ridgway serves up a bit of a mixed bag: the premise is lunacy, the gore makeup is good, the werewolf makeup is terrible, the fights are decent, the cinematography is dull, all the scenes are too long.
Also the script uses the patented Bill Martell trick of writing a big, juicy part for one cast member with a bigger name than anybody else in the cast (in this case, Sean Patrick Flanery of BOONDOCK SAINTS)... a part that takes place entirely in one location.
Martell’s trick is useful for low-budget filmmakers, because it means you only need your most expensive cast member for one shooting day, but you work the hell out of him on that day and film a bunch of scenes that are scattered throughout the pic.
