Cold Moon
Cold Moon takes place in tiny Babylon, Fla., where the granddaughter of Clark’s character is murdered by a mysterious assailant, her body sunk into the black waters of the Styx River — the river where her parents disappeared from their boat a decade earlier. Suspicion falls on a duplicitous banker and his wealthy father, played by Stewart and Lloyd.

Thanks for the memories!

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
I just wanna say, if nathan going to jail with life sentence and haunted along his life.. It will be satisfied more... Or nathan suicide on jail because of haunted will be better, cause he died slowly, not just easy..
The writer wrote Beetlejuice and Nightmare Before Christmas? He also wrote "Halloween Candy," probably one of the creepiest Tales of the Darkside--and certainly my favorite. Maybe he didn't fail here. Maybe it was the director. In any case, the accents for Northwest Florida are all wrong. Why does Hollywood insist on making all Southerners sound like Antebellum Georgians? This could have been a good film, if it had been a comedy. Instead, it's a mish-mosh of really good CGI and really bad acting and dialogue. The characters are, for the most part, two-dimensional comic book people. Smartass rich Southern gentleman, bumbling bought-out small town sheriff, ditzy high school cheerleader (played by a woman far older than 16 or 17), and a grandmother who is no more from the Pensacola area of NW FLA than she is from New Jersey. And the men's haircuts for 1989, when the film is set: all wrong. In that part of the country in that year the men still wore their hair parted down the middle and feathered back on the sides. And if they were a lot older, they might have had WW II military haircuts, that is if they could find barbers in the 80s who still knew how to cut that style (I was a barber in Pensacola just two years before that.) The kid that assists in the crimes would have either had really long hair pulled back in a ponytail (the trend in '89) or the previously described 1970s cut. Anyway, this movie is a disaster overall, so don't waste your time.
The nice thing about Cold Moon is that it near immediately gripped me, this is a movie that got my attention early on.Set during the late 80's the tale is told of a young murdered girl and her family seeking justice while the killer is besieged by terrifying apparitions.The film looks beautiful with a decent cast including the living legend that is Christopher (Doc Brown, Uncle fester) Lloyd.It delivers and is a very riveting interesting piece of cinema that thoroughly fell under the radar.Sadly it gradually loses steam and when the vague and open to interpretation ending happens and the credits roll I was left finding myself sad that a few lose endings still remained.Cold Moon is a decent enough film, I think it could have benefited from another 30 minutes to flesh it out but kudos to all involved for a damn fine effort.The Good: Very impressive cinematography Christopher Lloyd Great sfxGenuinely creepy The Bad: Feels a bit incomplete Inconsistent in its quality Things I Learnt From This Movie: Christopher Lloyd can simply do no wrong Leather bondage gear is the thing to wear when murdering people because reasons
IF this movie would of been made around the 80s, I would consider it a average movie you can watch if you are bored on a Sunday afternoon. The Storyline is just so dull, man kills girl, girl ghost haunts man, man dies at end.Effects are sometimes a little funny..Actor are average tending to bad acting Biggest problem I had with this movie, the murderer cant make him self more suspect even if he tried really hard.
