Killer's Moon

Directed by Alan Birkinshaw

197892 min5.0 / 10

A bleak exploitation horror film that uses the premise of delusional killers to justify graphic violence against vulnerable victims.

Four mental patients - who, due to unauthorized experiments, believe they're living in a dream and have shed all moral imperatives - escape and find their way to the nearest bus-load of stranded schoolgirls.
