'Killer's Moon' (1978) – Alan Birkinshaw.

Alongside fellow UK horror maverick, Norman J. Warren's kooky cross-dressing cannibal creature feature 'Prey', the mean-spirited, Lake District set, acid-dosed death-dealer 'Killer's Moon' remains one of UK splatter's best kept secrets. Notably co-written by national literary treasure, Fay Weldon, this diabolically deviant, Drooged-out video nasty has resolutely kept its notoriety intact over the passing years. This schizoid 70s slasher has a sleazily voyeuristic appeal, the sudden outbursts of sadistic violence makes for a suspenseful, deliriously unpredictable Home invasion schlockfest. Weirdly compelling, sadistic, and dangerously volatile,'Killer's Moon' excitingly retains its off-key, blitzkrieg bonkers atmosphere. Alan Birkinshaw's surrealistic backwoods bloodbath is a bona fide cult classic

Forced by vehicular calamity to overnight at a gloomy off-season hotel, our lissome coach-load of perkily precocious, sweet-voiced lovelies misfortune is further compounded by the violent intrusion of four savage, charismatically crazed, moon-maddened maniacs! Babbling incoherently, monstrously ripped on experimental, military grade hallucinogens, these lysergically lurid lunatics are deliriously convinced that their cruel, diabolically debased actions are part of some collective, chemically induced dream therapy. Their memorably mental murder spree remains one of the more frenzied assaults upon the sensibilities in British Horror film history! Ardent fans of, Pete Walker, and eccentric horror auteur, Andy Milligan are sure to relish, Alan Birkinshaw's howlingly mad, blisteringly bellicose 'Killer's Moon', just DON'T try to tell yourself it's only a dream!
