MOONCHILD

Cinemavixion Review

In the annals of ambitious, low-budget filmmaking, Todd Sheets' 'Moonchild' emerges as a fascinating, albeit rough-edged, specimen from the VHS era. This sprawling sci-fi horror action epic plunges viewers into a dystopian future where political prisoner Jacob Stryker undergoes a brutal transformation into a werewolf super-soldier. Upon escaping his captors, Stryker embarks on a desperate search for his son, all while being relentlessly pursued by a formidable crew of cyborg and mutant bounty hunters. While its production values may scream 'shot on video,' the film's sheer audacity and offbeat sensibilities make it a noteworthy entry for fans of unconventional genre cinema. Sheets crafts a narrative that, despite its limitations, showcases a unique vision and a commitment to delivering a wild, genre-bending ride.
