Plot
In 1887, Colorado, three men & two women are traveling on a horse-drawn stagecoach, heading for Denver by way of a nearby mining town. A fourth man, a gunslinger, joins them on the way, his horse having broken its leg.
By the time they arrive at the town, they see that it is deserted, and a blood red moon can be seen in the night sky. During that very night, something sinister is going to happen. They are attacked by two outlaws, who have just robbed a bank & are fleeing the law. But the whole group, robbers & all, are soon under attack by something far deadlier & more terrifying. One by one, they are picked off. Only a few will survive.

Reception
Zoe Rose Smith of Scream magazine wrote "Blood MoonTemplate:'s biggest flaw was that it lacked any real plot line that could have surprised me or possibly made me want to discuss it with someone".[3] Writing for Screen International, Kim Newman called it "a rare serious entry in the 'steak and kidney western' sub-category and combines elements from classic American cowboy films with a Native American spin on the werewolf legend".[4] Phil Wheat of Nerdly called the film "a surprisingly great monster movie",[5] while Jennie Kermode of Eye for Film, who reviewed its DVD release wrote that "[the film] falls short on ambition, but there's still plenty here to enjoy".[6]
A rank of 65 out of a 100 was awarded to Blood Moon by Culture Crypt.[7]
According to Bob Brinkman of the Horror News Network "Blood Moon is truly a great film".[8]
