Two totally seperate stories, both based on classic horror myths (and
considering the title, I'm confident you already have a vague idea what
these myths are).
Story 1: After the death of Anna's (Haven Burton) parents she is sent
to live with her uncle Victor Frankenstein (Jason Simmons), who would just
love to have her confined to her room because or the experiment he's
currently working on (I wonder what that could be) - but tell a teenage
girl that something is a secret and she gets extra-nosey of course, and
soon she and her friend, young gardener Thomas (Ben Gould) try to figure
out what's going on in Castle Frankenstein.
Before the two can really find anything out though, Uncle Victor and
his helper Ludwig (Georg Calin) have created a monster that of course
immediately escapes and kills someone out of fear. Later though, Anna
meets the monster in the forest and discovers its gentler side. She even
teaches the monster to speak and stuff, and the two become friends. But
soon enough, Ludwig has found out about Anna's friend and uses her
to capture the monster. Ludwig wants the monster killed immediately since
otherwise the murder the monster has committed could be pinned on him and
Victor, but when Victor realizes that the monster can talk and has
intellectual capabilities, he can't because that would be bloody murder.
Eventually, the monster has his say too and pushes Ludwig into the acid
pit prepared for him and somehow sets the lab and the whole castle on
self-destruct mode ... only Anna and Thomas can escape.
Story 2: Eleanor (Ashley Cafagna) is sent to Romania to spend some time
with her uncle Peter (Robin Downes) ... but unfortunately uncle Peter has
been turned into a werewolf last full moon, and guess what, the moon is
full again tonight. Desperately, Peter tries to send Eleanor away again
before he transforms, but ultimately all he can do is to lock her up in
her room before he goes on a killing spree. it is only the next morning
that he explains everthing to her and also admits to the murders he has
committed (as a wolf) last night - which is unfortunately also overheard
by the local police inspector Krol (Len Lesser), who promptly throws Peter
into jail - bad mistake, bcause this night is full moon again ...
And old gypsy (Lucia Maier) hands Eleanor a gun loaded with silver
bullets and asks her to shoot her uncle in jail, while there is still time
and he hasn't yet transformed ... but Eleanor simply can't.
That night, Peter transforms into a werewolf, breaks out of jail, heads
for his home and threatens Eleanor, who now ses herself forced to shoot
him after all ... and somehow it seems to her her uncle really wanted to
be shot by her.
Two classic horror tales told in a rather old-fashioned way with only a
few modern twists to them (like that they are set in contemporary times
and both now revolve around teenage girls) - but the outcome of this can
be best described as so-so: As a lover of old-fashioned horror tales, one
can't help but somehow like the old-ashioned approach to the two stories,
however especially the Frankenstein segment seriously lacks
atmosphere and both tales are a bit too cheesy to really work as horror
and way too foreseeable.
Still, Full Moon has produced way worse films than this one.
