(Geoffrey): (rating 4,5)
Say hello to the Moon Demons from Hell (or wherever they're from). Every 7th moon they come out of their hiding place and they need killing to feed, to add new demon members. If your village is near their hide-out, you, the inhabitants need to make some sacrificing. So, you and your village are tired to make the sacrifices? Well, then it means you need to make sure you get people outside the village for sacrificing. "Ooh look, there is a nice just married couple. Let's make them food for the demons".
The story had a few nice moments with chasing and all, but even that was not always good. I like the idea, but it could have been worked out better. The demons are reasonable done. Less CGI, more suits and old school make-up. Unfortunately the movie lost quite some points with some extremely bad acting and script.

Villagers sell tourists to the Ghosts of Dead that seemingly appear every 7th full moon

Factual errors, continuous shaky handycams - including a shot of the moon that just didn't want to be static - silly ghosts, a non-interesting story. Didn't mind closing my eyes every now and then.
The website proudly advertises this film to be from the creator of "the Blair Witch Project". The amateurish camera-work wasn't of any use here. Completely illogic steps in storyline: mysterious ghosts can suddenly be found by following a landingsstrip (UFO's here please) of candles?

Herman was spot on when he warned us for a severe shakycam and a surprisingly long credit roll compared to the simple low budget feel of the film. There was no rationale behind this particular use of the camera, it was annoying and distracting, with the unsteady shot of the moon as the epitome.
Nothing more to say about this film really, the plot was really straightforward and the characters were not engaging. Next.

Entertaining movie. A man and a woman are in China when the Seventh Moon shines. During that night the gates of hell are opened and the dead roam and wreak havoc till the moon falls below the horizon.
There is one thing that really sucks in this movie in my opinion, the camera work. If you are seasick easily I advice you to take some pills against travel sickness before you go to this movie. Looking at the end titles, Seventh Moon isn't a very low budget movie, so I wonder why they filmed it so shaky. Maybe on purpose to give it an authentic feel ?
Anyway, to the director : a Steadicam doesn't need to be expansive :) (link).
