Full Moon High

About This Movie

Full Moon High is this quirky blend of comedy, fantasy, and horror that really captures the awkwardness of high school life, but with a supernatural twist. Larry Cohen’s direction gives it a distinctively offbeat tone, creating a playful atmosphere that balances humor with some surprisingly dark moments. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that only adds to its charm, making it more relatable. The practical effects for the werewolf transformation are pretty neat for its time, and the performances, especially by the lead, bring a certain earnestness that fits the absurdity. It’s not your typical werewolf film, and that’s what makes it stand out – it’s all about the struggle of fitting in, even when you’re furrier than usual.
