Moon in Scorpio

Newlyweds Allen (John Philip Law) and Linda (Britt Ekland) spend their honeymoon sailing to Mexico on a boat. Along for the trip are two of Allen's old Vietnam buddies - Burt (William Smith) and Mark (Lewis Van Bergen) - and their respective girlfriends. The bad news is one of these folks is a psycho who just escaped from a mental asylum and has been going around stabbing folks. I wasn't quite sure where to put this review, but I guess the "horror" thread works due to the multiple throat slashing. This VHS was purchased solely for the great cover art and that is easily the best thing about this flick. Director Gary Graver took a break from porn to make this thriller. He assembled a decent cast, but doesn't know what the heck to do with them. The story is told via flashback (Linda talking to a doctor played by Robert Quarry) and you'll get confused right away as the asylum breakout is shown before Linda is discovered and telling her story. This results in a total mess that comes off feeling like two movies edited into one at points.

Despite numerous bad reviews I still for some reason decided to watch 'Moon in Scorpio'. I should have listened to those reviews...

'Moon in Scorpio' is another movie where I didn't care one bit about any of the characters. It was also hard to tell who the protagonist or antagonist is. The incoherent script is really bad, the dialogue is bad, and it was very badly acted, as well.

'Moon in Scorpio' is all over the place with too much going on that wasn't interesting at all. In fact, the film was slow and boring. The events of the fateful nights aboard a yacht is revealed through retellings of Linda (Britt Ekland), who is in police custody. Ekland was unconvincing and I couldn't really make out whether she was making up a story, or actually telling the truth. Truth is, I couldn't care less. This was a complete waste of time and a film I'd like to forget, but probably will remember for how bad it is. It also has an abrupt ending without motivation for what happened. Ugh...!

Would I watch it again? No.

Moon in scorpio is an 80s slasher about some people going on a honeymoon on a boat.

It has decent acting. There's one actress i've seen in other movies her name is Britt Ekland known from the wicker man, one of the James Bond movies and the hills have eyes, one of my personal favourite horror movies.

The characters are wierd and bad, it almost doesn't seem like they've ever met before.

In the first fourty minutes of the movie almost nothing happens. I think they chould have done something more those foury minutes.

The mystery is really easy to solve and you probably won't be suprised at all who's killing people.

Some of the scenes in the movie should have been cut and maby it whould be better.

Overall Moon in scorpio deserves a 3,4 out of 10 i whould maby rate it a little bit higher, but that's probably because i love bad movies. So i enjoyed it even with all the flawes in it, i can't really say that i recommend it, but if you are one of those people like me who loves wierd slashers i recommend you should watch it.

Whilst this movie awful, it is a superb vehicle for showing off Britt Ekland's horrendous acting, which is far more frightening than any of the murders. Terrible, but unfortunately no where near the worst movie I've seen.

"Moon in Scorpio" is one of the worst slasher flicks I have ever seen.Everything in this picture is by-the-numbers,and even undemanding horror fans who only ask for competent gore will be disappointed,as the numerous murders(mostly stabbings and throat slashings)are practically anemic.Shot on a very low budget,the production values are almost nonexistent and the story moves at a snail's pace.This is truly bad horror film full of meaningless scenes which do nothing to the plot.The acting is completely awful and the direction by Gary Graver is even worse.An absolute trash-avoid it like the plague.My rating:2/10(for some nice murders).
