The future, when the land is under the dictatorial rule of Chronos
(Harry Rose): Jacob (Auggi Alvarez) has been experimented on by a sinister
gouvernment organisation and his DNA has been blended with wolf DNA,
making him an artificial werewolf - but Jacob has managed to escape, and
he soon runs into a rebel nest, where he faces immediate distrust, and it
takes him time to persuade the rebels of his good intentions, but
ultimately he not only gains their respect but persuades a few, like their
top fighter Talon (Dave Miller) and their top scout Athena (Kathleen
McSweeney) to accompany him on a mission back to the compound he has
escaped from to save his son Caleb (Stefan Hilt). As dangerous as the
mission is, it's made even more so when they find out that Caleb has
turned against his own dad by Chronos ... Now Moonchild
was shot on a very modest budget on video, back when that technology, at
least in the semi-pro field, wasn't yet up to the task, so don't expect
utter brilliance as that was simply impossible to achieve. That out of the
way though, Moonchild is by no means a bad film, sure it borrows
from quite a number of dystopian science fiction movies, most obviously
maybe Escape from New York, but that said it's pretty successful in
creating its own world, which given the relative lack of funds is really
remarkable, and it tells an action-packed story on a swift pace with its
fair share of surprises, and if one can forgive above-mentioned
shortcomings and you're into the genre, this one's more than likely to
entertain you rather nicely.
