There is very little more to the plot that this, and story is essentially pushed along with several flashbacks and historical narratives. To keep things interesting, the antagonistic devil who calls himself “Daniel” (Rik Young), periodically rears his malevolent head to wreak some havoc on the world. But these scenes are far and few between, and the story plods along at a relatively monotone pace.

Moreover, many of the violent scenes seemed watered down. Not that a horror movie necessarily needs to have an excessive amount of blood and gore to be effective, but it felt like director Kevin VanHook (Slayer) shot the film with the expectation that he would be showing it to his mother.

Legendary horror actor Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator) makes an appearance as an old detective friend of Cole’s. The intent of his character appears to be for comic-relief, but unfortunately, his character wasn’t very comical and it made his role somewhat pointless.

That being said, I did find Voodoo Moon moderately entertaining. It generally kept my interest for the full 89 minutes, which was aided by a few low-budget but visually aesthetic special effects.

If you’re interested in seeing a low-budget version of Constantine, with a made-for-tv feel to it, then perhaps Voodoo Moon is for you. If not, I’d leave this one alone.
