FULL MOON GLORY HOLE (2024): The Most Insane Movie of the Year? Review

That title refers to a 2024 low-budget indie horror film directed by James Bell (known for Tantrum and his work in the extreme underground horror scene).Consistent with Bell’s filmography, the movie is a “so-bad-it’s-good” or “trash-cinema” style project that leans heavily into DIY practical effects, gross-out humor, and a grindhouse aesthetic.Quick Film Facts* Director: James Bell* Genre: Indie Horror / Splatter / Comedy* Aesthetic: Lo-fi, shot on video (SOV) style, featuring heavy grain and saturated colors.* Premise: The plot involves a cursed or supernatural glory hole in a secluded restroom that leads to various “splatter” sequences and creature transformations.Asset ReminderSince this film has a very gritty, low-budget feel, a thumbnail using distressed textures, VHS scanlines, and a neon title overlay would capture the “trash cinema” vibe of the movie while fitting a retro-themed channel layout.Are you looking for a breakdown of the practical effects in this one, or perhaps a list of similar underground splatter films to pair it with?
