Full Moon's Turn Around is Alive with "Stitches"
6 July 2001
In 1995, when then named Full Moon Entertainment broke away from their distribution deal with Paramount Pictures, they left what was a legacy of low-budget horror films behind them. When Full Moon re-surfaced they released Castle Freak, an excellent piece of horror. After that film, however, the company slowly went downhill.

With releases such as Talisman, Curse of the Puppet Master, Totem, and Prison of the Dead, you could tell Full Moon was missing out on a lot, and skipping more beats than an armless drummer. Then, earlier this year, Tempe Entertainment knew Full Moon needed help, and they gave the respectful horror film company A LOT.

Stitches has become the third Full Moon film to be released with the aid of Tempe Entertainment, and I must say, I have been most impressed with this union, including this film the most. It plays out like a horror film, but also as a psychological thriller, a new idea from Full Moon Pictures.

The evil Mrs. Albright (Probably named after line producer and one of Full Moon's leading women, Ariauna Albright) is actually a demon in disguise trying to take the souls of occupants of a home. After she takes their souls, she makes them into paper dolls who do anything she says. Sounds stupid, right? It might, but it's great.

I was really impressed with the films atmosphere, and Full Moon's now trademark digital effects. Usually, the effects don't go over too well, but, this film, seemed completely different, the effects were good, and fit well.

This "Who-Dun-It" film is what you need to watch if you just want something original and something that gives what was a struggling film company new life. Next from Full Moon Pictures, Demonicus.
