After opening with the most jaw-droppingly godawful theme song ever conceived: "Moonchild! Moooonchild! Moo-ooo-ooon-chiiillld!", MOONCHILD begins.
A student (Mark Travis) is taken on a strange journey by a man called Mr. Walker (John Carradine). A journey filled with nonsense and pseudo-symbolic claptrap. This includes Victor Buona hamming it up so much that it fries the brain! He showed far more subtlety as King Tut on TV's BATMAN!
MOONCHILD can't simply be excused or justified by saying "It was a 1970's thing". No, this was mind-numbing bilge upon release, and is about as entertaining as a nail through the foot!
Watching it now makes one long for drugs, any drugs, especially fatal ones!
BRAVO FOR: The "hog's head" scene, which manages to be both idiotic and gross!
This could be called an "art film", in much the same way that a lead pipe to the head can be called a "cure for migraine".
Just plain terrible...
