Review Date:

Full Moon High offers nostalgic 80s charm with solid video/audio by Scream Factory, but lacks cohesive humor and substantial extras, making it a modest, enjoyable watch.

Full Moon High's Blu-ray debut showcases a vibrant AVC encoded 1080p transfer with a 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Colors are saturated and details such as fabric textures shine through, though occasional grain and blocking are present. Black levels are strong, and skintones appear natural and consistent.

Audio: 61

Scream Factory's Blu-ray of 'Full Moon High' features a DTS-HD MA 2.0 mono track that, while loud and clear in dialogue, shows its age with minimal ambiance and some hiss. The mix offers decent depth but lacks the fidelity and dynamics of modern multi-channel formats.

Extra: 33

"Extras on the 'Full Moon High' Blu-ray include an engaging commentary with insightful anecdotes from writer/director Larry Cohen and filmmaker Steve Mitchell, though the theatrical trailer, presented in SD and running 2:58, tends to play a bit choppy." ``

Movie: 51

Larry Cohen's 'Full Moon High' attempts to blend werewolf horror with slapstick comedy, starring a young Adam Arkin. Despite its energetic cast and frequent humor, the film suffers from inconsistent narrative pacing, underdeveloped gags, and lackluster special effects, making it feel more disjointed than endearing.
