Moon Garden
An industrial steampunk fairy tale that is relentlessly haunting and undeniably riveting.
Moon Garden
When a little girl has a terrible accident and slips into a coma, she finds herself thrust into a darkly surreal industrial dream world. Haunted by a nightmarish specter that feeds off her tears, she must follow her mother’s radio-static voice to find her way back to consciousness.
Shot on expired 35mm film stock with vintage rehoused lenses, Moon Garden is a fantastical odyssey and a visionary, handcrafted, and fully practical work of art that shows how a child can shine light even in the darkest places.
“MOON GARDEN is a fun ride that makes it easy to love. It’s equal parts rockabilly, heart, and wonder. It’s a feast for the eyes.” —Sharai Bohannon, DREAD CENTRAL
“MOON GARDEN is one of those few and far between arthouse horror films that feels both fairytale familiar and pulse-poundingly original.” — Staci Layne Wilson, WOMEN IN HORROR
