When a little girl has a terrible accident and slips into a coma, she finds herself thrust into a darkly surreal industrial dreamworld. Haunted by a nightmarish spectre 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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

If writer-director Ryan Stevens Harris' story is somewhat less compelling than his bizarrely transfixing visuals, Moon Garden remains a mind-bending achievement of dark DIY fantasy.

3.5/4
A horror/fantasy that puts every bit of its imagination on the screen and constantly impresses with its DIY spectacle. Go to Full Review

Initially, we’re repelled by the ’90s grunge video aesthetics. Later, we admire the power in these visceral expressions of traumas Emma will someday tell her therapist. Go to Full Review

The real-life portions of the film fall flat, but not enough to write off an otherwise fun and thoughtful journey. Go to Full Review

4/5
Moon Garden is an incredible, unique film that was clearly a labor of love for everyone involved. It wears its heart on its sleeve, both in its themes and in its love for the practical, tangible world that it creates. Go to Full Review

Ryan Stevens Harris has created a modern-day fable, a dark fairy tale, and a story about love and resilience that lingers with its sublime beauty and ominous terrors – terrors that can be banished by sunlight and the warmth of familial attention. Go to Full Review
Nathaniel Muir AIPT Jun 20, 2023
A darkly beautiful adventure that is part children’s adventure, part horror story. The setting and imagery make up for a story that is often put in the background. There is a degree of patience required, but those who love fantasy should check this out. Go to Full Review
