Ashley Green (who Tweens and lonely middle-aged women know from Twilight and the rest of us don't know of at all) plays Summer, a rebellious teen trying to find the father that she's never met. Shortly ever finding herself in a small backwoods town, she meets up with a guy whom she goes home with. Only to find herself in over her head the next day when she finds herself chained up in the basement.Aside from Green herself who doesn't appear to have any acting talent whatsoever, the movie isn't all THAT awful. Yea the marketing of it to attempt to capitalize off the success of the Twilight series is crass, tacky & wholly unneeded, but aside from all the BS there lays a somewhat well-thought out film.

Moderately disturbing thriller about a young hitchhiker(Ashley Green) seeking to find the father she has never known, running into mother and son psychos, who keep her chained in their basement. Anyone in the TWILIGHT series starring in a horror flick will be exploited by low budget filmmakers and distributors. This time around it's Ashley Green, in a more adult role, as a troubled girl who wishes to find her father, not knowing he's a serial killer named Gant(Stephen McHattie). Summer(Greene),while in the act of shoplifting food from a convenient store, is lent a ride by handsome Tom Hoxey(Peter Mooney). Tom sent the policeman, who caught Summer, in the opposite direction. Tom takes Summer to his home and the two have sex with mama Gaia(Barbara Niven)listening intently on the outside of his door. Tom decides Summer should "hang out" in his basement garden where he keeps other girls he kidnaps with Gaia unwilling to interfere in freeing those captured. Better still is the fact that Gant is Tom's father..yep, Tom and Summer are step brother and sister. So the family awaits Gant's return, as the dread builds. While McHattie is not in the film very long, his menacing presence when he does appear is quite palpable. You can just sense how Tom fears his daddy's arrival, growing fond of Summer, worried that she will be in danger(letting her go, though, is out of the question)when he comes home. Mooney and Niven are appropriately warped as the twisted mother and son who appear to the locals in their community as normal when they're anything but. Greene is pretty and vacuous as the tortured Summer, who, I believe, develops Stockholmes while kept prisoner in the Hoxeys' home, forced to do manual chores if granted freedom from her bonds..it does seem that, after a couple attempts to flee when loosened from her chains are disrupted, Summer becomes attached to Tom.

I have just watched Summers Moon tonight, and i thought that it was a good film. It is about A teenage girl called Summer (Ashley Green, Twilight) who is on the road looking to try and find her father. Her only clue where to find where he may be is a letter from a rural community called Massey. Once Summer arrives in town she is rescued from a hit and run with the police, by a man called Tom(Peter Mooney), both of them seem to get on well together so they head back to Tom's house which her shares with his mum Gaia,(Barbera Niven). But on arrival at the house she is knocked unconscious by the demented family, Summer is bound with chains inside a box that is filled with dirt. She is also surrounded by by plants and human skulls and another girl who is almost dying. What she does not know she is the latest flower in Tom's ''Human Garden''. I found it to be quite disturbing at times because of the sexual violence in it. 5/10

After receiving the DVD today I thought it looked like one you would get free in a newspaper in a few years time.(Like 'The Night Caller' that wasn't so good).But nevertheless I watched it anyway and I have to say for a 15 day shoot it is very good. Predictable at times but then a lot of films are these days. There was some good acting from Ashley Green and most other actors. I especially like Stephen McHattie in the film, for some reason the way he delivered his lines was quite amusing. The film's ending wasn't spectacular but better than some I have seen. I would definitely recommend seeing this.......
