Is Full Moon Features good?
Full Moon Features (FMF) is an on-demand streaming TV service that carries mainly horror films and series, but also action, comedy, Eurocult, sci-fi, and softcore erotica films—all with extra cheese. Most of the titles are produced under the Full Moon Studios/Full Moon Pictures umbrella, but Full Moon also licenses movies from Blue Underground, Something Weird Video, and the Andy Sidaris collection.
Horror and cult film fans will love what Full Moon Features offers. Its library alone is worth the price, and the app runs smooth as butter. Plus, the discounted annual subscription and accompanying 10 free DVDs/Blu-rays offer (worth up to $170) make it truly an excellent value.
Full Moon Features pros and cons
Pros
- Affordable pricing
- Large library
- Downloads for offline viewing
- Free DVDs or Blu-rays with annual subscription
Cons
- No way to search or access watchlist on Xbox One version of app
- Poor experience as an Amazon Prime Video Channel
- Limited titles available for free DVD/Blu-ray offer
Full Moon Features deals and promotions
Full Moon Features has a discounted annual subscription rate with a sweet promotion attached: new and returning annual subscribers can pick 10 free DVDs or Blu-rays—or the entire 12-movie Puppet Master Collection—from FullMoonDirect.com.
To collect on the offer, just sign up for the annual subscription, and Full Moon Features will email you a promo code for the discs in around a week. Our code arrived as promised, and our Blu-rays showed up in three days. Your mileage may vary depending on your location. Also, you won’t pay a dime for shipping (international orders must pay a $20 shipping fee).
The list of eligible discs, while ample enough, excludes many titles that are streaming on Full Moon Features. So you can’t select Andy Sidaris’s wonderfully turgid action flicks (bummer), Blue Underground’s giallo and spaghetti-splatter titles, or Something Weird Video’s Herschell Gordon Lewis gorefests. But there’s still plenty to choose from, and we’re stoked on our stack. Without the offer, it would’ve cost us $155.50 plus shipping.
Check out our sweet free Blu-rays.
Full Moon Features also offers a seven-day free trial if you want to scope out the service before you commit.

Data as of post date.
* Estimated.
When comparing horror streaming TV services, Full Moon Features ranks a close second behind Shudder due to price and catalog quality and size.
We recommend Shudder to serious horror fans who want chills and thrills. Full Moon Features, while dense with horror titles, is best for devotees of cult/midnight/awesomely bad movies of all genres. The Arrow Player gives you a little of both, but its exceptionally well-curated library also includes extra action, comedy, exploitation, and martial arts titles.
I have annual subs to all three services because they’re so good, and with the annual sub discounts, I pay only $15.58 a month combined. That’s a fantastic price for all three services, but the upfront cost is pretty steep at $187. If you can’t afford that, the month-to-month price is still a great deal at $19.97 a month. (Note: you’ll have to subscribe to each service separately).
Screambox and Monsters and Nightmares are much smaller services, hence the cheaper subscriptions. They’re really only worth it if you have a spare $3–$5 in your monthly entertainment budget.
But now let’s dig into the uniquely entertaining Full Moon Features catalog.
Full Moon Features movies and shows
The Full Moon Features library draws primarily from the Full Moon Entertainment filmography, which includes horror (Full Moon Studios/Full Moon Pictures/Full Moon Productions), sci-fi and sexy sci-fi (Torchlight Entertainment), and family films (Moonbeam Entertainment).
As mentioned earlier, Full Moon Features licenses some films from Eurocult, horror, and exploitation studios like Blue Underground and Something Weird Video. FMF also features special collections like the Andy Sidaris action films, which are gleaming jewels in the Full Moon Features crown (if you like explosions, nudity, and utter nonsense).

Full Moon Features add-ons
Full Moon Features has no add-ons, but it is an add-on. As discussed earlier, you can add FMF on Amazon Prime Video via Prime Channels. It’s the same price ($6.99 a month or $59.99 a year), but remember there are pros and cons to subscribing to Full Moon Features through Prime Channels.
Full Moon Features app, specs, and features
Enough about the library—how’s the overall Full Moon Features experience? Does the app run smoothly? How many people can use the service at a time? Can you download movies and shows to watch offline? And the picture—is it crystal clear or like trying to watch scrambled Cinemax in the ’80s and ’90s. We have answers.
Streams
| Service | Streams |
|---|---|
| Full Moon Features | 3 |
| Shudder | 1 |
| Arrow Player | 3 |
| Night Flight Plus | Unlimited |
| Screambox | 3 |
| Monsters and Nightmares | Unavailable |
Full Moon Features doesn’t say how many simultaneous streams it has, but we were able to watch it on two smartphones (using the Full Moon Features mobile app) and an Xbox One (using the FMF app for Xbox One). So Full Moon Features has at least three streams, which is average for streaming TV services.
It’s worth mentioning, though, that among Full Moon Features’ competitors, that Shudder has only one stream (whyyyyyy?) and Night Flight Plus has unlimited streams.
Offline viewing
On-demand streaming services don’t offer cloud DVR, but Full Moon Features has the next best thing: downloads for offline viewing. This is extra handy when you’re traveling. Just don’t forget to download only on your home Wi-Fi network so you don’t use up your mobile data.

Pro tip: If you log out of the Full Moon Features app, all of your downloaded content (excluding rented and purchased titles) will disappear and you’ll have to download them again.

Full Moon Features video and audio quality
Full Moon Features streams in 1080p, or full high-definition (HD). If you’re somewhere without Wi-Fi access, you can save data by adjusting the stream quality (you can choose high, medium, or low) in the app’s settings.
If you don’t change the stream quality, resolution will automatically adjust according to your connection speed.

We tested Full Moon Features on two TVs, one smartphone, one laptop, one gaming console, and four internet connections. We watched over a dozen movies and shows both online and off.
In all but one test, we enjoyed full HD resolution. The odd test out was the smartphone using mobile data. We noticed the video quality dipping while we were on the go, which isn’t unusual. The watchlist and resume-watching features sync nicely across devices—except for on the Xbox One.
The Full Moon Features mobile app is intuitive, looks good, runs like a dream, and is available for Android (4.1 stars) and iOS (4.6 stars).

As for the interface, Full Moon Features has simple, intuitive navigation via carousel menus. Playback controls include play/pause, 10-second jumps (rewind and fast-forward), skip-to-next, add-to-list, share, and download buttons. It’s simple, but effective.
