Full Moon Features Review

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 umbrella, but Full Moon also licenses movies from Blue Underground, Severin Films, and Something Weird Video.

Fans of schlock cinema will love what Full Moon Features offers—but the monthly price is a bit steep for its middling library size. However, the discounted annual subscription drops the monthly price by $2 monthly and includes your choice of three different box sets—a much better value.

Full Moon Features deals and promotions

Full Moon Features plans and pricing

Full Moon Features costs $6.99/mo.. The monthly price is high, considering its middling library size. The annual subscription drops the price by $2.00 to $4.99 a month—with the free box set, it’s one of the best streaming TV deals out there.

Full Moon Features vs. the competition

We recommend Shudder to serious horror fans who want the best blend of classic and new horror movies—and only horror movies. Shudder is also more affordable (by $1.00–$1.25 a month) than Full Moon Features, and has almost 200 more movies and shows.

Arrow has an exceptionally well-curated library of cult action, comedy, documentary, exploitation, horror, martial arts, and science fiction films for the same price per month as Full Moon Features. Arrow’s annual sub deal isn’t quite as good at $5.83 monthly, but it’s certainly a solid value.

If you’re on a budget, Screambox has almost as many movies and shows—with an emphasis on horror—as Full Moon Features—and a one-year subscription is only $27, or $2.25 monthly. Wow. Screambox also has a six-month sub for $15 ($2.50 monthly). Both options save you 50–55% on the regular price ($4.99 a month). If horror is your genre of choice, Screambox is also a more affordable alternative to Shudder, albeit with fewer new films.

Night Flight Plus is almost as good a deal, with 999+ titles—covering all genres, but particularly notable for its huge library of music titles and classic Night Flight episodes—for $5.99/mo.. The annual sub breaks down to $3.33 monthly.

Now let’s dig into the uniquely entertaining Full Moon Features catalog.

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

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. Be sure to download on your home Wi-Fi network to avoid using up your mobile data.

Note that offline viewing works only with the Full Moon Features mobile app (Android, iOS), so you won’t be able to download movies to your hard drive.

Supported devices

The Full Moon Features app supports a variety of devices, so you’ll likely have more than one way to watch. Smart TV users might be out of luck, though.

Full Moon Features video and audio quality

Full Moon Features streams in 1080p, or full high-definition (HD). Resolution automatically adjusts according to your connection speed.

If you can’t access Wi-Fi, you can save data by adjusting the stream quality (you can choose high, medium, or low) in the app settings.

Full Moon Features app testing

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.

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.

The Full Moon Features mobile app is intuitive, looks good, works well, and is available for Android (4.1 stars) and iOS (4.6 stars).

Final take: Is Full Moon Features worth it?

Full Moon Features ($6.99/mo.) is totally worth it—if you get the annual subscription with the free box set. If you go month-to-month, but you adore Full Moon’s brand of schlock cinema, you’ll probably still be happy.
