Bad Moon (simplified Chinese: 恶月; traditional Chinese: 惡月), also known as E yue, is a 2005 Taiwanese film directed by Willing Lu and Chi Yin.[1] Produced by Central Motion Picture Corporation, the film is 98 minutes long.[2] It stars Kimi Hsia, Ko Shu-chin, Lam Lei [zh], and Yin Chao-te [zh].[3][4] Bad Moon was previously titled Devil's Holiday (Chinese: 魔鬼假期)[5] and is a horror and thriller film.[6][7][8]

Bad Moon explores how mental illness may have driven a girl to jump from a building.[9] It was largely filmed late at night which disrupted actor Lam Lei's circadian rhythm and was agonising for him.[10]

Apple Daily film critic Zhuang Youfen praised the film, writing, "The plot is suspenseful and compact, and the audience can enjoy the fun of reasoning."[11] Bad Moon had an underwhelming performance at the box office.[12]
