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]
