Silver Bullet

Released - 1985
Genre - Horror, Adventure, Mystery
Director - Daniel Attias
Starring - Gary Busey, Everett McGill, Corey Haim, Megan Follows

This is yet another film adaptation of a Stephen King book. The action focuses on wheelchair bound Marty and his family as they tangle with the local werewolf. There have been a number of suspicious murders in the town and the clueless cops are losing control. This is one of those films that´s so bad it´s highly entertaining. Gary Busey is one of my favourite actors and he plays Uncle Red, the alcoholic uncle with a heart of gold. The script is far from great and director Attias clearly didn´t have a big budget at his disposal but the story has a good twist and the film is well made. Silver Bullet is a really entertaining wee film, it´s not deep or particularly clever but it is a lot of fun.

Monster - it´s a cheap looking werewolf, man in a hairy rubber suit
