BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

MonsterVision99 A pretty good werewolf flick, one of the best from the 80's, not as good as American Werewolf in London (I don't think many werewolf films are) and on par with The Howling. Perhaps a little too predictable, and its not incredibly original either but manages to deliver us some great werewolf action, I really loved these scenes, they were suspenseful and the gore was fantastic (some of the attacks were funny and I don't know whether it was intentional or not but they were fun to watch nonetheless).I liked the kids in the film they did good, and I also loved Gary Busey in this, he's always a delight to watch.Roger Ebert liked this better than London and the Howling, and I like this one but I don't know what Roger found in this movie that made him rate this higher than those films. Anyway, Silver Bullet its an awesome movie, check it out if you haven't.

bsmith5552 "Silver Bullet" is an adaptation of a novella by horror meister Stephen King. King also wrote the screenplay for this film. And, it's a werewolf movie to boot.In the sleepy little town of Tarker's Mills where nothing ever happens, grisly murders begin to take place. First a railway worker is literally loses his head. Next a distraught but pregnant young girl Tammy Sturmfuller (Heather Simmons) is brutally murdered. Thirdly a young boy Brady Kincaid (Joe Wright) becomes the next victim. Brady was the playmate of Marty Coslow (Corey Haim) with whom teased Marty's sister Jane (Megan Follows) only hours before.The townspeople become alarmed. They believe the murderer to be some sort of madman however. Marty has reason to believe that the murderer is a werewolf. The townspeople form under Andy Fairton (Bill Smitrovich) and the dead boy's father Herb (Kent Broadhurst), a group that goes out into the night in search of the killer. They find him. Three of the searchers are murdered in the fog. Reverend Lowe (Everett McGill) and Sheriff Haller (Terry O'Quinn) try to calm the folks down.Marty, who is crippled and rides a souped up wheelchair built by his carefree uncle Red (Gary Busey) continues to believe in the werewolf theory. One night while setting off fireworks in an isolated spot, Marty is attacked by the werewolf but manages to put out his eye with a rocket (if you can believe it). Jane now convinced of the existence of the werewolf, searches for a man with an eye patch while collecting bottles for a bottle drive run by the local church. She finds him and.................................The identity of the werewolf is not hard to pick out even though his identity is revealed half way through the film. The real terror comes when he stalks young Marty. There is a fitting climax to the proceedings complete with a silver bullet.Lot's of blood and gore including a decapitation however, the actual murders are not seen, only the aftermaths. Still, its a scary movie.You have to wonder how the werewolf was initially infected, given that the murders suddenly materialize in the quiet little town without warning.

Rainey Dawn Silver Bullet is a really fun and pretty darn good werewolf flick. It does focus a bit on Marty Coslaw (Haim) a wheelchair bound boy, his relationship with his sister Meg (Follows) and Uncle Red (Busy) but this threesome will end up finding out who is the werewolf and become almost comical werewolf hunters in the end.What made this film besides the idea of watching a werewolf? Gary Busy as Uncle Red. He put on quite a show and made a really "cool" uncle. He's crazy in this one.Quite a few comical moments, some exciting one's but not a lot of werewolf action until the end of the film yet it's enjoyable to watch from start to finish.8/10

alikgines As i was only 5 years of age my grandma got this movie for us to watch. It gave my brother and sister and I nightmares for awhile after. I grew to love this film though, funny Gary Busy as Red, and Corey as Marty like lost boys its a great film. Its a must see i watched it on my 10th birthday party with my friends, right before Halloween. I love Stephen King movies, especially IT. They are usually with kids in it or teenagers so i was able to relate to it well. The unrated IT or R rated Silver Bullet arnt really that bad since i have seen worse in war films as a young kid. If you love classic horror films this is it, Everett Megill, is classic in this as the werewolf and he was awesome in people under the stairs another classic film. Have fun watching.
