DVD Reviews of Silver Bullet

DVD Review: Put down the silver bullets because the only way to stop a werewolf is uncle Gary Buesy
Summary: 5 Stars

Of one the most intense creatures in the horror world has to be the werewolf. What could be worse then having a huge, fast, blood thirsty man beast hunting you down? On top of there size and other beastly features they can sniff you out no matter where you try to hide. That's certainly enough reason to fear the wolfman also making him a must during Sid's personal horror film festival (this being the 10th on the season). Now there's a lot out there in the wolf department but when given the option to see a young Corey Haim team up with Gary Busey there really was no other choice as far as we're concerned.

Silver Bullet takes place in the small town of Tarker's Mill that seems to have nothing interesting going on. Marty Coslaw (Corey Haim) is a young handicapped kid who lives at home with his parents and sister and is viewed as helpless. We'd have to suspect his experience from playing a paraplegic here helped him very much today when he pretends to be a crippled war vet begging for change outside a local diner. Anyway, a lot of extreme murders begin to take place putting the towns folk in fear. As they hunt for the killer it is soon discovered by Marty that a werewolf is doing the murders. So naturally his first option is to enlist the help of his drunk uncle Red (Busey). With a team compiled of a handicapped kid, his sister, and wasted uncle Busey how can you go wrong?

Despite the jokes Silver Bullet was a killer flick packed with some great wolf action and laughs. Unlike most, this one doesn't waste anytime with the wolf as we see a decapitation within the first 3 mins! That right there is something revered by Sid in any film. Not only was the werewolf kick a** but Gary Busey is so entertaining to watch. Especially when he builds his nephew a motorcycle wheel chair to tear around town in. Sure came in handy when he had to run from the werewolf. This one is a great choice for any fan of the genre especially if you want to see a still somewhat sane Busey on screen. Even have to give it to Haim to was really good too. Unfortunately seems he shot all his talent away early on leaving him too bad to even get cast in a horrible B. Due to the great enjoyment this one get's close with the Drive-In Totals:

2 Decapitations

1 preacher moonlighting as a werewolf

7 shotgun bearing drunk werewolf hunting rednecks, 1 getting caught in bear trap

Illegal fireworks smuggled by drunk Uncle Gary Busey

4.5 bottles of Wild Turkey downed

hand crafted motorcycle wheelchair

3 fantastic werewolf murders within the first half hour

and a body count total of 9

DVD Review: Silver Bullet
Summary: 5 Stars

I grew up with this movie, with Corey Haim and uncle Red. Makes me all fuzzy inside and still scary. Good movie and fast delivery.

DVD Review: Wonderful King Adaptation
Summary: 4 Stars

Silver Bullet (1985) is a very good movie. The acting is top-notch. Corey Haim is very sincere and gives a great performance as Marty, the wheelchair-ridden, yet exuberant main character. Megan Follows gives a strong, believable job as Jane, Marty's stressed and responsiblity-pounded sister. Gary Busey, once againm, is extremely likeable as the kids' hard-drinking uncle who spoils Marty. Everett McGill is great as the town reverand, who is the werewolf. He does a good job making you think that he actually believes that he is saving people's souls from hell and doesn't want to be a werewolf. The werewolf effects are a little cheezy, but this is countered by keeping the werewolf in the shadows. The music comes on as a little sappy at a few points, but all around it is effective. With good suspense and good pacing, Silver Bullet is a win.

DVD Review: One of the Best Werewolf Movies Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm a bit biased since I have been a fan of this movie for so many years, but I truly believe that this is one of the best werewolf movies ever! It never gets old and has a lot of memorable scenes. I am not a fan of Gary Busey, but I really do like him as Uncle Red. That Silver Bullet wheelchair motorcycle is awesome! Do you need a license to drive that? lol. Anyway, this is a highly recommended movie. After all, it is based on a story by Stephen King!

Description of Silver Bullet

A BOY IN A WHEELCHAIR STOPS A WEREWOLF WITH HIS UNCLE AND SISTER. FROM A STEPHEN KING STORY.

Corey Haim (back when he was still cute) and his souped-up hot-rod of a wheelchair are all that stand between a sleepy little New England town and a ferocious full-moon killer in Stephen King's adaptation of his novella Cycle of the Werewolf. This minor entry into the werewolf canon lacks the scares and sense of humor of superior hirsute thrillers The Howling and An American Werewolf in London, but pays off in some nice casting touches. Gary Busey is loyal to the end as Haim's beer-guzzling Uncle Red, Twin Peaks's Everett McGill cuts an unsettling figure as the town minister, and fleshy B-movie icon Lawrence Tierney (Reservoir Dogs) is the gruff bartender who breaks up bar fights with a baseball bat called "The Peacemaker." The monstrous wolf beast, a towering mountain of fangs and fur, is the creation of Carlo Rambaldi (E.T.). --Sean Axmaker
