Another of the Stephen King Stable of stories, this one starring Gary Busey (Point Break) and Corey Haim (Prayer of the Rollerboys, Lost Boys. R.I.P) with an appearance from Terry O'Quinn (Lost & West Wing).
Plot: Set in a quaint small town in America, where everyone likes everyone, murders begin occurring. Gruesome murders, heads flying off shoulders etc. Cue our hero, Corey Haim. On this occasion, Corey rides a suped up wheelchair, is around 11 years old and his uncle is Gary Busey. Not ya typical werewolf story, at least, not typical in that the hero is disabled.
Effects wise...so-so. Some of the transformation stuff is good, but at one point it looks like our bad guy is wearing a bear head or something equally rubbish.
Ok, not bad, no real zing to it, but the stand alone scene has to be when the fog engulfed lynch mob are attacked...watch out for the baseball bat, awesome!
Budget: $7,000,000
Gross: $12,361,563
Fun Fact: Gary Busey ad-libbed most of his lines, to the delight of the director, Daniel Attias and Stephen King. Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, Bubba Ho-Tep)was the original director, quitting when the were-wolf designs fell behind and progress stalled.
