Customer Reviews

It was the last full moon of the spring of 1976.

The movie starts with hallmark-type music and voice-over narration. It was not the narration of the 1950s sci-fi movie, but more of the narration of a hallmark sisterly love. We finally got into the movie. You can tell that it is a Stephen King movie because of the excessive potty mouth. This can be overlooked if they would hurry up and get into the biting parts, and so they do. As far as the movies are concerned, this is the standard formula: “anyone can be the biter until they turn up as the bitee, and we know they are not the biter, but there are fewer potential bitees left. This movie does try to get down on the kids' level. And it uses all the standard gimmicks, such as the kids can tell that it is a werewolf, but the parents do not believe them. Then it becomes a little more tongue-in-cheek. They even toss in a little slapstick. The question is, will the culprit(s) getaway or face “the silver bullet” One of the advantages of being based on a Stephen King novella, “Cycle of the Werewolf,” is that Stephen King always keeps the spooky doings close to the realm of possibility. He also has a fascination with cars. We began this movie with Hallmark-type music. Now ending credits with elevator music “Joyride” by Rob B. Mathes (whoever he is).
