got a good laugh out of me when they find out who the werewolf is and the sister says “What are we gonna do?” and the brother says “I think i know what to do” and it cuts to him writing a letter that says “Why don’t you kill yourself”
cameron fetterNov 11, 2023I wish the third act was longer because the conceit of “we literally only have one silver bullet and that’s it” is so good
Patrick WillemsApr 21, 2018Not my favorite werewolf jam of the 80’s, but a damn good one nonetheless, based on Stephen King’s Novella Cycle of the Werewolf, there’s some great moments in Silver Bullet—the baseball bat, the decapitated head flying, Everett McGill in every frame he’s in, Gary Busey…

HailliOct 17, 2026I spent Saturday at Sonny Acres with my bestie and whoa, it did NOT disappoint!! 😱🎃✨ Neither of us had been there since our college era, so driving up, we genuinely expected a basic farm setup—a total drop-and-dash situation where we’d grab a pumpkin and speed off to a…

Corey Haim (in a tricked out wheelchair) and his drunk uncle, Gary Busey, VS a bloodthirsty werewolf. Man, this sure is a fun Stephen King adaptation. Pretty crazy that I hadn't seen it before today. I think I would've been obsessed with this movie had I seen it as a…
Lou (doesn't rhyme with booh! 👻)Aug 16, 2023An alcoholic, a small town, supernatural elements, a narrator from the future, an 11-year-old hero, adults who don't believe what seems to be going on.. What’s missing is the writer and everything that characterizes a typical Stephen King movie would be in it. The mix of…

Most people would have An American Werewolf in London as their favorite werewolf movie, but this might narrowly edge it out for me, it’s not a 10/10, but I enjoyed the characters and it’s a fun watch, which can’t be said for most werewolf films. I want the silver bullet bad
Tuesday Bouch lovedSilver BulletDidn't realize it was an adaptation of Cycle of the Werewolf, a book I enjoyed quite a bit. Does a good job of staying true to that novella, but making the story work in a film context. Not my favorite werewolf story, but gets the job done.
Shadow Stokes lovedSilver BulletProbably the second best werewolf movie ever created right behind American werewolf in London. I mean from the story to the transformations this movie satisfies the inner wolf for sure. (I swear werewolves exist 😂)
- Orlando Ramone lovedSilver Bullet
One of my favorite werewolf movies ever made! The actual werewolf ends up looking more like a bear than a wolf, but it’s still a movie full of thrills and suspense.
Matt Ortiz is "meh" onSilver BulletSome of the dialogue in this is the wildest I’ve ever heard. This is a tonal and design hodgepodge that seems to just stumble along throughout the short runtime
Ava lovedSilver Bulletbest old horror movie ever pleaseeee watch this. ive been watching this movie since i was 10 and i wont stop now

One of Stephen Kings best aside from Carrie of course, but this movie was really enjoyable with great acting 👍
Scranton Strangler likedSilver BulletOne of my favorites as a kid and it really rides on the coat tails of the story telling.
Brett Bettendorf likedSilver BulletThat was a fun werewolf movie. The werewolf looked cool. Would rewatch for sure.

Most horror movies are exercises in unrelieved vulgarity, occasionally interrupted by perfunctory murders. This movie, to borrow an immortal comment by Mel Brooks, rises below vulgarity. If you are sick up to here of horror movies in general and Steven King in particular, this is the movie for you.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
A limp retelling of the werewolf legend that is about as frightening as a rubbery Richard Nixon mask.
