Good little Fim

Based on the book by Stephen King,Silver Bullet is the story about A young cripple Boy named Marty(Corey Haim) who suspects that the killer in town is a werewolf.With the help of his sister Jane(Megan Follows) And Uncle Red(Gary Busey),They try to discover who the werewolf is and try to kill it...

This is not a perfect movie,But it is a fun movie.The acting was pretty good,The kills were gory and cool,The werewolf affects were pretty cool,And it played out like a good mystery.The end was pretty cool and the car chasing scene was cool.If your a fan of werewolf movies or Stephen King,You should cheek it out.The werewolf beating the guys with the bat was kind of funny to.
