Rating:  - Surprisingly Decent Film
There are so few films in the horror film werewolf sub-genre. Moviegoers seem to prefer their movie monsters in the (lame) form of a quasi dead bisexual outfitted in black Dolce and trolling for sex and blood. Werewolves have always been the underdog (no pun intended). There are only a few really good films: American Werewolf in London, The Howling and The Wolf Man. While this film is no where near the exceptional work of the aforementioned it does stand on its own rather well. I don't want to ... Read More
Rating:  - Very well done and vastly underrated werewolf film....
When I first saw this movie as a kid, I don't think I was experienced enough in my film viewing life to give it it's proper due. I remember being a bit dissapointed with it, though admitting that the werewolf lokked cool. Yet, like so many others I passed it off as a throw-away fare with no lasting merit.
Flash forward nine or so years and I have this nagging urge to view the movie again. Unable to find it at any video stores, I knew my best bet was to go to the Circuit City where I ... Read More

BAD MOON
I have been a werewolf kick lately going back through the collection to watch all my werewolf films. Of course The Howling collection is in there as well as others like the classic Wolf man and such. But when I came across this lost classic I had to watch it again, this is honestly one of the best werewolf movies of all time. Based on the book by Wayne Smith called "Thor" this film is a quick straight forward action packed werewolf flick. I really enjoy this movie every time ... Read More
Rating:  - Disappointing
After hearing about how Bad Moon was one of those "overlooked gems of the 90's", and realizing that Eric Red (one of the minds behind 80's cult classics The Hitcher and Near Dark) had directed it and wrote the screenplay, I finally decided to check it out. Werewolf movies are generally a dime a dozen, regardless of the era. Besides classics like An American Werewolf in London and the original Howling, there isn't a whole lot else that stands out in the genre. Bad Moon sadly isn't any different. ... Read More
Rating: - Lycanthropy: The disease that keeps on giving!
First off, I must disagree with many other reviewers. I think the acting in this film is mostly servicable and even quite good at moments and all of the actors in this film gave the director exactly what he wanted. I just think that what the Director (Eric Red) wanted wasn't very good (whether due to time/financial constraints or inexperienced directing I can't say). All of that said and despite Eric Red's rushed pace, Michael Pare had a couple of shining moments, the highlight taking place at the ... Read More
