Good review! It's surprising to me how many people continue to find Silver Bullet for the first time when it's been around since 1985. It's surprising how good Haim is as Marty. Even though I enjoyed him as an actor, he was never what I'd call great. Plus it is one of Busey's best roles IMO.

I do wish you'd given a shout out to Every McGill as Reverand Lowe though. Great character/performance. In general I actually think this is one of the few times where the movie is actually better than the SK book. The short novella "Cycle of the Werewolf" doesn't have nearly as much depth as the movie does IMO.

the "wolf" costume was terrible though.

For the life of me I cannot remember the wolf costume at all. I just expect very little from most Stephen King movies I was happy at least I enjoyed this one!

Cool.
