After an encounter with the murderous werewolf, wheelchair-bound Marty Coslaw (Corey Haim) becomes saddled with the unfortunate knowledge of the beast's human alter ego. With some help from his sister (Megan Follows), his goodhearted alcoholic uncle (Gary Busey), and his turbo-charged wheelchair, he sets out to rid the town of the murderous scourge. King also wrote the screenplay. [More]

Reviews for Silver Bullet
A horror flick for young fans who aren't quite prepared for the really scary stuff.
Still a great horror film, in spite of being rather dated, especially in special effects.
feels episodic and slight, little more than a slasher movie in which the slasher is a lycanthrope
