A small town is experiencing some mysterious deaths. The authorities believe a killer is on the loose but young wheelchair bound Marty Coslaw(Corey Haim) seems to think there could be a werewolf involved, his crazy alcoholic uncle Red doesn't believe him but agrees to help him solve the case. Another Stephen King adaptation, this time of his "Cycle of the werewolf" novella. The film is very 80's with the usual comic leanings but there's still enough of a werewolf plot to keep you interested, even if the identity of the lycanthrope isn't disguised to well. SFX are average for the time, Gary Busey takes the acting plaudits here, Haim is lightweight but perfect for the role.
