I've never really been sold on a werewolf movie but this is perhaps the best one of the bunch as it has oodles of old movie charm to prop it up.

There is plenty to like about Silver Bullet, it may just be a reflection of the time when it was made or King's presentation but it has a very similar feel to Cujo. At least in my opinion.

Funny to watch a 'kid' driving a motorised wheelchair/rocket down the road through today's community standards, no one was 'thinking of the children'.

The movie though wins 100 percent on the efforts of Gary Busey. He is the film, the fun, excitment, drama and action are all his :)

Gothic is an atmospheric, psychological horror film that delves into the mysterious night when Mary Shelley conceived the idea for her novel Frankenstein.

While the film captures the gothic tone effectively with dark, eerie visuals and a haunting score, its narrative struggles to maintain coherence.

The story is intriguing but often feels muddled, with surreal elements that leave more questions than answers.

The performances, particularly by Gabriel Byrne and Natasha Richardson, are solid, but the pacing can drag. Fans of gothic horror may appreciate its look, but others may find it less satisfying, good for fans of the actors only :)

Now this is movie watching 101. To learn everything about this movie without actually watching it, look at the poster.

Analyze who are the leads, look at their expressions, think about it for a few moments and you will know EXACTLY what the go is for this movie.

The movie is not as great as the cast would suggest but it is solid enough.

Hackman is the one cast member actually given enough to work with to shine whereas Freeman and Monica Bellucci don't quite get the screen time to deliver something memorable.

Also not the best use of Thomas Jane.

If you like the cast you will like the movie :)
