Review of Bad Moon (1996) by Renzo V — 31 Mar 2014

"MY UNCLE, THE WEREWOLF".

- 'Bad Moon' is a 1996 horror film directed by Eric Red (100 Feet). The film is based on the novel 'Thor' by Wayne Smith and tells the a werewolf tale from a dog's point of view. No big surprises, just a simple horror film with nice effects, appropriate for a night of scary entertainment with a B cast. Starring Michael Paré (Bloodrayne, 100 Feet) and Mariel Hemingway (Superman iV). Always thrust the dog's instinct...

During an expedition in Nepal, photo-journalists Ted (Paré) and his girlfriend Marjorie are attacked by a werewolf. While the beast is tearing Marjorie to pieces, Ted, who got bitten in the shoulder, is able to crawl towards a shotgun and shoots the head of the werewolf off.

Not long after the events, Ted goes back to the States, where he lives in a trailer on a deserted lake-site. His sister Janet (Hemingway), her son Brett and the family dog Thor come to visit him. The dog immediately senses that there is something wrong with Ted. A couple of days later, Ted comes with his trailer to Janet's house, after she invited him because the forest where he was staying is being terrorized by some kind of animal. Little does Janet know that the murderous monster is actually a lot closer than she thinks...
