Bad Moon

This is an excellent werewolf flick! A nail biter for sure. Werewolf looks great and packs an intense punch that will leave you wanting more! Michael Pare is very good. This is one of his better films. Acting is solid and the direction is right on. A winning hit for wolfman fans! I highly recommend this to people who love scary, wolfy type movies. I hit this baby with a 10 spot!! Check it out!!

Even theres so many werewolf movies, this one i like too. I can get the child actor feelings, feeling afraid of werewolves will gonna get you at night.thats the point of horror from this movie.

I was positively impressed with just how well done the transformation into the werewolf was done. I am very familiar with werewolf movies from the ones done by Lon Chaney Jr. to the present day and this one was pretty effective. The plot was standard, but just how much can one change the werewolf saga? A good man is against his will unfortunately transformed into a murderous creature of the night, and even though he tries his best to control his urges, it is all to no avail, and in the end someone close to him has to end his bloody reign of terror. The acting by the principles was reasonable, and yes the German Shepherd, Thor, did steal the show, but again, so what? I would even enjoy watching it again!

I saw this for the first time recently n i agree that it was an ok werewolf film for the late 90s but the movie cant hold up due to the bad effects n lousy ending. I even showed the werewolf to my seven year old nephew n he dismissed it as a soft toy. Michael Pare was in good shape, the family house is picturesque but the tension n suspense is totally lacking. How Ted was able to get the same shoes after his shoes gets torned everytime he transforms is beyond me and it is an expensive affair man. Also Ted handcuffing himself so close to his sister's house is plain stupid. Another ridiculous stuff they added is that Ted transforms into a werewolf every single nite thereby removing the concept of full moon. Even the nudity n sex scene is lousy cos the makers were confused whether to make it a mild movie involving a family n their dog or go full out.

Bad Moon is a sorely underrated werewolf film that is like hidden treasure for werewolf and horror movie enthusiasts. I watched Bad Moon a few years back and did not expect it to become one of my favorite werewolf films - but it did. Maybe it helped because I like both Michael Paré (Eddie and the Cruisers) and Mariel Hemingway (Star 80) but maybe anyone could have acted out the parts and I would have still enjoyed Bad Moon anyway. If you are looking for modern-day, high dollar movie with tons of CGI effects - then this movie may not be for you. Bad Moon uses "old school" special effects that I still love to this very day. This is one of those movies I would enjoy watching again on a dark, rainy night with popcorn in hand. 9.5/10
