Corey Haim (back when he was still cute) and his souped-up hot-rod of a wheelchair are all that stand between a sleepy little New England town and a ferocious full-moon killer in Stephen King's adaptation of his novella <I>Cycle of the Werewolf</I>. This minor entry into the werewolf canon lacks the scares and sense of humor of superior hirsute thrillers <I>The Howling</I> and <I>An American Werewolf in London</I>, but pays off in some nice casting touches. Gary Busey is loyal to the end as Haim's beer-guzzling Uncle Red, <I>Twin Peaks</I>'s Everett McGill cuts an unsettling figure as the town minister, and fleshy B-movie icon Lawrence Tierney (<I>Reservoir Dogs</I>) is the gruff bartender who breaks up bar fights with a baseball bat called "The Peacemaker." The monstrous wolf beast, a towering mountain of fangs and fur, is the creation of Carlo Rambaldi (<I>E.T.</I>). <I>--Sean Axmaker</I>
Viewer Reviews This movie is an olde but a goodie. Just watched it again for the first time since I was a teen. Still as scary and great to watch as it was then. A must see for any King fan or horror/scary movie lover.
