Bad Moon (1996)

*** (out of 4)

I've been wanting to check this film out since it was first released but for some odd reason I'm just now getting around to watching it and I really wish I had watched it sooner. A single mother (Mariel Hemingway) and her young son (Mason Gamble) are happy when her brother (Michael Pare) comes to stay with them. However, the pet German Shepard isn't so thrilled because he knows the brother is a werewolf. I was really surprised to see myself so caught up in the film but it actually works on many levels. For starters, the film is a throwback to the old days and thankfully the running time is under 80-minutes so there's nothing here that drags down the action and story. The performances are all very good with Pare giving the best performance of the humans. The real star of the film is the dog who turns in one of the greatest performances from an animal that I've seen. The CGI werewolf transformation is pretty bad but I really enjoyed everything else. You've got some violent death scenes with a nice amount of gore as well. Director Eric Red previously wrote the screenplays for The Hitcher, Near Dark and Body Parts.
