Critics' reviews

"Perhaps the major disappointment of Silver Bullet is that it never gets as bad as the beginning promises. From playing on the precipice of so-bad- it's-good, Silver Bullet bobs up to the level of conventionally mediocre- bad"

Liam Lacey: The Globe and Mail
"This movie, to borrow an immortal comment by Mel Brooks, 'rises below vulgarity.' If you are sick up to here of horror movies in general and Steven King in particular, this is the movie for you."

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"A dismal and woefully inept werewolf picture."

Bill Cosford: TV Guide
"A limp retelling of the werewolf legend that is about as frightening as a rubbery Richard Nixon mask."

Rick Kogan: Chicago Tribune
"What follows is about as suspenseful as looking at your watch to see which minute will pop up next."

Paul Attanasio: The Washington Post
