Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie made many significant changes from the novel, particularly in the make-up of the family, which in the novel consisted of two parents and three children, as well as the dog, who sees the family as his pack, which must be defended at all costs. The dog's perceptions of events are treated in great detail, as is the relationship between him and his human family, and his confusion as to whether the werewolf is a threat to his family that must be eliminated, or a pack member who must be respected. These subtleties mainly did not make it into the film.

Featured review
This was spectacular...
Wow. How did this 1996 horror movie "Bad Moon" manage to elude me up until now late in 2021? That was just a grave mistake on my account, because I have really been missing out on a great movie here.
Oddly enough with my fascination and admiration of the horror genre, then I actually never have stumbled upon this movie from writer and director Eric Red before now in 2021, 25 years after the movie was initially released. And boy had I been missing out.
The storyline told in "Bad Moon" was good. It was a nicely composed story that felt wholesome, interesting and engaging. And I will actually say that "Bad Moon" is one of the better werewolf movies that I have seen in a long, long time. So if you enjoy werewolf movies, then you most certainly should sit down to watch "Bad Moon", if you haven't already.
The movie was nicely carried by the performance of lead actor Michael Paré (playing Ted) and actress Marial Hemingway (playing Janet). I have to say that I was really impressed with Michael Paré's performance in "Bad Moon". And also the dog Primo (playing Thor) in the movie was really putting on a spectacular performance. Talk about a very well-trained dog.
Now, for a movie from 1996, then the special effects in "Bad Moon" were still holding their ground here in 2021. I was really impressed with the special effects and the design of the werewolf and how it was made to look. Actually, this is how werewolf movies should be made.
I was more than genuinely entertained by "Bad Moon".
My rating of "Bad Moon" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.
