![]() ![]() Gary Busey as their fun-drunk uncle makes up for many of the cliché small-town townspeople. Without characters spouting such lines as "Are you gonna make lemonade in your pants?" THE SHINING stands out from (most of the) other King adaptations during the 1980's yet King's cinematic tastes were more along the lines of MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE and SILVER BULLET, where other awful and downright embarrassing comments are uttered by equally banal characters.Įverette McGill is fantastic in SILVER BULLET as Reverend Loweīut SILVER BULLET is an otherwise solid, entertaining werewolf picture, despite the screenplay where Megan Follows as the jealous older sister of crippled, wheelchair-bound Corey Haim, provides a cornball adult narration that, while perfect for STAND BY ME, has absolutely no place here. ![]() despite the fact it is very much his movie adapted from King's novel the author especially loathed the casting of Jack Nicholson, being a too-obvious choice for a man going crazy since being crazy's his forte but perhaps it was also the dialogue. Stephen King famously hates Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING because it's not Kubrick's. Title: SILVER BULLET Year: 1985 Rating: **** ![]()
