I'll admit that I saw this movie for the first time only recently after a huge referral from one of my best friends. Well, it was definitely a worthwhile rental, and I was not disappointed in the least. Forget the cheesy Tom Everett Scott remake, this is the one to watch. Chilling scenes of gruesome murders, surprising moments of dark humor, an expertly tuned witty script, and probably the best werewolf transformation scene captured on camera. I spoil nothing by revealing that Jack 's (Griffin Dunne) role is larger than you think. But you'll end up feeling sorrier for David (Naughton). Oh yeah . . . and the most appropriately fitting use of Creedence Clearwater Revival's Bad Moon Rising in the history of cinema.
