Werewolf by Tarker Mills is an American horror film released in 1985. It is based on the short story The Year of the Werewolf by Stephen King .

action

The American small town of Tarker Mills in the state of Maine is haunted by an eerie and inexplicable series of murders: horrific corpses are always found on full moon nights - the killer obviously makes no distinction between young and old, male or female. Only the paralyzed, wheelchair- bound Marty suspects early on that a werewolf might be up to mischief in Tarker Mills.

The city's population is in a panic and, heavily armed, decides at night to find the killer themselves. The owner of a bar also takes part in this. In addition to his firearm, he also has his famous baseball bat with the inscription Peacemaker (“peacemaker”) with him. The bar owner and two other vigilantes are killed at night. Then you see the young priest Reverend Lowe who has nightmares about werewolves at night.

After the city is paralyzed with fear, the annual fireworks are canceled. Marty drives his tuned motorized wheelchair onto a bridge at night to set off a few fireworks himself. The werewolf attacks Marty, but Marty can shoot a fireworks rocket at him at the last second . This burns out the left eye of the werewolf. Marty escapes and spends the rest of the night shivering at home.

The next day, Marty's sister brings the Reverend empty cans and waste glass, which he collects in his garage for charity. The Reverend wears a bandage over his left eye. In the garage, Jane has the impression of smelling an animal. She also discovers the murdered bar owner's splintered baseball bat among the recyclables. She stares at the Reverend in horror and goes home. The fear in Jane's eyes does not remain hidden from the Reverend either.

Marty and his sister start sending threatening letters to the Reverend. They reveal their actions to their uncle, who does not believe them and thinks they are crazy.

Reverend Lowe now suspects Marty to be responsible for the threatening letters and tries to murder him with his car. He chases him into a covered bridge and admits there that he is the werewolf. Just before he can murder Marty, a farmer appears and the Reverend disappears. The uncle turns to the sheriff and tells him Marty's story. The sheriff thinks this story is crazy, but he goes after it anyway. He enters the Reverend's garage at night and discovers the traces of paint left by Marty's wheelchair. When the reverend suddenly appears, the sheriff wants to arrest him. The Reverend knocks the gun out of his hand and turns into a werewolf in front of the horrified law enforcement officer. The werewolf then kills the sheriff with the baseball bat.

The children ask their uncle for help. He has a silver bullet made by an old gunsmith .

During the final attack of the werewolf on Marty, his sister and her uncle, Marty succeeds in killing the werewolf with a shot with a silver bullet. After his death, the werewolf turns back into the Reverend.

criticism

Roger Ebert wrote: “Stephen King's Silver Bullet is either the worst movie ever made from a Stephen King story, or the funniest. [...] It's bad. But it's not routinely bad. ”(Translator: Stephen King's Silver Bullet is either the worst film ever to emerge from a Stephen King story, or the funniest. […] It's bad. But it's not routinely bad .)

The lexicon of the international film said: "A mixture of thriller and detective story, which misses the nuances of the werewolf myth, the conflict between the animal nature of man and the only acquired civilization."
