It was adapted into the screenplay '' Silver Bullet ''. The movie was released in 1985 starring Corey Haim and Gary Busey, directed by Dan Attias. The story is set in the fictional small town of Tarker's Mills, Maine. A werewolf is viciously killing people and animals, a strange incident takes place at each full moon. The otherwise normal town is living in fear. The protagonist of the story is Marty (Haim), an eleven year old boy in a wheelchair. The story goes back and forth from the horror incidents to how this is affecting Marty's youthful day to day life. The town fireworks have been cancelled for the Fourth of July. This is very upsetting to Marty, who has been looking forward to them all year. Because he feels bad for the kid Marty's uncle (Busey) brings him fireworks with the warning to do it really late so his Mom won't find out. While outside enjoying his own private Fourth of July celebration, the werewolf attacks Marty who puts out his left eye with a bottle rocket. The werewolf gets away and the cops pay no mind to the report because they are looking for a human murderer, not a werewolf. Life goes on that summer, and the bloodshed continues with every full moon cycle. Fall comes and so does Halloween. With that, Marty goes trick or treating. And who does he see with an eyepatch but the Reverend Lowe (who does not recognize Marty because he is wearing a Yoda mask). Over the next couple of months Marty sends the pastor anonymous letters asking him why he doesn't kill himself, and the like. The last letter, in December, he signs. Unbeknownst to Reverend Lowe. Marty has convinced his Uncle (who is somewhat reluctant, but goes along for the ride) to have 2 silver bullets made for him and to come spend New Year's Eve (full moon) with him. Right before midnight the werewolf comes busting into the house to kill him and Marty shoots him twice, managing to completely blind and kill him. Note : Stephen King admits to having taken severe liberties with the lunar cycle for reasons of creative style. |
