Based on Stephen King's novella CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF, SILVER BULLET concerns a small mountain community terrorized by a half-man/ half-beast of folklore. Young, wheelchair-bound Marty Coslaw (Corey Haim), after an encounter with the murderous lycanthrope, becomes saddled with the unfortunate knowledge of the beast's human alter ego. With some help from his sister (Megan Follows), his good hearted alcoholic uncle (Gary Busey), and his turbo-charged wheelchair, he sets out to rid the town of the murderous scourge. King also wrote the screenplay.
