If you were asked,”What’s your favorite werewolf movie?” would you even think of 1996’s Bad Moon? Probably not. Before this year, I’d never heard of it. That’s a shame because it’s an above-average werewolf thriller that deserves more attention. It was released theatrically but received very little publicity. Not surprisingly,Continue Reading
