Bad Moon is an American horror film released in 1996. The plot involves a family man who struggles to overcome his curse.
The film is based on the novel Thor by Wayne Smith, which tells the story from the dog's viewpoint. Thor was published in the United States (Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's Press hardback, Ballantine paperback), and in the U.K., Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway, in German, Dutch, Swedish and Norwegian.
Plot
While on an expedition in Nepal, a photo-journalist (Michael Paré) and his girlfriend are attacked by a werewolf that kills her and savagely bites him. The researcher moves back to the Pacific Northwest to live in isolation with his lycanthropy until his well-intentioned sister (Mariel Hemingway) invites him to stay with her and her son (Mason Gamble) to get over the grief of losing his lover. Things soon begin to go bad, especially when the family dog, a big German Shepherd named Thor, just can't accept the werewolf among them, so they decide to fight among themselves.
Rating
The MPAA rated this film an R for "horror violence and gore, breif language, and a scene of sexuality". Originally the film was issued an NC-17 rating, so a few seconds of graphic sex and violence were cut from the pre-title sequence.
