Meh...I graded it on overall werewolfieness. While I agree "Dog Soldiers" is a hell of allot better in terms of horror, "Bad Moon" IMO is a better werewolf flick.
Reasons.
1: The werewolf in "Bad Moon" is one killer costume. IMO it is the best looking werewolf on film I have seen so far. (not that the were's in Dog Soldiers weren't awesome as well.)
2: You get to see that awesome costume allot in "Bad Moon". If it is one thing I hate is not getting enough werewolf (or other creature) in the movie. I mean come on they are the star right?!
3: I enjoyed the story better than "Dog Soldiers". The book "Thor" by Wayne Smith, which "Bad Moon" is based on is also a great story.
4: The movie "Bad Moon" also dispelled allot of the werewolf myths such as, silver bullets are needed to kill a werewolf, only a full moon will induce a transformation, etc. etc. I like movies that do this to the legends. Which is why I enjoyed "Teen Wolf" as well, but I decided to leave that off this list because it just isn't horror.
