The Runestone: Disappointing effort
The Runestone is one of those early 90's efforts that relied on lighting effects to disguise the dreadful creature. It's a really messy feature that gets by barely on its decent cast.
Telling the story of a man who makes a deal with a Runestone and becomes the Norse creature known as Fenrir which lore has it is a fierce wolf yet in this appears more yeti-like.
William Hickey and Peter Riegert put on their usual excellent performances and the latter some much needed comic relief. Remember that long blonde haired head henchman from the original Die-hard film? Well he hams it up here as well and is almost as bad as the creature itself.
Generally features of this type from this period I found entertaining but this is an absolute mess from start to the extremely poor finale.
The Good:
William Hickey
Peter Riegert
The Bad:
Poor plot
Fenrir looks pretty damn terrible
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Modern art is not subjective it's stupid and pretentious
Giant monsters can easily sneak into the backseat of your car while you're in it without you noticing
