The Howling Reviews |
"The Howling" is a somber, layered and reference-filled flick with a whoop-ass finale. It’s not an action movie, so those of you expecting rabid werewolf's going Coo-Coo for Co-Co Blood will be disappointed. But if you're looking for a well communicated story filled with chills, brains, a likeable female lead and Grade-A werewolf transformations...you’ve come to the right dog park. Not only a solid werewolf film…a solid film period! [read review]  --'The Arrow' (Arrow)
...a movie both expertly crafted and exceedingly entertaining, as fun as it is frightening. Every facet of the film works perfectly, creating a satisfying experience seldom found in any horror movie, let alone a werewolf picture. [read review] --John Dedeke (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
This nearly classic werewolf film, which came out the same year as John Landis' "American Werewolf in London," is the last great, serious lycanthropy film. ... "Howling" may be a B-movie, but is dead serious about its subject. [read review] -- (eSplatter.com)
A good werewolf flick, although the werewolf action doesn't start until about half the movie. A little slow, but starts to pick up after the first half. Worth a watch just on the werewolf transformation alone. [read review] 7/10 --FrighT MasteR (UHM)
Kind of interesting low-budgeter only manages to be fitfully entertaining despite the names involved. [read review]  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
