Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Páiric O'Corráin Howl: A pretty good English Werewolf film! Horror on the midnight express as it breaks down in the middle of a forest. The driver goes to investigate but is swiftly devoured by a Werewolf. The rest of the crew and passengers then attempt to survive the onslaught of the creatures.People are dragged through windows, after being bitten an old woman turns into a Werewolf. Blood, guts, limbs are thrown about. The Werewolves are more human-like in this case but having wolves teeth and triple jointed legs. In the early stages of transformation they look more like Zombies.Directed by Paul Hyett known mostly for his special make up effects on Doomsday, The Children and The Descent. Definitely one to see. 8/10

Stevieboy666 I don't know why Howl is described as being fantasy, comedy, horror here on IMDb - it's a HORROR film, and a damn good one at that! I like that the film makers have been creative with the creatures, but I don't like Sean Pertwee's part being nothing more than a cameo, despite star billing.

Paul Magne Haakonsen "Howl" is a glorious return to the old school type of werewolf movie, and it was definitely a return to the ways when werewolf movies were made efficiently and interestingly.Now, while starts out fairly slow, don't give up on the movie easily, because it takes a little while for it to get up into gear. But once it has gotten in gear, it sky rockets off for a thrill ride of great speed and with lots of thrills and excitement.The atmosphere that director Paul Hyett managed to establish in "Howl" was just phenomenal. There is a real sense of dread and fear permeating the movie, especially as the werewolves close in on the individuals trapped in the train. And the fact that most of the movie takes place in the small confined space of a train just adds to the atmosphere and to the sense of claustrophobia and despair.As for the story in "Howl", well it was quite straight forward. It seemed like it was an homage to the classic werewolf movies; the movies that I grew up with and loved. So it was particularly great to watch "Howl".The effects in the movie were quite good, and again really captured the essence of the way Hollywood used to make werewolf movies. So it was indeed a treat to behold on the screen. And the werewolves actually had quite an interesting conceptual design, and the special effects team managed to create something really great.They also had a pretty good ensemble of cast to portray the various characters and roles in the movie. I enjoyed watching Sean Pertwee in yet another werewolf movie, although it was a shame that he was not one of the main cast and only had a smaller role in the movie."Howl" turned out to be quite a nice surprise of a movie, and it is definitely a worthy addition to the werewolf genre. If you haven't seen "Howl" already and if you enjoy the werewolf movies from the 1980s and 1990s, then "Howl" will definitely appeal to you.

TdSmth5 A bunch of people are stuck in a train when it breaks down out somewhere in the country, at night of course. We meet the controller who didn't get a promotion, instead a jerk of a colleague did. He's also interested in a girl who works with him. There's an elderly couple, some annoying girl, some take-charge business guy and other, even lesser characters.The conductor goes outside to check the problem--some type of fluid leak. He doesn't fare well. About 55 minutes into the movie, the action starts.One woman is bitten in the leg another is dragged out of a window. The elderly woman is bitten and then begins transforming, eventually. A werewolf makes it inside the train and is killed. At some point some of the characters decide to walk to the station. Then more werewolves appear and things get more violent. We have to deal with the usual drama among some of the characters--some won't act, others look out only for their own skin, and others do care for everyone's safety.There's a bit of a surprise about who will survive in the end. But there's really not much going on here. For a whole train we only meet a few undeveloped characters. Things improve once the horror starts, not that things get particularly scary, but we're talking nearly one hour into the movie. The creatures though look very cool, cooler in the distance than up close but otherwise Howl doesn't have a whole lot to offer.
