Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
lennietofft The three previous films had beautiful scenery, they were imaginative, unique. This one just appears dull and boring in comparison. There is almost no action, and no special effects until the very end, which makes it more like a drama than a horror film. Those who like mystery/drama may like this, but for those who enjoy horror films, there's too little out of the ordinary going on for the most of the time. The quality of the film as a whole, is more at a level you'd expect from an episode of a series, than you would from a film.
Rainey Dawn This film is terrible. I got more entertainment out of parts 2 and 3 - at least they were comical - this one is just flat out boring. I give them credit for trying to create a serious, non campy, werewolf flick but why so boring, so drab? I saw this one years ago and I couldn't recall anything about it, tried watching it again recently and now I know why the film didn't stand out in my mind - it's just bad.The lead male looks like David Copperfield's long lost illegitimate son. The lead female is rather bland - but then again so is the rest of the cast.I think I'll just leave this one in the past where it belongs. Not worth finishing the movie - leave it as a distant, fading memory.2/10
bettyboop-04186 Seriously, I want the 90 minutes of my life back that I just watched. This film is so badly written, I could have fallen asleep in the first 10 minutes. The acting is like a really bad soap opera, worse than the bold and the beautiful. There is no tone or pace, and no action happens until the last 10 minutes.It is not scary at all, and highly laughable, not a credit to the horror or werewolf franchises at all.The effects I suppose are decent for its time, there is s melting scene that was OK, but other than that, I think an episode of in the night garden is more scary ;)
Amityville15 Haunted by a series of unnatural happenings, a young author, Marie Adams heads for the sanctuary of a rural hideout in a desperate bid to regain her sanity - but only to find a horror much more deadly than her own deranged imaginings. From the depths of the forest it's calling and waiting for the full moon, to hunt Marie down and to take her on a terrifying journey into the gaping jaws of death. As night descends, the howling rises again to shatter the stillness of the night.This film starred: Romy Windsor, Michael T. Weiss & Anthony Hamilton.I have seen the first 4 howling films and this is my favourite one although I still don't like it. In my opinion best to worst is like this (so far as I have not seen some of the sequels)...Howling 4 Howling Howling 3 Howling 2This film is not really recommended.**/***** Poor.
