The Howling (1981)
5/10
My least favourite of the werewolf films.
5 June 2005
Right, well I am not the biggest werewolf lover, so it really is of no surprise when I found myself not caring much for this film after I viewed it. I had thought the effects were a bit funny at times and the pacing of the film was too slow for me. I found myself losing interest fast and was surprised I really made it to the end. However, after having a chat with a friend of mine, he had informed me that the effects were done by an understudy because Rick Baker had gone off to do An American Werewolf in London (now THAT is a good film). So upon learning this I have a little more appreciation for them...but I still find them to have been funny at times. If you love werewolves then most likely you will like this film because it offers an interesting take on the "monster", but if you are like me and don't really care much, then I wouldn't rush myself into seeing it. 5.5/10
