The Howling Review

The Howling [1981] Directed by: Joe Dante Starring: Dee Wallace, Patrick Macnee, Dennis Dugan, Robert Picardo, Elizabeth Brooks, John Carradine, and Belinda Balaski

🐺Karen is in cahoots with the police to capture her stalker and baddie Eddie Quist. During the sting operation it leaves Eddie "dead" and Karen suffering from amnesia. Her therapist suggests she goes to a secluded getaway known as "the Colony." Arriving at the Colony it appears normal but as the plot truly transforms so does some of the characters or possibly the whole colony? Can Karen ever find a resolution or will she become werewolf fodder. Tune in and find out!🐺

I loved the gritty transformation sequences. Detailed and interesting. Not many kills. This is another one of those films that slipped my radar. I think the idea behind the colony was an interesting spin on werewolves.

Overall not half bad. 7/10
