Das Tier II

A man investigating the death of his sister, discovers she is a werewolf and part of a werewolf cult in Transylvanina. The make-up, effects, plot, acting, direction, etc. are either pretty much non-existent or down right silly, but the film is entertaining in a cheesy way and Danning rips off her clothes (again). Bonus at the end credits, that scene with Danning is repeated over and over again. 5 out of 10.

This is a pretty bad movie. But not so bad as it's reputation suggests. The production values aren't too bad and there is the odd effective scene. And it does have an 80's cheezoid veneer that means that it is always kind of fun. Watch out, too, for Jimmy Nail's brief appearance - his attempt at an American accent is so astoundingly rubbish it's fantastic. Fantastic too are Sybil Danning's breasts - they make a brief appearance in the movie but the scene is repeated umpteen times in the end credits in what can only be described as the 12" remix of Sybil Danning's boobs. Has to be seen to be believed. As a horror movie it isn't scary, the effects are silly and Christopher Lee turns up to sleepwalk through his performance. I guess he was buying a new house and needed some cash for the deposit. The two central characters - the man and the woman - were so negligible that I have forgotten almost everything about them and I just watched this movie earlier tonight. The werewolves are noticeably less impressive than in the original movie, in fact, bizarrely, they sometimes look more like badly burned apes. The eastern European setting is quite good and the music provided by the new wave band Babel, while being pretty terrible, does at least give the film some added cheese.

Overall? Good for a laugh. Not good quality but did you seriously expect it to be? And, at the very least, you've always got Sybil's knockers.

The first Howling is a classic and the second one, is well, not so much a classic but it is still entertaining. The brother of the main character from the first one is trying to figure out what happened to his sister. He teams up with her colleague and a werewolf hunter played by horror legend Christopher Lee.

They go to Transylvania to go after the most powerful werewolf, Stirba (Sybil Danning) and craziness ensues. There is a new wave band, gratuitous werewolf nudity and dwarves. One of the main problems for me is the recreation of the broadcast from the end of the first movie. It looks like someone wearing a cheap mask and the outfit isn't even the same if I remember correctly. I'm sure they didn't have the rights to use the clip from the original but they could have made it a little better in my opinion. Overall, The Howling 2 is decent enough to watch as long as you don't take it too seriously or expect it to be as good as the first film.

I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs.

Revisited it recently as i am on a Howling marathon.

This film doesnt have any scare, there is absolutely no tension or suspense.

This one has one of the best eyeball horror scene.

And that same scene is attached to another one where Sybil repeatedly shows off her boobs. It perfectly fits there as if the man's eyes are squirting blood due to Sybil's nudity.

Do check out the end credit scene where they repeatedly (17 times) show Sybil showing off her boobs and the various characters' facial n eye reactions are a big lol.

This is a direct sequel to the 1981 film The Howling and has the brother of the deceased Karen, who along with a werewolf hunter, try to defeat a werewolf queen Stirba and stop a werewolf group's plans to conquer the world.

The film is notorious for the atrocious acting of Reb Brown and Annie McEnroe.

Danning wearing sunglasses indoors n her outfits, specially the metallic armoured outfit will definitely make today's audiences lol.

The werewolves in this movie looked more like bigfoot, monkeys n men in monkey costumes.

I watched two Christopher Lee movies this weekend, Horror Hotel (Lee at his best) and Howling II (Lee at his worst). This is definitely the low point of the man's career. You can tell he did not want to be here and I feel so sorry for him. The "film" is pretty bad...but it's funny at the same time. I almost peed in my pants when Reb Brown (Captain America himself) ran into the room and screamed "BOO!!" The man is a comic genius and it's laugh out loud funny. Equally funny are the exploding dwarf, the drunken werewolf orgy, and the use of the eighties swipe (that device used to cut from scene to scene). We get some of the corniest swipes ever; a fan, diamond, swirl, and just the classic swipe are all used. Perhaps the funniest thing comes in the credits. The scene where Sybil Danning strips her clothes off is shown 10, count em, 10 times again over the credits. This does not compensate for the crappiness of the movie though. The most unbearable quality about the flick is the lighting. You can't see anything. If there is any werewolf action going on here, you can't see it! It's so dark and sometimes very painful to watch. Howling II is worth watching only if you're a Reb Brown fan or if you want to see Christopher Lee wearing some ridiculously cool eighties sunglasses, or maybe to see some Frankie Goes To Hollywood-lookin' band sing a song about "the pale, pale light of the moonglow."
