I have no problems with college looking movies. After all, the Blair Witch Project was a classic. First problem with this movie is the name. The Howling was a classic movie first released in 1981. If a movie can't even think of an original name and uses a classic, you know there are problems. The story line was weak, the filming looked cheap and characters such as Baron Rathbone IV were laughable and demonstrated some of the worse acting I have ever seen. Run, don't walk from your movie. You will be upset that you wasted the time.

I am a Doctor and the Medics fan, which is why I saw this movie. Oh how the mighty have fallen. It is so sad to see the desperation of washed up 80's stars to try to regain glory. It is even sadder to see Clive Jackson to be proud of this mess. The movie looks like it was shot by high school students. With no budget. Actually, high school students would have done a better job. Poor story line, poor acting, poor character development. It shows anybody can make a movie.

Steven M Smith is a prolific UK producer of Horror and gangster genre movies, predominantly based in or around East London, Kent and Essex. The Howling is an artistic portrayal of a horror movie with shades of Nosferatu and other classic horror influences. Some great character work particularly by JP Gates. Recommended to all lovers of the genre.

In the presentation we are already informed that this is a B movie, as a tribute to the 60s, I intend to watch the original version of The Howling, from 1981, the script is reasonable, the production is crude, but if you don't take it seriously , we embarked on Ed Wood's films, blood, guts, high-pitched screams, mean interpretations, passionate...

Being black and white we miss out on seeing Tiffany-Ellen Robinson's lovely red hair. It's a shame. The film is a little bit campy. It has a plot. Not much of a plot but it has one. You can tell some thought was put into this and that they're seriously trying to make an homage to 1960's horror. Also it's British and seems independent so it's not going to be a Hollyweird piece is it. I found the film to be reasonably watchable. You certainly couldn't predict what was going to happen. Why they called it the Howling is baffling. I thought going in oh no not another werewolf film. And thankfully it's not. It's more like the Island of Dr. Mauro than the Howling. It deserves a 6/10 as it's slightly original and a bit different. It's certainly no worthy of the 1/10 scores being dropped all over in the other reviews. If you know horror from the last century you can tell what this was about.

Curious about a special story, a group of friends decide to investigate the truth about a series of rumors involving a mad doctor's experiments and genetic mutations taking place in the area, and when they stumble upon his whereabouts realize that they're intended to be the next experiments.

This was a solid and enjoyable, effective indie outing. One of the finer features with this one is the old-school setup in its approach to the storyline, which is a fun way of paying homage to the previous outings in the genre while offering something unique and different. Not only is this strikingly well accomplished on a technical level with the old-school black-and-white photography capturing everything in that kind of environment, but there's also a way of bringing about the urban legend of the doctors' experiments that have affected the locals. With his work becoming quite prominent in the area, under the numerous reports and investigations into his history of cruelty towards others, which all become enjoyable enough for what's at stake. By the time they get to the special laboratory and are exposed to what's going on, there's a lot of fun to be had with the slow realization about the horrific experiments conducted by the doctor. Featuring the maniacal doctor looking to genetically mutate and transform others into bizarre, grotesque monstrosities, which is what gets paid off here with the deformed outcasts of the experiments. Seeing the malformed, inhuman beasts with animal traits including fur, fangs, unnatural appendages, or other signs of clear-cut animalistic outcomes gives this a solid touch that's decidedly playing into the formula found in those old-school genre classics, leading to a series of impressive images throughout here. These are all enough to make for some positive factors here, even though there are some factors keeping this down. The main issue here is that there's such a disappointing tempo and pacing on display that the film is severely difficult to get into. The opening stretches on forever with the group going around the countryside enjoying sexual shenanigans, trying to investigate the past, or wandering around the forest looking for something that it takes a while to get going, even with all of this material preparing everything for what's to come. It all brings the storyline together rather nicely, but it does so at the expense of ensuring the film gets off to a fine start, much like the finale, where it doesn't feature a big brawl or battle with the doctor or his creation to leave. It just tends to meander around on several long-winded dialogue scenes that end up slowing this to a crawl. Alongside the cheap look of everything, these all bring this one down overall.
