An evil traveling carnival owner, Harker, tries to capture a werewolf in a small desert town to add to his collection of "Freaks". "Howling 6-The Freaks" is a passable flick at best. The acting is okay, but the script could have used a lot of work. The characters generally weren't that interesting, though some of the freaks were more likeable than the main characters themselves! Special effects were intermitent in terms of quality--The werewolf looked very cheap, as did the transformation scenes, but the vampire make-up (By Steve Johnson no less) towards the end, as well as some of the gore effects, were quite good. I really wouldn't recommend this film--it really wasn't terrible but it WAS quite boring at times and features nothing we haven't seen a dozen or so time prior to it. My rating for "Howling 6- the freaks"--3/10.

To describe this movie in one word I would say S**T, and if given more words it's a stinker of epic proportions. This movie promises Werewolf Vs Vampire in a nail biting showdown but what you get is about five minutes of wrestling ending with the vampires death. WOW nailbiting huh. Do not get this movie out, you have been warned.

In THE HOWLING VI: THE FREAKS, a circus / freak show, run by a mysterious man, comes to a small town. Meanwhile, another mysterious stranger arrives, and many secrets come to light. The revealing of the true identities of these men leads to an explosive finale.

This installment in the seemingly endless HOWLING "series" does indeed contain several freaks, including those played by Antonio Fargas and Deep Roy! Though absurd in spots, this movie actually holds up rather well, and is certainly better than some of the other entries. The carnival itself is fairly cool, featuring some bizarre characters (The Chicken Biter! Alligator Boy!). Of course, lycanthropy plays a role as well...

Like I say it's not that good there's allot bad to say about this movie. The acting mostly sucked and when it didn't suck it just wasn't good. The dialogue and writing mostly sucked as well and the directing also mostly sucked you can probably tell that almost everything in this movie mostly sucks but that isn't to say it doesn't have one or two redeeming factors.

For example Bruce Payne Gives a good performance and makes an OK villain. There is on standout line of dialogue that goes something like this

Sheriff with gun pointed and Bruce Payne' don't move or I'll blow your nuts off" Bruce Payne' then I certainly won't move"

That's not exactly it but you get the point. The lead character was somewhat likable but the actor playing him wasn't believable enough and the actress playing the leads love interest was. The FX were ok and by far the best thing about this movie was the werewolf itself yes it was cheap and looked nothing like the howling werewolves but it was still creepy looking especially the face.

Anyways I say don't bother with it unless you catch it on TV and there's nothing else good on you might sort of like a little.

Travelling circuses and freak shows have always had a part in the history of horror and in this sequel we get a good dose of just that. Led by the evil Harker, he wants to capture and exhibit his fellow Brit in the wandering Ian, who turns into a werewolf when the moon is full. There is also a love interest in preacher's daughter Elizabeth. As a werewolf movie it is pretty unremarkable. But it's the freaks side of this film that I liked, especially as Antonio Fargas is among them! Acting is good enough and it is an interesting storyline which also involves another classic monster, the vampire! One of the better Howling sequels, though that doesn't really say much!
