Michele Martin in Howl (2021)

Review by jackmeat

Howl

2/10

No horror, and no reason to watch.

My quick rating - 2,4/10. The very edge of a #turkey. Almost made it out of the lovely category of do NOT waste your time. But unless you are having a hard time sleeping, I cannot recommend this movie to anyone for any other reason but curing insomnia. Nothing happens for the vast majority of the flick. Just a story of a woman (Michele Martin) who is released from a sanitarium after a suicide attempt to go take care of her grandmother's bookstore for the winter. Let me say that again, she just attempted suicide and now is let out to go isolate at some house for an entire winter. Well, Michele Martin also wrote, directed and I would guess also added the really distracting looking fake snow effect during post-production. So putting that unbelievable part aside, she slowly descends into madness in her own mind. Basically just boring flashbacks, my description sounds far more entertaining than it is. Good thing people start appearing although they do make it unclear if they are there or not at times. If the psychological nightmare she may have been going through was in any way involving enough to make you care, any viewer may have wondered what was real and what wasn't. Since it is all so poorly constructed, no one will care. All of a sudden, everyone seems related and is a werewolf. No real explanation at all to any of this just like the fight in the forest that has some of the cheesiest CGI ever. That scene was just tucked in there for.....I don't know. Just a mess of a film that really never had a point. I would hate to speculate what the point actually was since I believe it was depressing and hits home with someone involved. So I'll stick with the movie itself being an utter waste.
