Howlers

Make no mistake, this is a B flick, and it's not good. But it's not the worst I've seen either. The acting is almost passable. The script, effects, etc aren't the worst I've seen. There are some funny moments. They make decent use of some horror tropes and cliches in a few places.

I was having quite a good time watching this SILLY movie. I was actually reminded of The Dead Don't Die on account of many of the characters being dorky small town cops and other people, plus the presence of an otherworldly character who knows all about the enemy, but shockingly I enjoyed this one more. That's possibly because I really thought The Dead Don't Die was going to be cool, thanks to Jim Jarmusch having directed Dead Man, an excellent black and white western/comedy starring Johnny Depp, but it really wasn't, while I fully expected this one to be trash, and it is! Just do what I did, which was kick back with my wife and giggle at the silly, corny, SO cheap werewolf action. This is NOT a good movie, have fun with it!

Seems most reviewers these days think every movie has to have a billion dollar budget to be watchable. I found this to be a fairly decent movie. The werewolves were a bit different than usual and make up could have been a little better. A couple of actors were a little wooden. I liked the plot it was different. I personally didn't care for the ending but it was a very watchable movie.

Garbage start to finish. Since time travel does not exist at this point so what people out of the past would act like when introduced to them but the way the werewolf's acted when seeing the magic that is a motorcycle is definitely not how people would act. I realize after the stunning success of sharknado we have been drowning in craptacular abominations and mashups that come from the fever dreams of the ghost of Ed Wood. One decent movie has come from this nonsense Abraham Lincoln versus Zombies. Two things from this movie are interesting, one if they make a movie about Brett Favre the sheriff looks a lot like him so thats something and strangely another former NFL QB had found another career as Ken Stabler wasn't bad as the coroner which is a neat trick as he died several years ago. The only reason to watch this would be for you to see if I was right. The closest comparison to what you see in this movie is a short lived 15 min cartoon calls Axe Cop I watched Axe Cop and absolutely hated it and while talking to somebody about it is was told the entire story of Axe Cop and I immediately went back to watch it and it was awesome. The story behind that show is a mid 20s cartoonist and his (I think) 6 year old nephew made the cartoon and this little guy came up with the characters, the story and all the dialogue while his uncle did the cartoon itself if you can check it out. Why do I bring that up, well everything that the little guy came up with is far more believable than this garbage and that includes monsters on the moon and a cop truck capable of interstellar travel while also being a time machine. That is how stupid this is.

'High Moon', or 'Howlers' as it is sometimes known, is a horror/comedy involving a band of werewolves and a gunfighter from the Old West who has returned from the grave to hunt them. The result is slightly less interesting than this premise might have you believe. Whilst the idea of a biker gang of wolf men living on the outskirts of respectable civilisation is a good one, the low budget and some wooden performances don't do it a lot of favours.

It's not quite a comedy, not quite a horror but it would be wrong of me to suggest that it isn't quite good fun in places and there are worse ways of spending 90 minutes of your time. My score is 5 out of 10.
