Horror

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.

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.

I think perhaps the most apt comment should go to Christopher Lee himself who has often described HOWLING II as his own "personal embarrassment!" Since we have the film in our own library (in BETA format of course) we are probably the only family world-wide has seen it upwards of 20 times over the last 17 years....never fails to give us a laugh...I would almost "miss" it now! We all just watched it again tonight!

El cheapo film-making any which way you want to look at it...script, acting, direction, editing, production values, fx...love the early shot of the "werewolf" where they have only given the poor guy a "furry arm" the rest is normal! But hey...this is a fun movie....how many other films do you get to see a girl rip her bra off seventeen times during the closing credits. Sybil Danning should have received a "special Oscar" for this alone!

Tries to link itself to the original with the most pathetic re-shot footage of Dee Wallace Stone's demise in the original that looks absolutely nothing like her, not to mention the "body" in the coffin. Still ya gotta love the theme "In the pale pale night of the moon above"....

Hell, give it a break!

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.
