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.
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.

Years after I saw the Original Howling movie, I spend my time watching the entire series of sequels to this movie.
The second one was crap, the third one was a monster and the fourth one was one of the worst flicks I have ever seen.
So I think you can understand my surprise after seeing this fifth sequel, well... it was actually good!
The story has been told by other reviewers, so I won't do that.
The atmosphere in this one is more like a sunday afternoon movie, with not to much gore, but with sympathetic characters, and a innovative storyline, about a carnival director who in real life is a vampire.
I enjoyed everything about this movie, allthough it cannot be seen as a masterpiece or real good horror movie. Despite of that, I give it a 6 out of 10, because it's soooo much better than all the other parts in this bad, bad series.

Without a doubt one of the most disappointing movies I have ever seen. It starts off promisingly, but nothing happens. There are no actual werewolves in it - the hero turns into a wolfman, and the bad guy a purple thing. And they have a lame fight. This is a disgrace to one of the great horror movies the original The Howling. Garbage. Only two people get attacked by a werewolf.
Howling VI (1991) was another entry in the never ending Howling saga. Thia one takes place in a small town. A sleazy little carnival is in town. Follow close by is a mysterious young man. The creepy owner of the carnival takes a liking to the kid. But does he have ulterior motives? The kid meets a nice young girl and the two become good friends. But the carny wants the girl too and what's left of the dying town.
Somewhat different take on the series. The ever so pretty Carol Lynley has a small role as the town's matriarch. Antonio Fargas has a small role as well. The shady Bruce Payne also co-stars in this bizarre flick that has a heavy jones for Paul Naschy films. Hey buddy, don't bite off the man. Try and be original for a change.
Mediocre stuff, but watchable.
