When you expect so little from a movie and it fails to meet even your lowest expectations, you know it is one of the worst. I like werewolves and I liked the howling. I thought the remake would be at least decent. But no, not at all. First of all, we do not see a werewolf till the 65 minute mark, and even then it is a naked guy with furry trousers. Even though there are some lycan on lycan action towards the end, it is ruined by quick pacing and close shots. The first part of the movie is basically the first spiderman and the rest is incoherent, plot less and dumb. Though the writers say this is not a remake but a version from some novel also called howling, it is nonsense since the "getting werewolves on camera to prove they are real" scene is there. Now when you have a decent work done, you can include inside jokes like "no werewolves were harmed during the making" but when the hero stabs the intimidating muscle-bound werewolf with a necklace and kills it instantly, thereby destroying the viewers hopes to witness some action scenes, you should know you have done a terrible job. And what's with the ending? So the Alfa is not dead, and werewolf apocalypse actually began? What's the point of including cliffhanger when it is obvious you have no chance to shoot sequels?

Let me say, I absolutely loved the movie. It was a good watch. I was already initially a fan of Lindsey Shaw's and decided to watch a movie with her in it. I'm also a big fan of supernatural and mythical movies/shows/stories. I'm also a sucker for romance. I'm surprised at the low ratings the movie received, I thought it was better than Twilight but hey that's just my opinion. The acting was far better too. So overall, just go watch the movie! You won't regret it. I also felt like there should be a sequel with the same two main characters. That would be pretty awesome. One thing I didn't like was the fact that the whole movie was based on one small thing rather than something bigger. If you watch the movie you'll understand what I'm talking about. Hopefully.

Now, there were a lot of sequels to the The Howling after it came out back in the 1980's, most of which were forgettable.This one is actually made with a lot of solid special effects, and some okay writing. It's really kind of slow in the first half hour with some tiresome teenage angst. the movie kind of gets going later, but not really that much.They use the same kinds of special effects they used in the 1981 film, but they look tired and dated here. There are a few clever lines such as "The Evolution will not be Televised", and when a silver trophy is used to kill a werewolf "Aren't you glad you didn't win the gold.Not a bad film, but not great. Worth a Weekend rental.

I found this movie to be pretty enjoyable and I don't like the Twilight series.I don't know why it got poor reviews, sure the plot has a few minor holes and it fast-forwards at one point, but really, I thought the fast-forward was a good idea.It was obvious to the viewers what the friend's reaction would be, and the nurse would write it off as a practical joke, so there was no reason why that scene had to be extended.I found the werewolves to be good looking, actually, and its rather good special effects for a low-budget movie...I've seen worse! The soundtrack was forgettable, but I found it didn't really need a soundtrack anyways.The movie could have been better with the scares, but it had more of a creepy tone to it, though, which I like.I found the plot to be somewhat dry and overused, but some points were rather unique (I never saw the original Howling movies).The acting wasn't bad, neither was the character development.All in all, if you're a werewolf fan and you don't mind watching a low-budget movie, then I'd recommend this to you.
