    "The Howling Reborn"- which attempted to cash-in on the "Twilight" craze- tries to be for everyone and yet it ultimately ends up being for no one, except maybe those cinematic masochists who wish to endure the entirety of the Howling franchise...like me...and you know what? I'm not even sure if this is for us because "The Howling Reborn" isn't even bad enough to satisfy my self destructive cravings.

    "Howling V: The Rebirth" writes checks it cannot cash, but was still an easy watch and in some ways, is my favorite of the Howling sequels. After all, it's a werewolf-themed murder mystery which place in a dilapidated castle and that concept is just amazing.

    On a technical level, "Howling 3" is a noticeable step up from its predecessor, even containing some legitimate good stuff. My problem is that even the filmmakers don't seem to know what kind of movie they wanted to make. A comedy? Horror? Arthouse? Romance? Environmentalist propaganda? Exploitation? It's too much of all of these genres to satisfy as any one of them!

    "The Howling" is a good movie, one of the few examples of horror that I would recommend to even those who don't lurk within the fandom of the genre. Yet I have always felt that it is a bit overrated, believing that its more passionate followers have convinced themselves that the handful of exceptional moments embody the entire film.

    The tragic thing about “The Beast Must Die” is if it had more money at its disposal, it could've been a very good movie. The concept alone gives me tingles! It's pretty much “10 Little Indians” (or “And Then There Were Done”), but with a freaking werewolf.
  6. “Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)” movie review

    “Twilight Zone: The Movie” was a theatrical adaptation of the 1960's show of the same name, designed to be an anthology with four big directors helming each segment, complete with an all star cast. Steven Spielberg (“Jaws”), John Landis (“The Blues Brothers”), George Miller (“Mad Max”) and Joe Dante (“The Howling") were the star directors and the project was intended to be a big deal. Unfortunately, a real life tragedy occurred on the set when star Vic Morrow and two children were killed in a freak helicopter accident. That is all anyone remembers this movie for and probably for good reason. The deaths were due to gross negligence and general stupidity. The casualties loom over the project, ensuring that they are not far from your mind during the viewing of the film.
