The Howling (1981)

REVIEWER RATING: 
7/10


It's rare that I come across a movie that's pretty known and has a cult following that I haven't seen before, and this is one of those movies. I've seen all of the Howling sequels and thought they all pretty much sucked except part 2 was pretty decent. I never got around to checking the original for some reason. It aired on TV once and at the time I was too preoccupied to bother watching it. I'm glad I didn't watch it on TV that one night, because it would have been cut to bits.

The Howling: Reborn (2011)

REVIEWER RATING: 
4/10


As if the sequels weren't bad enough, sixteen years after the last addition to the series we're given a "reboot" and obvious attempt at cashing in and capturing the Twilight crowd by aiming towards a younger audience and adding a completely unnecessary romance aspect. Ultimately, the studio's attempt at re-launching the franchise fails, especially when it doesn't even seem to know whether it's a horror film or a dreary teen romance.

The story revolves around a high school senior named Will, who spent the last four years unnoticed by not only his fellow classmates, but also the girl he has admired the entire time. Days before his graduation, Will finally gathers the courage to talk to her and a connection between the two is quickly formed. After just turning eighteen and thinking as though his life was starting to get better, he's nearly attacked at an underground party by a werewolf, which opens his eyes to not only the possibility of these creatures being real, but that he may also be one himself.
