In a red light district, newswoman Karen White is bugged by the police, investigating serial killer Eddie Quist, who has been molesting her through phone calls. After police officers find them in a peep-show cabin and shoot Eddie, Karen becomes emotionally disturbed and loses her memory. Hoping to conquer her inner demons, she heads for the Colony, a secluded retreat where the creepy residents are rather too eager to make her feel at home. There also seems to be a bizarre connection between Eddie Quist and this supposedly safe haven. And when, after nights of being tormented by unearthly cries, Karen ventures into the forest and makes a terrifying discovery.
Leave your thoughts about The Howling.
| Slant MagazineEric HendersonFrom the very first scene, The Howling plays around with the notion of vulnerability as a role-playing exercise, a pseudo-sex game. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Carole CorbeilYes, Rick Baker won the Oscar a year down the line for his American Werewolf In London FX. And, yes, they are staggering. But it is Rob Bottin's work here (with inflatable air bags under a latex "skin" and a pioneering "hydraulic snout") that is — and ever shall be — the pinnacle of mutation effects. Amen. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerA perverse, satirical contribution to the oft-maligned werewolf genre. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.An almost unparalleled horror mystery that gave its werewolves fangs and humanity. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxNice werewolf effects, but the rest of the film never quite hits its stride. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaCom bons efeitos especiais de maquiagem e clímax tenso, o filme tem um bom final (raro para o gênero), apesar do roteiro frouxo. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe film slides into its situation in a clever, fresh way, and the balance of wit and horror is well maintained throughout, though Sayles's decision to divide up the protagonist's chores among four main characters costs him something in the intensity of audience identification. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldRidiculous -- yes. Comical at times -- yes. Silliest film seen in some time by the Animals Movies Critics' Team. BUT -- great special effects as men BECOME werewolves. WOMEN, too. Before your eyes. Done with -- says here -- HYDRAULICS! Sensational! |
| StarburstJ.R. SouthallThe Howling is Network meets The Island of Dr Moreau, a treatise on nature versus nurture that isn't afraid to poke fun at its practitioners, and while it's not as entertaining as American Werewolf, in the final reckoning it is in many ways ... superior. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioBy the time The Howling finally gets howling, it's pretty much over. |
