Howl (2015)

Nice little English horror flick: passengers and staff on a train in the middle of nowhere fight against a pack of blood and flesh craving Werewolves. Solid cast, a good production value refined by some gore. Solid movie of the B category.

Attention, spoilers ahead...This is a good movie for suspense, but some of the things in this really don't add up. The movie lets viewers know that the moon is responsible for what is happening, just like any other werewolf movie, but what doesn't add up is that after night wears on the creatures are still creatures. What is the point of showing the moon as the culprit reason when the creatures don't resort back to human. Otherwise, great movie with loaded horror and classic horror.

"Howl" is a glorious return to the old school type of werewolf movie, and it was definitely a return to the ways when werewolf movies were made efficiently and interestingly.Now, while starts out fairly slow, don't give up on the movie easily, because it takes a little while for it to get up into gear. But once it has gotten in gear, it sky rockets off for a thrill ride of great speed and with lots of thrills and excitement.The atmosphere that director Paul Hyett managed to establish in "Howl" was just phenomenal. There is a real sense of dread and fear permeating the movie, especially as the werewolves close in on the individuals trapped in the train. And the fact that most of the movie takes place in the small confined space of a train just adds to the atmosphere and to the sense of claustrophobia and despair.As for the story in "Howl", well it was quite straight forward. It seemed like it was an homage to the classic werewolf movies; the movies that I grew up with and loved. So it was particularly great to watch "Howl".The effects in the movie were quite good, and again really captured the essence of the way Hollywood used to make werewolf movies. So it was indeed a treat to behold on the screen. And the werewolves actually had quite an interesting conceptual design, and the special effects team managed to create something really great.They also had a pretty good ensemble of cast to portray the various characters and roles in the movie. I enjoyed watching Sean Pertwee in yet another werewolf movie, although it was a shame that he was not one of the main cast and only had a smaller role in the movie."Howl" turned out to be quite a nice surprise of a movie, and it is definitely a worthy addition to the werewolf genre. If you haven't seen "Howl" already and if you enjoy the werewolf movies from the 1980s and 1990s, then "Howl" will definitely appeal to you.

It was quite good until we could perfectly see the "werewolf". I'm sorry, but it was one of the worst werewolves I've ever seen. The acting was really poor sometimes, although the story was pretty original. One positive thing also was the constant suspense and it was bloody but not too much, so that's really good. Special effects are nice, excepting to the werewolves. Something that I don't understand is the final scene, when the sun has raised but the werewolves are still transformed...that makes no sense. It is OK to watch at home when you are bored, but I wouldn't pay for watching it. Also I have to say that I've seen worse films of this type, but it could have been better.
