Review of The Howling (1981) by Scott M — 30 Oct 2014
It feels like this movie was directed by the makeup artist. There are many scenes that are unnecessarily long and focus on special effects, which at times are awful even for the time. The movie starts off very confusing and all over the place with a news reporter meeting a murderer in a porn theater and suffering from amnesia of the incident.
Next thing you know her psychiatrist tells her to go to a retreat where all of the people attending are having a bon fire and getting drunk. The music in this movie is also very weird and feels like it was taken from a 1940's monster movie.
An example of this is a scene where a someone comes to a frightening revelation about artwork found at the killers house and organ music starts playing... very loudly might I add. This movie deserves a much lower rating than most people give it.
