FILM 18
FILM: The Howling
PREMISE: There is a serial killer on the loose, Karen White is the only reporter he communicates with. After a near fatal encounter with him at an adult video store, she is ordered to take a vacation. Eddie was killed by Police, but Karen doesn't want to let it go and discovers that he came from a tiny community in the woods and that's where she decides to vacation with husband Bill. Big mistake, because Eddie was an outcast of a pack of Werewolves who is trying to keep a low profile and doesn't want any interviews. Can Karen and Bill escape the village of the wolf?
REVIEW: Now it took me a good 40 minutes to get into this film. I eventually came to really enjoy this tongue and cheek werewolf classic. All the little nods to old werewolf films were great. I also really liked the look and feel of this film. The cast was also great. Knowing Joe Dante's body of work, I loved seeing all is favorite actors in various roles. (Dick Miller, Robert Picardo)The werewolves monsters in this were great and very creepy. Just a really good time once it got going. I give this a 8 out of 10.
