The Howling: Reborn - DVD

This movie turned out better than I thought it was going too. The storyline is pretty decent with a pretty good cast. I like the movie all an all. If you’re a fan of the Howling movies, then you should see this one. You should definitely see it if you’re into werewolf movies.

This one was not as good has the first two. But ok

The Howling from 1981 has to be one of the best werewolf films ever made. It's sequels, however, have all been sorely lacking. Luckily, The Howling Reborn, while more or less copies Twilight in parts, at least doesn't totally suck. The werewolf effects are at least solid.

Look, this movie calls it'sef the Howling Reborn not the Howling. It isn't a remake or a reboot because it isn't trying to retell the same story again and the Howling movies aren't exactly tied together. Aside from part 1 & 2, this series has always gone off and done new things with each sequel. Marsupials, anyone? This is kind of like a Twilight movie for people who HATE Twilight. It's surpising how fun it is and keeps you on your toes. It's definitely worth checking out.

What is it that makes Hollywood want to "reboot" everything now a days? This treatment can have one of two outcomes, either 1) an excellent relaunch of a classic series (i.e. the new Star Trek) or 2) a film that seems to be loosely grasping at a classic or well told original idea and failing to match it. The Howling Reborn is unfortunately in the second category, it fails to match the suspense and thrill of the original and only loosely bases itself in the original Howling "universe", IF I had never seen the original Howling series of movies I may have been less critical of this movie. I would say not worth it.
