Howl Audience Reviews

Steineded How sad is this?
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Tweetienator 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.
mb1456 Howl is a good horror flick at least until the end where it got predictable and weak yet it engages you nevertheless. Any effects or makeup used are also done quite realistically. Probably the best performance among the characters would be Elliot Cowan as the cocky, selfish Adrian and even Ania Marson as the frail Jenny. The thick forest, a full moon, a train stuck at the tracks, the howls..all are captured so well to add to the spook factor. Few scenes lack conviction, for example initially the werewolves are unable to open the train doors but they do it easily later in the movie. And as told earlier, the climax could have been as tense as the rest of the movie. Yet, this movie is very watchable, grab your popcorn :)
Paul Magne Haakonsen "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.
CromeRose I wanted to really love this movie, from other reviews I'd read, it seemed like I would. But alas, I didn't. However, nor did I hate it. The setting was creepy - you can't get better than an English forest for a werewolf setting, but the filmmakers didn't utilize it as much as they could have, probably due to budgetary and scheduling constraints - it's tough and time consuming to do too many setups in a forest (I've been there and done that, so I can talk from experience). I also think they spent too much time on the bickering passengers. I understand that they were trying to develop characters and create tension, but in the end, the tension should have been derived more from the attacking creatures. The in-fighting of the passengers just got annoying in the end. After all, we know most of these people were just meat for the beast so who cares that much about them? And really, if this happened in reality, I think folks would very quickly realize that something supernatural was happening and get serious. The last thing that bothered me was, although the creatures were cool and horrifying, they did not look so much like werewolves except for their feet. They resembled a cross between Nosferatu and a Chupacabra. And I think that if you're making a werewolf picture, your monsters should be traditional. All in all though, I'm glad I've got this in my collection.
