It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
This is supposed to be part of the "Howling" franchise of films. How did it get to this stage? "The Howling: Reborn" was just grim with dull colours and bleak scripts. A teenage schoolboy who looks like a young man from "Twilight" and probably isn't discovers he's a werewolf. He relies on his nerdy friend to give him info. He lives with his widowed dad because his mother died while she was pregnant. Then we all find out that she's alive and really a werewolf who's been watching him growing up. His crush is a very grown up girl who likes parties but her personality flip flops. Sometimes she's tough and other times she's a damsel in distress. No one ever asked about the dead school bully. Finding all of the people kept in a slimey tunnel was familiar. The werewolves in this film look like big bogeys. I just found it so bland and really struggled to keep watching anymore.
The Howling: Reborn (2011) is a atrociously, lame, boring, horrible movie! I mean who wrote and directed this sh*t, a six year old? I rented this movie at a redbox for a dollar and change. After I seen the movie in it entirety (Excruciatingly to say) I nearly dozed off into a coma! (LOL) I've seen t.v. commercials way cooler than this crap I wish I gotten my refund back! In the movie the two leading actor and actress kept saying, "you have no ideal," especially at the end of the movie, I mean WTF was that all about, seriously? I mean, realistically it's more like they don't have a clue or ideal how the movie sucks and all of the cast and production crew film career is basically over! They need to start looking for a new line of work to do (including the writer or writers of this film) or go into the realm of doing amateur porn and that's probably what they would be good at f$%k&*g each other just as they F$%k up this movie! This movie is so awfully bad, it owes the box office money! I wouldn't recommend this sh*t to my worst enemy!
Now, there were a lot of sequels to the The Howling after it came out back in the 1980's, most of which were forgettable.This one is actually made with a lot of solid special effects, and some okay writing. It's really kind of slow in the first half hour with some tiresome teenage angst. the movie kind of gets going later, but not really that much.They use the same kinds of special effects they used in the 1981 film, but they look tired and dated here. There are a few clever lines such as "The Evolution will not be Televised", and when a silver trophy is used to kill a werewolf "Aren't you glad you didn't win the gold.Not a bad film, but not great. Worth a Weekend rental.
I love a good WereWolf flick, in fact, I even love a mediocre WereWolf flick from time to time. This movie however is something entirely different. Imagine taking every single cliché about WereWolves in existence and writing them into an underfunded movie with the lead female role played by a girl who could very well be Jay Leno's daughter. Add a dash of "Coming of Age" and pinch of puberty, and whole lot of teenage angst.I wanted to like this move, I tried to like this movie. In the end I could view it as nothing but comedy. The music is terrible, the acting is lackluster, the effects are 1988, and not in a good way. If you are looking for a comedy I would say this should be a consideration, but do not make the mistake of taking this movie seriously as a horror film, or even a WereWolf flick. I gave it a 2 because it did in fact offer some entertainment value, as much of it was so ridiculous it was laughable. If you like wasting time, watch this movie.
