Brand New Restoration
Directed by Joe Dante (Gremlins) with a screenplay by John Sayles (Lone Star) with groundbreaking special effects by Rob Bottin (The Thing, The Fog, Total Recall), The Howling has been stunningly restored for a new generation of horror fans. Graphically violent, sexually explicit and nightmarishly intense, it remains one of the most original werewolf movies of the eighties.
After an intense confrontation with a serial killer, news anchor Karen White (Dee Wallace) is left traumatised and suffering from amnesia. In need of recovery, Karen takes refuge within "The Colony", a country retreat organised by her psychiatrist Dr Waggner (Patrick Macnee). But things at "The Colony" aren't as idyllic as they originally seemed and as blood curdling screams break the midnight silence, Karen's memories slowly begin to come into focus.

One of the best
Quite simply, this is one of the very best werewolf films ever made. Released in 1980, the state of the art special effects and makeup (prosthetics -no CGI) by Rob Bottin are better than today’s offerings. The transformation scenes are particularly realistic and horrifying. The tongue in cheek script pays homage to the classic Universal monster films of the 50s with many characters named after their directors. And while it was made about 40 years ago, this film is more terrifying than today’s modern monster flicks. I’ve watched this film about 10 times and I still love it. A magnificent piece of horror from a director (Joe Dante) at the top of his game.
