Observer (UK)

Engagingly sympathetic portrayals of stoical working women and harassed railway guards keep us on side as the action rattles through familiar generic junctions.

Rated: 3/5

Times (UK)

Soon it all gets bloody as the (somewhat unconvincing) lycanthrope goes loco on the locomotive.

Auspicious directing and acting, but ends with a whimper.

All the characters were utterly annoying... the second thing was the cheese factor in this movie was very high.

Rated: 3/10

Cinema Crazed

The cast is good, the characters varied, and so are the attack scenes within the film's limited settings.

Rated: 3.5/5

Although Howl is very funny throughout, it's also gory and bloody and often quite frightening, at the same time.

Rated: 6/10

I am not a fan of creature features but found this very passable thanks to some good characters, the claustrophobic setting and atmospheric lighting.

Well, it passed the time. Using that metric, it did the job. And there are movies so bad, that it elongates time. This was not that bad. It was cheap horror that worked. It did what it was supposed to do.

An overnight train departing London is forced to make an emergency stop after hitting an animal. Surrounded by a forested area, the passengers are stalked by werewolves. A fight for survival begins and most of the passengers will not make it to the end of their journey. "Howl" sets the right tone in creating the ideal environment: the train cars are claustrophobic, the forest is menacing, and the storm only adds to the chaos and violence that lurks outside. The movie proves that a simple plot enriched by a strong setting is sometimes enough to deliver effective terror.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I liked it. A lot. I am a train guy and you were on a train in this film. Some reviewers had trouble with the characters . I disagree. Well done.

The premise is good, but what hindered the 5-star rating was the characters. Almost all of them are highly unlikeable, which at times make you root for their horrible deaths.
