Geek W @Jar_Jar Aug 3 One of the biggest flaws in Howl is its handling of the passengers. The overnight train starts out feeling convincingly crowded, but after the initial collision, many passengers simply disappear without explanation. Even stranger, the conductor never seems concerned and doesn’t bother checking the other train cars, making it feel as if the script simply forgets about half its cast to focus on the main group. The characters don’t help either. Nearly everyone is a cliché: the rude teenager, the easily offended elderly couple, the overweight comic relief, the brilliant Indian student, the sleazy womanizer… They’re flat, predictable, and hard to care about. In the end, Howl is the definition of streaming junk food: something you half-watch while scrolling through your phone, only to forget it the moment the credits roll. Easily skippable.

Why these practical effects designers get so much praise is beyond me. Yet another uninspiring creation. Looked like a cheap Halloween costume with even worse cgi. The way it looked was just bad.

Not to be missed by any horror fan.

See more Anonymous B @AnonBunnie Jan 1 So much potential but ruined by stupidity. The dumb scenes outweigh the good and the moronic sacrifice at the end leaves a bitter taste. See more Logan D @Greynomad38 Oct 24 On a midnight train bound for Scotland, passengers find themselves stranded in the wilderness when it "malfunctions." Is that a coyote? Oh, wait, there are no coyotes in the UK. Straightforward narrative with unlikeable characters. I can excuse much for a moderate budget but Ginger Snaps demonstrated you can still have a good werewolf tale without a lot of money. See more Read all reviews
