Hey there! I'm excited to share my thoughts about the latest Howling movie. It's been a wild ride, but I finally made it through the entire horror franchise, and let me tell you, it's been quite a journey! This time around, we follow Will, a high school senior played by the talented Landon Liboiron, who you might remember as a werewolf from Hemlock Grove. As Will navigates his last year of high school, he starts to suspect that he might be the werewolf terrorizing his small town. To make matters worse, his growing relationship with Eliana, played by the amazing Lindsey Shaw, is threatened by his fears and doubts. Will he be able to uncover the truth before it's too late? You'll have to watch and find out!

Definitely one of the worst werewolf films ever. A young high school dork discovers his mother isn't dead as he thought and that he is the new Lord of the lycanthropes and must decide between his newfound nature as a bloodthirsty predator and his new girlfriend's life. The inevitable battle of the critters ensues but not before you will be forced to endure an awful script, shitty acting, poor effects and some truly dire acting. Only lovers of the genre should attempt to withstand this ninety minutes of teen angst ridden werewolfy badness. All others be warned, this film sucks. A lot.

This latest installment in The Howling series is by far the best out of all the previous Howling movies that failed to live up to the original Joe Dante classic. This may not be as good as the original but it comes close enough to the original. This movie is about a young teenager name Will Kidman who falls in love with a beautiful young woman and is almost done with his high school years. But soon Will starts to act strange and he soon learns his identity that he's a werewolf and he soon meets one of the people who calls him his son who are also werewolves and its now up to Will if he'll continue living a normal life as a good werewolf and save the world with his new girlfriend or he'll join the people who calls him their son in eating innocent people. Ok I gotta be honest this is a fine movie for me not the best in the series but it shows proof that it can stand on its own so its a stand alone sequel that is not related to any of the previous Howling films. One of the great things about this movie is that the film is not only in line with the original Joe Dante classic but it is also darker than any of The Howling films and this movie borrowed elements from the original Joe Dante classic and just made it darker at the same time which is a good thing. The other things I like about this movie is that the film is bloodier and more graphic than the original plus the movie has a nice setting, the movie also possess a grim atmosphere and the soundtrack is neat at the same time. The only problem with this movie is that the film feels a bit rushed in parts its like Joe Nimziki wanted to finish the movie quickly and wanted to make sure he's done with the entire film by rushing every scene in the film. The one thing that will also bother me with this movie is that you don't know if this movie is the latest sequel in The Howling series or the movie acts more as an adaptation of the AXN TV show Teen Wolf because the film's songs use different romantic songs and teen rock and roll songs as well. Now the acting is great in this film. All of the casts deliver solid performances in the film. The lead actor in this movie did a very good job with his performance in this film. Lindsey Shaw on the other hand delivers the same thing and she's all grown up after I last saw her in the Nickelodeon TV show Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide and the rest of the casts deliver solid performances in the movie at the same time. Director Joe Nimziki did a very good job with his work in the movie a lot and his directing is tight but rushed as well. That's ok at least he made the latest installment in The Howling series work very well and its on par with the original Joe Dante classic. Overall The Howling: Reborn is a great sequel in The Howling series and it is the best out of all the sequels in The Howling series this is in line with the original Joe Dante classic. This movie gets an 8/10.

A film that features a few scenes with werewolves, but it's mostly a teen-romance in a spooky situation. It has nothing to do with Howling in general, but that's a given for the series.

Rated: 1.5/5

Like the other sequels, The Howling Reborn takes a great concept and completely flushes it down the toilet in order to exploit modern horror/werewolf trends.

Rated: 3/10

tries to distance itself from Twilight...but tries the same tricks, including the morose soundtrack, washed-out cinematography and overload of teen know-it-all angst
