Byron H 1/4 it's terrible, an homage to classic horror settings. It just didn't work especially with no werewolves??? Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Two Guys A Over the weekend, I embarked on a thrilling journey through all of The Howling movies. And let me tell you, the fifth installment of this franchise had me on the edge of my seat! It quickly became my second favorite, thanks to its gripping storyline. The plot revolves around a group of carefully selected individuals who are invited to an abandoned castle. The castle witnessed a gruesome event 500 years ago, where the entire population was burned alive to get rid of the demon werewolf. But the question is, is one of the visitors a werewolf? Or are the workers at the newly reopened castle hiding a dark secret? You'll have to watch it to find out! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review GPhonse257 I am not the type of person, who cow tows to the herd mentality, when it comes to voicing my opinions about a subject. I can even be a contrarian to a popular opinion, but not for the sake of being a contrarian...but just for the sake of telling the honest truth as i see it. Which is why i will honestly say that "Howling V: The Rebirth" is probably the scariest werewolf movie that i've ever seen. That does not in any way mean that, i think that it's the best werewolf movie that i've ever seen (i believe that title of the best werewolf movie that i've ever seen, goes to "An American Werewolf In London"). But i genuinely felt creeped out throughout the entire movie when i first seen it (i still do). Because sometimes you could hear that horrific beast of a monster, growl, or you can see glimpses of it in the silent darkness of the castle (that was barely lit). And you knew that it was somewhere close by to it's victims, but you could never quite pinpoint where it was, or who it was, until the last minute. And by that point...it's victims realized, that it was already too late for them. And that scared the crap out of me...imagining myself in their same predicament. And the dark and myserious ambiance and musical tunes throughout the movie, just added to the suspence and fear factor. It's kinda like "Clue", with a terrifying vicious beast running around, killing it's victims one by one, inside of the cold dark castle. Great concept for a werewolf movie. The only one like it in existance. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/23 Full Review Steve D Best since the original not that that is saying much. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/06/23 Full Review Audience Member The problem with this franchise is that they introduce interesting ideas for plots, but with poorly developed characters, bad actors and helmed by bad directors, these sequels always fall flat. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 1989 was one of the worst years for the horror genre. There were some good movies that year, but it was also the year that practically killed long-standing franchises. Halloween, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Sleepaway Camp were basically dead franchises after this year. The Howling 5 is no different. Granted, Howling 2, 3, and 4 were really bad too, but 5 somehow finds a way to be worse. 2 and 3 were at least so-bad-they're-funny. 4 was really bad, but had a semi-interesting plot. Howling 5 is a bunch of bad actors sitting around poorly designed, cheap castle sets getting killed off by a werewolf you never see clearly. Then the movie turns into Clue with the characters trying to figure out which one was the werewolf (it's not really a mystery). The sad part is the cover shows an awesome looking werewolf, but you never really see it. The movie ends anticlimactically too, with the surviving two characters hugging before one looks at the camera with the evil eye. Then roll credits with a stock wolf howl. Can't even get a transformation scene (something the series is known for) at the end. What a rip off. Just a cheap, worthless movie that is only worth watching to see how a single franchise can continue to fail in so many different ways.
