A Howling in the Woods

Starring I Dream of Jeannies titular Barbara Eden and Larry "JR" Hagman A Howling in the Woods isn't what I expected at all. It was a pick and mix movie so I didn't know what to expect but based on the title I assumed horror and likely werewolf.

Well it's not a horror and no wolves were or otherwise are to be found. Instead it's a thriller about a woman returning to small town America to see her father but being met with a very unpleasant welcome from a town with a dark secret.

It's a slow burner but that works to its favour, what doesn't sadly is the movies weak structure and instantly forgettable characters.

Does everything come together in the end? Yep. Is the revelation interesting? Absolutely. But the film itself is badly flawed and though watchable is something I feel could and maybe should have been considerably better.

The Good:

Some good ideas

The Bad:

Poorly structured

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I am in no way saddened that I missed out on telegrams
