Horror

The first Howling is a classic and the second one, is well, not so much a classic but it is still entertaining. The brother of the main character from the first one is trying to figure out what happened to his sister. He teams up with her colleague and a werewolf hunter played by horror legend Christopher Lee.

They go to Transylvania to go after the most powerful werewolf, Stirba (Sybil Danning) and craziness ensues. There is a new wave band, gratuitous werewolf nudity and dwarves. One of the main problems for me is the recreation of the broadcast from the end of the first movie. It looks like someone wearing a cheap mask and the outfit isn't even the same if I remember correctly. I'm sure they didn't have the rights to use the clip from the original but they could have made it a little better in my opinion. Overall, The Howling 2 is decent enough to watch as long as you don't take it too seriously or expect it to be as good as the first film.
