This movie once held a prominent position in the Bottom 100. How it ever got off the list is one of the great mysteries of the universe. Howling: New Moon Rising single-handedly redefines bad low-budget horror movies, and has all the requirements for being the worst horror sequel ever made:
1. No werewolf.
2. Old-school barroom jokes served up as original humor.
3. Small-town inhabitants playing themselves.
4. No werewolf.
5. Hopelessly outdated, overlong, and plot-halting line dance sequences.
6. Pappy sings.
7. Still no werewolf.
8. The most ridiculous 'plot twist' in the history of cinema.
9. Police chief: "Can we continue this tomorrow? This is all just too much information for me to take in all at once."
10. Red-tinted POV shots that's supposed to be a werewolf.
11. Written by, directed by, produced by, and starring Clive Turner.
12. "Hey Pappy - there's dirt in your chili!"
13. A two-line program command that produces the final CGI 'transformation' into the fakest-looking werewolf I've ever seen.
This movie was so painful to watch. No wonder they didn't make any more Howling sequels after this one. 1/10
