Bad movie but some funny moments

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2018

Australian comical entry in the Howling series which has nothing to do with the first two movies. Bottom line is that this is a bad movie, yet it does provide some laughs providing the viewer doesn't take it seriously. Much of the acting & script is bad, the werewolves are some of the worst to be seen & the annoying 80's soundtrack really dates it. However, the special effects for the baby marsupial are decent, Imogen Annesley looks good in the part of the main female werewolf, good use of Sydney Harbour & the film differs from regular werewolf movies (here they can change at any time, not just the Full Moon). Funny cameo by Dame Edna too.
The Prism DVD release has a picture quality that looks VHS.

You will never look at broccoli in the same way

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2015

Lesley peeped through the hairline gap in the curtains, observing Mrs Crocket unloading this weeks groceries from the boot of her car. When Crocket reached for her 5th bag of shopping, Lesley could see the faint outline of a vacuum packed cluster of pre-cut broccoli protruding through the translucent Tesco's carrier bag. Once aware of this purchase, Lesley felt a rushed flutter of excitement and became penchant at the prospect of them being digested in the dank, hollow pit of Mrs Crocket's innards. Lesley knew that her lustful fantasies for the digestion of this particular vegetable were abnormal, but the carnal nature of this taboo had gripped her, tighter than the feeling in her chest, warmer than the building tensions of her pelvis. Once Mrs Crocket had finished carrying her shopping from her car to her house, she turned sharply to observe the front of Lesley's house. Although she was unaware of her neighbours voyeurism, she had sensed the feeling of being watched. Mrs Crocket had always had her suspicions of Lesley. Although approachable, and nothing short of friendly in person, Crocket had always tasted the unmistakable presence of doom whenever they came to converse. As if her tonsils had suddenly begin to excrete venom onto the back of her own tongue, Mrs Crocket always knew that someday, on the most horrid of days, she would be forced to submit herself as victim, to the vile prowess of Lesley's perversions.

Anyway... this film was alright. It featured werewolves and Ozzy people going "bloomin' heck".

Good film

I enjoyed this Howling sequel more than the ones that came after it. Barry Otto is a very good actor and I think the soundtrack added to the quirky 80s feel of it. It doesn't look as nice as the first two but I suppose the low budget vibe gave it charm.

A werewolf love story...

Reviewed in Canada on 29 March 2008

This movie was whack... You'll see what I mean if you watch it.

The pluses: The acting was fine and the plot was OK. There was that werewolf birth scene which was... Interesting.

The cons: The special effects were weak and it lacked any sort of spooky feel. It was more of a werewolf love-story.

This version that I'm reviewing is the 2007 release... Which has terrible cover art. If you're convinced you should own this not-so-great movie then I suggest buying the 2005 version from one of the 3rd party sellers... It's also cheaper.

Werewolf's in Auz

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2004

Verified Purchase

Not the greatest speacial affects, some of the changes from human to wolf are a bit unrealistic, but there is a storyline that alters thoughout the film. Like most the howlings the film is about a group of werewolf's. It has the typical one going astray and mating the a human before returning the group. But it also has two quite good scenes, one were a baby wereworf is going into her mothers pouch as the mothers human and the other of a human strapped a chair as he's forced to change into a wolf.
There is two scene in the film with poor acting. But I still feel the story and australian back groud makes the film is worth a look.
It has a nice cast, a few famous australians in small parts of the film. I gave this four stars due to it's storyline and the two scenes mensioned earier. It's up to you if you care to watch it.
