Why did they make this movie? Watch the first one instead.
15 March 1999 | by (Washington, USA) – See all my reviews

First of all, this movie wasn't horrible. Bad, but not horrible. There really was no point to make this one because it is basically a poor remake of the first Howling, with much less enthusiasm. However, this one is much better than part 3 only because it tries to be serious. Once again, we don't really see the werewolves until the end, and it isn't too impressive. If you happen to catch this one on TV, go ahead and watch it if you are bored. It may not have a very large budget, but it is a werewolf movie and that's probably the only reason ANYBODY would watch it (like me.....)
