Howling VI: The Freaks (1991)
Bearable wolf-type movie
This definitely falls under the category of "straight to video" - wooden acting, unbelievable plot line, and the picture is all kind-of "fluffy", showing a cinematographer who hasn't been to cinematographer school. This came out at the time when it was cool to have a couple of British actors in your cast - perhaps the US government relaxed the work visa situation in light of Anthony Hopkins's win for best actor in Silence of the Lambs. Anyway, back to this movie, and the reason I gave it a category 2 instead of 1 was the only redeeming factor, an unusually generous performance by Bruce Payne, for a change, not attempting to be the center of attention. What next? Howling 25, starring a has-been McAuley Culkin as the sheriff who saves a high school from a rabid caretaker? Give me a break!!
