The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Writer Marie Adams (Romy Windsor) is having strange visions. Marie's husband Richard (Michael T. Weiss) takes her to a cottage in the small town of Drago to relax and rest. The visions continue, however, and Marie eventually finds that the town of Drago is full of werewolves. The plot to this film is a reworking of the original Howling. Actually, it's a more faithful adaptation of the original novel in many respects. It also sucks big time. It's all very drab and tedious. Obviously the movie has fans. My sister is one of them. Growing up she actually preferred this film to the original Howling! Windsor and Weiss are fine, I guess, but it's all so dull. See the original or even the hilarious part 2 instead.

Although this fourth Howling film may truer to the source material than the previous three, due to atrocious acting and meandering soap-opera melodrama that takes up most of the running time, it falls neck and neck with the worst of the series. Obviously not as classic as the first, nor as camp/guilty pleasure as the second admittedly dismal by conventional standards film.Always trying to find the good in films. Struggling to find anything good in some films, I will concede that the title theme song for this movie is quite catchy and it wasn't a PG-13 movie (cough howling 3 cough) It's just too bad that most of it, aside from the last 20 minutes or so, is dreadfully dull and hopelessly mundane.

Another entry in the worst franchise ever. This is almost unwatchable due the slowness of the flick. I made sure that I had the uncut version to see all the gore. And be advised. If you are collecting the Howling franchise do please pick up the uncut version otherwise there's nothing to see. It's only the last 15 minutes that contain horror. O yes, throughout the flick a couple is killed but you don't see any werewolf, you only hear him howling, next shot, a throat being bitten. But it is in fact the transformation that makes it watchable but you have to sit almost 80 minutes in a boring flick to see it. It isn't your typical transformation. The person melts completely in gory fashion and resurrect as a werewolf. Once a werewolf it just looks cheesy. Or just see the doctor showing his real face. Camp and cheesy.Start this flick, go wash yourself, do the laundry, just do everything you have to do but set an alarm after 80 minutes, from there this flick delivers. Oh,before I forget it, yes there's a bit of small nudity.Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

After undergoing a psychological breakdown, a writer staying at a secluded cabin and a friend try to convince her skeptical husband that the ghostly visions of werewolves she sees are real and sets out to solve the mystery of their appearance.This here is a really entertaining and enjoyable werewolf entry, and a rather underrated horror effort in any regard. One of the main selling points in this one, and one of the better aspects of the whole series, is the fact that this one manages to come up with a grossly entertaining and engaging mystery set-up with the werewolf history in the town, the appearance of the two girls and the town itself, mixed well together and made it incredibly entertaining and interesting, since it's a well-designed storyline that moves into greater, more threatening detail as more is discovered later on in the film. As this is accomplished with the mixing of a great sense of reality-or-dreams, creepy locals in a creepy locale as the night-time scenes are pretty tense and a fair degree of werewolf action and it turns into a rather entertaining affair before all the graphic violence and enjoyable werewolf-makeup are utilized, which here are all done incredibly well and features enough to appease gore-hounds and those looking for the more traditional werewolf style. It even manages a few good scare scenes, mainly the transformation after a sex scene but a couple others get spread out in the film as well, making it all the better. The main complaint about this one, beyond the low-budget nature, is the sense of déjà-vu that permeates this one due to its storyline and plot origins, but that really isn't as noticeable as it should be, and overall, this one is pretty fun.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Nudity, Sexual Situations and Adult Language
