traine-1992 I will be honest any British horror movie is one that always leaves the mind wondering. But I'd say give it a go if you have LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE to watch. The "wolves" look more like Hagravens from Skyrim. But as I said if it's a last resort watch it, but fuel it with alcohol as it is needed!

leotkonewton This clunker runs through the usual clichés, from everybody making the absolutely wrong decision (like splitting up and walking into the woods alone)to the cell phones not working. But the only interesting thing is . . .SPOILER: An entire car of people just vanishes like Richie Cunningham's older brother. The ticket agent/guard walks through the cars and in one of them meets two young women, a vanilla dude, and an old bag with an angry dog. After the train stops, those folks are never again seen, just written out of the script. They aren't attacked, as ALL of the passengers meet up front to yell at the crew, except these four are nowhere to be seen, long gone before any monster shows up. Little things like that are a distraction. Makes this '6' movie a '4'.

Paul Magne Haakonsen "Howl" is a glorious return to the old school type of werewolf movie, and it was definitely a return to the ways when werewolf movies were made efficiently and interestingly.Now, while starts out fairly slow, don't give up on the movie easily, because it takes a little while for it to get up into gear. But once it has gotten in gear, it sky rockets off for a thrill ride of great speed and with lots of thrills and excitement.The atmosphere that director Paul Hyett managed to establish in "Howl" was just phenomenal. There is a real sense of dread and fear permeating the movie, especially as the werewolves close in on the individuals trapped in the train. And the fact that most of the movie takes place in the small confined space of a train just adds to the atmosphere and to the sense of claustrophobia and despair.As for the story in "Howl", well it was quite straight forward. It seemed like it was an homage to the classic werewolf movies; the movies that I grew up with and loved. So it was particularly great to watch "Howl".The effects in the movie were quite good, and again really captured the essence of the way Hollywood used to make werewolf movies. So it was indeed a treat to behold on the screen. And the werewolves actually had quite an interesting conceptual design, and the special effects team managed to create something really great.They also had a pretty good ensemble of cast to portray the various characters and roles in the movie. I enjoyed watching Sean Pertwee in yet another werewolf movie, although it was a shame that he was not one of the main cast and only had a smaller role in the movie."Howl" turned out to be quite a nice surprise of a movie, and it is definitely a worthy addition to the werewolf genre. If you haven't seen "Howl" already and if you enjoy the werewolf movies from the 1980s and 1990s, then "Howl" will definitely appeal to you.

BA_Harrison Every carriage is a buffet car for a pack of werewolves when a red-eye train from Waterloo comes to a sudden halt on the track, having hit a stag. Down on his luck guard Joe (Ed Speleers) tries to keep his passengers calm while the driver (Sean Pertwee) inspects the damage, but finds his job more stressful than usual when the lycanthropes lurking in the woods launch an attack.There are several moments in Howl where one cannot help but roll their eyes, far-fetched elements including the barricading of a carriage using some handy dandy tools, an engineering student who knows how to operate and repair a train, and one dumb sap who wanders off into his fog shrouded surroundings because he hears a plaintive cry for help (needless to say, he doesn't make it back alive).In its favour, however, are a well-drawn cast of characters, plenty of tense action and atmosphere, a reasonable amount of blood and gore, and some of the most impressive looking cinematic werewolves since Neil Marshall's Dog Soldiers: ugly buggers with glowing eyes, massive maws full of razor sharp teeth, manky skin and matted fur, realised by an effective mix of practical makeup and CGI. So while the script might not rewrite the rules, Howl still has lots to recommend it.
