Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Justin Easton There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
nightroses This is a weak sequal to "The Howling", one of my favourite horror movies. "The Howling II" was very different. The link to the first movie is that the start of this movie happens during the funeral of a reporter who was in the first film. Her brother is the lead of this film. He meets a colleague of his dead sister, and they hook up to look into what mess happened to her and why she was killed. Christopher Lee is the biggest star of the film, even though he looked very uncomfortable and later he regretted being in this flick. They tried to make Lee a type of Van Helsing or werewolf hunter. The film is set in America somewhere, but later ends up in Transylvania, the land of the werewolves. It's a place that the lead werewolf of the world, a very old woman, becomes a nightmare. This is just more fantasy than horror. There are some gruesome scenes but the werewolves look nothing like they did in the first movie. Here in Howling 2 they just resemble humans in furry Halloween costumes. There are some ridiculous scenes. The punks are there to show Christopher Lee how times have changed since his Hammer Horror film days as Dracula in the 60's and early 70's.
BA_Harrison Howling II: ... Your Sister Is a Werewolf' is an incredibly dumb title for an incredibly dumb sequel.The film opens at the funeral of Karen White, the TV reporter who was shot dead after turning into a dodgy looking werewolf at the end of the original The Howling. As the mourners leave, occult investigator Stefan Crosscoe (Christopher Lee) approaches Karen's brother Ben (Reb Brown) and reporter Jenny Templeton (Annie McEnroe) claiming that Karen cannot rest in peace because she is a werewolf.They initially dismiss him as a wacko, but a later horrifying turn of events at the cemetery leaves them in no doubt about the validity of his claims. Equipped with titanium stakes, silver bullets, holy wax earplugs, holy water, and the holy grail, the trio head for Transylvania where the big breasted leader of the werewolves, Stirba (Sybil Danning), is about to celebrate her 10th millennium in the company of her hairy pals.Incredibly camp and unbelievably silly, Howling II is an absolutely awful piece of cheezy 80s horror, one that has to be seen to be believed. Among the incredible crud on offer: Christopher Lee sporting 'cool' 80s sunglasses in a nightclub; Jimmy 'Spender' Nail as a new wave punk; crap punk band Babel, who only seem to know the one (bloody awful) song; Lee spouting random occult gobbledegook; a dwarf whose eyes explode; more Transylvanian peasant revelry than you can shake a stick at (the locals never seem to stop dancing!); a hilarious werewolf threesome; the return of the eyeless dwarf as a masked killer; Stirba launching a bat at a priest, the flappy critter seemingly taking up residence in the dead man's mouth.Some crude gore helps make matters a little more bearable, but the film's undeniable high point is Danning baring her impressive chest; director Philippe Mora was so happy with this shot that he repeats it numerous times during the film's closing credits (accompanied by Babel singing their one song yet again!).
AaronCapenBanner Appallingly stupid, poorly conceived sequel stars Christopher Lee(quite a comedown from his Hammer Films stardom!) as a mysterious hunter of werewolves, who persuades the brother of Karen White(Dee Wallace from Part I, absent here.) to accompany him to Transylvania(of course!) where he must destroy a powerful female werewolf and her clan, before they take over the world(or some such thing). Havoc ensues.Joe Dante did not return to direct this mess(never asked, apparently!) which was good news for him, since this is a true embarrassment for all concerned, though if you're a Sybil Danning fan, the bizarre ending credit sequence will no doubt be the highlight(it was!)
trashgang Howling II picks in at the ending of The Howling (1981) and has Christopher Lee on board. We follow Ben White (Reb Brown) the brother of Karen White (who died in the first Howling) who wants to know what happened with his sister and decide to follow Stefan Crosscoe (Christopher Lee) to Transilvania to hunt down a gang of werewolves. This all looks promising but I can tell you that it isn't what it should be.The reason for this turkey is the fact that The Howling 2 should have been a comedy but once shot the producers decided to at scary elements to it. That explains the bad editing and the fact that inserts of the werewolves looked ridiculous. But not only that, the acting wasn't convincing too and it's clearly to see that Lee saw that he was in a turkey, he just says his words without any emotions. Not only that, some werewolves really looked laughable and people just howling didn't add towards the scariness or horror element. Some parts were shot in the UK so they added a Gothic/Punk club, but even that was a mistake. On the walls you can see Specimen (gothband) and G.B.H. (punk) amongst others but also Batcave. Batcave was a goth club in Soho London. Not only the movie looks like it didn't fit well, the end credits are the only thing really worth watching because it's a compilation of alternate takes and deleted takes combined with Sybil Danning ripping of her shirt 18 times to show her buxom juggs. Be advised, The Howling franchise is the worst entry you will ever see up to 2012. Gore 0/5 Nudity 2/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
