AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

trashgang Just listen to the sound used for the score, soooooo eighties, I'm sure they used the Korg M-1 for that. But on to the movie itself. Almost afraid to watch it and not for the reason that it is a horror but for the fact that it enters into the ridiculous Howling franchise. Opening it does with the fact that a castle had to be closed in the 15th century due some weird circumstances. A werewolf. Move further 500 years were a bunch of people do enter the castle. One by one they disappear. Who is the killer? Is it the butler. Yeah right, seen that story a few times before isn't it Agatha Christie? You have to wait until the final of this flick who is the werewolf. Nothing to do with the other stories this flick doesn't offer any gore or red stuff. It's a pure whodunit slasher flick with the killer being a werewolf. But one that doesn't offer anything for the horror geeks. You almost never see the werewolf. And the attacks are done off-screen.A bit of red stuff here and there but not mentionable, only one decapitation but cheesy. What's funny is the fact that Elisabeth Shé (here as Marylou) appears in this entry but also in the next one, Howling VI and Howling:New Moon Rising as Marylou and Mary Lou. She's also goes naked in Howling V. A perfect example why horror was death back then around that era. Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 0/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

homecoming8 "Howling V: The Rebirth" was to my knowledge never released in Holland on VHS back in the days. To this day, it's also never released on DVD which is strange, considering most sequels were released like III, IV and even VI. After viewing Part V, it's no longer a mystery: it has to be the worst of all. "The Howling" has something in common with another horror classic, "The Amityville Horror". They both spawned a lot of cheap sequels which had nothing to do with the original story. At least "Howling II" was a guilty-pleasure for me, so bad's it's actually entertaining. At least there were some gory effects in there. "Howling III" (from Part II director Phillip Mora) was awful. "Howling IV" was even worse besides a couple of good special effects from Steve Johnson. So how bad could Part V be compared to those ? "Howling V" is the cheapest one, the location is for 90% a boring castle in Hungary. The cast is terrible and there are no werewolves on the screen. Wait a minute ? No werewolves in a "Howling" movie ?? That's right, there was apparently no money for any effects. Instead we get a dull "who's the killer" story. The game "Clue" in a castle. No thrills, no excitement, no laughs. Very hard to sit through. "Howling V: The Rebirth" is a cheap and awful mess which doesn't live up to his title. On the original "The Howling" DVD there's an interesting interview with director Joe Dante. He doesn't like any of the sequels either. But any "Howling" sequel before this one is at least better than this mess. Avoid, you've been warned..

lone-wolf-007 Basically this is the werewolf version of Ten Little Indians. A group of people end up stranded at a castle during a snowstorm and while they wait for it to end someone or something begins to pick them off one by one. With the howling and teeth marks on the bodies it points to one of them not being what they seem. This is actually a fairly descent Howling movie but it does have a small budget. I will give credit in the fact that they did well with what they had. The ending is also somewhat clever if you are not paying close attention throughout the movie. Overall not bad for what it is and is better than some of the other sequels.

preppy-3 A bunch of people are invited to this remote castle. As far as they know they have nothing in common with each other. Then they start getting murdered one by one--they can't escape the castle because of a huge blizzard outside--and one of them is the murderer...and a werewolf.Sort of like Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians". It's very atmospheric with some good acting and a real neat ending that got me by surprise. There's not a lot of blood and gore however and ALL the werewolf stuff is kept off screen (!!!). The budget on this film must have been tiny. Still I was entertained and enjoyed it. A neat little horror film--just don't expect it to be a "Howling" movie. I give it a 7.
