About this product

Product Information

Based on the best-selling novel by Gary Brandner, this horror film makes effective use of the classic werewolf tale. Dee Wallace stars as Karen White, a popular female reporter in Los Angeles who cannot escape the horror of a traumatic experience that she suffered while trying to capture Eddie Quist (Robert Ricardo), a dangerous serial killer. When her psychologist (Patrick Macnee) recommends a retreat to "The Colony," up the Northern California coast, she reluctantly agrees, hoping to recover from her nightmarish visions. Karen and her husband (Christopher Stone) arrive at the remote retreat and are shocked at the bizarre behavior of the motley crew of residents. Lurking in the ominous Northern California woods, blanketed by fog, strange sounds can be heard at night, luring the members of the retreat into the forest. In anguish, Karen stumbles on the deadly secret of the community: when sexually excited, they turn into werewolves! The horrified journalist tries to escape from the retreat, battling the lair of leering lycanthropes in a fight for her life. Superb special effects add to the picture, with several shocking human-to-monster transformation sequences.

A little advice
Silver bullets do not work people! They are not accurate! To kill a werewolf you set it on fire or you beat it to death with a big club or baseball bat made out of PURE SILVER! Make sense?

A Good Scare Movie.
Of all the "Howling" movie series I think this one is the best by far. Pretty good special effects and the acting was good or as good that can be expected considering the budget probably wasn't that big..

Happy Halloween
Viewed this movie years ago when it was new. As good as I remember. My wife doesn't like the part where the husband cheats on his marriage.

Great special effects
This movie is greatly under appreciated in my opinion. The best special effects at the time. On par with American Werewolf in London. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

turns out, they were wolves.
totally classic werewolf movie with a bit of '70s sleaze, but balanced with social commentary in the breakdown of heteronormative relationships. Dee Wallace is the stand-out of EVERYTHING she's in. adding this to the collection of ww flicks, along with American Werewolf in London, Silver Bullet, Ginger Snaps, Dog Soldiers, and Late Phases.
