Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

b_kite A teenage outcast discovers he is a werewolf, and must battle a pack of the brutal creatures when they threaten him and his new girlfriend.This reboot sixteen years after the last entry tries to cash in on the popular "Twilight" movie franchise of the time, but fails flat with mediocre CW style acting and a plot full of holes. It gets credit for its use of practical werewolf costumes, which at times look good and other times not so much. There is a terrible CGI transformation as well. The final werewolf battle has its moments (a werewolf gets thrown through not one but THREE walls) but it's undone by some crappy shaky-cam camerawork. I will say this for the movie. Despite its flaws and a so-so finale, it still remains fairly watchable.

Brooke G I recently went through the Twilight movies, i had seen the 1st 2 a while ago but decided to revisit them again followed by the sequels.After I had finished them i decided to go through The Howling movies, i was sure i had seen the 1st but did not remember any of it when i watched it recently followed by the much more many sequels than i thought it had.There were some lame links between most of the Howling movies, they seem to be after thoughts but over all were pretty bad and disappointing. The Howling: Reborn felt like it was not part of the series and the fact that it was 16 years since the previous Howling was the reason. The previous Howlings all felt dated being made through the 80's and 90's but felt like 70's movies.This movie was clearly made to cash in on the Twilight Sagas success. Landon's character kinda grew on me, Lindsey's character felt right from the beginning and Ivana's character was hot and the best in the movie. The rest of the characters were expendable as far as being interesting.The acting was OK, the story was fine too, the werewolf transformation...when it finally happened...was kinda quick...but then again some of the other Howling movies the transformation was painfully slow. The werewolf look wasn't the best by any means especially as modern as this movie is. In the end it had a nice but predictable twist.It is hard to compare this to the other Howling movies and other than all the action taking place in 1 building, it felt closer to the Twilight stuff than The Howling. Overall i think it matches the best of the Howling franchise and the worst of the Twilight franchise.Howling franchise (My ratings):The Howling (1981) (4/10)Howling II: Stirba - Werewolf Bitch (1985) (3/10)The Marsupials: Howling III (1987) (4/10)Howling IV: The Original Nightmare (1988) (3/10)Howling V: The Rebirth (1989) (5/10)Howling VI: The Freaks (1991) (4/10)Howling: New Moon Rising (1995) (2/10)The Howling: Reborn (2011) (5/10)Others worth mentioning for comparison:Twilight franchise:Twilight (2008) (5/10)The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) (6/10)The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) (6/10)The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011) (6/10)The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012) (7/10)The Company of Wolves (1984) 6/10)Ginger Snaps (2000) (6/10)Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004) (5/10)Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004) (6/10)The Wolfman (2010) (6/10)Red Riding Hood (2011) (6/10)Werewolf: The Beast Among Us (2012) (5/10)Wolves (2014) (5/10)

Seraqui Estasaqui OK. Since I'm a big horror/cult-fan I can sincerely tell u that this was YET ANOTHER BULLSHIT sequel/remake of a great '80's movie. For God's sake, there was no thrill to it, no true gore whatsoever and the only thing that really grabbed my attention was the immense beauty of the villain played by Ivana Milicevic. Truly, Hollywood, you can't be serious by thinking a movie will turn out to be a hit just by copying the title of a great '80's movie, somewhat trying to adapt to the original story and hiring a handful of beautiful people to be the cast. Really, to conclude: An unnecessary sequel/remake of something that used to be a great movie, and if you are new to this shyte I recommend you watch Howling [1981] and The Howling 2 [1985] first and then see for yourself what a bullshit time of copycats we are living in at the moment.Greetz from The Netherlands.

Hellmant 'THE HOWLING: REBORN': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five) This reboot to the 1981 Joe Dante cult classic is sort of like 'TWILIGHT' with werewolves. It's not quite that horrifying but it is definitely aimed at the teen youth market with a lot of the same styled gimmicks. It's full of attractive young actors and the star (Landon Liboiron) looks a lot like 'Harry Potter' (Daniele Randcliffe) actually. There are some cool visuals and effects (the werewolves actually don't look half bad) but it's still got all that cheesy teen angst and melodrama. Not quite as poorly done as the 'TWILIGHT' films but it's still pretty bad.Liboiron plays Will Kidman, an insecure nerd crushing on a popular hot girl at school, Eliana Wynter (Lindsey Shaw). He lives with his father Jack (Frank Schorpion) and has been brought up under the impression that his mom died giving birth to him. Oddly Eliana is impressed by his stalker like obsession with her and invites him to a party one night. Once there Will is drugged by a popular clique of creepy guys and believes he's being pursued by a monster he thinks is a werewolf. Will goes to his friend Sachin (Jesse Rath), a media school nerd working on a horror project, the next day at school and asks him what he knows about werewolves. He soon believes he is becoming a 'teen wolf' himself and also learns that his mother may not be dead after all.The story has nothing to do with the other films in the 'HOWLING' franchise and is a reboot by all senses of the word. It's credited as being based on 'The Howling II' novel and was written and directed by first time filmmaker Joe Nimziki. I haven't seen any other chapters in the 'HOWLING' series except this and the first one so I can't say how it compares to the entire franchise but it definitely doesn't live up to the beloved original. The production values are impressive for such a low budget film it's just a shame they're all spent trying to cash in on the 'TWILIGHT' craze. Fans of that series will probably be more than pleased with this but I doubt die-hard fans of the werewolf franchise it's attached itself to will be happy. Overall I'd say it pretty much matched my pretty low expectations (maybe even exceeded them). I found it mildly amusing and definitely would say this is one time when the rip-off is better than the material it's knocking off (I'm referring to the popular teen vampire series of course).Watch our review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd0S1srQ9T8
