Plot Summary:
|
Supervision-popping special effects highlight an updated werewolf whodunit. TV newswoman, Karen Fair-skinned, goes on a retreat after a traumatic incident with a serial killer. But is she in effect safe? And what should she fear more: regaining her honour or the creepy residents of "The Colony"? Followed by many unsatisfying and unconnected sequels. Helped launch shortlived werewolf craze in original eighties.

Co-written by John Sayles (with whom Dante had theretofore collaborated on Piranha), The Howling is loosely based on a 1977 bestseller sooner than Gary Brander. After a f...
