MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Michael Ledo Joe (Ed Speleers) is the guard or conductor on a midnight train out of London. We discover he was passed over for a promotion and is working a double shift. After we get 10 minutes of his boring character, we get to know the passengers by his brief encounters as he checks their tickets. It is a rainy night. There is a full moon and Joe doesn't get any respect from his passengers "why don't you get a real job."The train is soon forced to a stop, surrounded by woods. We anticipate the struggle that is about to commence and have already decided who we want to see die first and survive. The DVD cover reveals the face of the creature described as a werewolf in the write-up. In reality it is more like an Urak-hai Orc with the face of a Morlock and wolf legs. You will get to see plenty of it, just hang in there. Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

BA_Harrison Every carriage is a buffet car for a pack of werewolves when a red-eye train from Waterloo comes to a sudden halt on the track, having hit a stag. Down on his luck guard Joe (Ed Speleers) tries to keep his passengers calm while the driver (Sean Pertwee) inspects the damage, but finds his job more stressful than usual when the lycanthropes lurking in the woods launch an attack.There are several moments in Howl where one cannot help but roll their eyes, far-fetched elements including the barricading of a carriage using some handy dandy tools, an engineering student who knows how to operate and repair a train, and one dumb sap who wanders off into his fog shrouded surroundings because he hears a plaintive cry for help (needless to say, he doesn't make it back alive).In its favour, however, are a well-drawn cast of characters, plenty of tense action and atmosphere, a reasonable amount of blood and gore, and some of the most impressive looking cinematic werewolves since Neil Marshall's Dog Soldiers: ugly buggers with glowing eyes, massive maws full of razor sharp teeth, manky skin and matted fur, realised by an effective mix of practical makeup and CGI. So while the script might not rewrite the rules, Howl still has lots to recommend it.

ashsmith-61686 I read reviews about Howl that gave 2 out of 10, how is that possible?Were you watching the same film as I did?I found it genuinely scary, it kept me on the edge of my seat, and bearing in mind, I have stayed away from this genre since Dog Soldiers, It was a howling surprise to watch this Bloody Brilliant Brit-flick, after some - very - negative reactions. It had everything, night, rain, suspense, and death.It is a true British horror film in every sense. I recommend this film as a 'must watch', and as a future 'cult' favourite. A howling success! Ash

MitchellCombden Howl (2015) directed by Paul Hyett is a horror film rooted in the werewolf sub genre. the plot revolves around a group of characters who are attacked by a werewolf when their train breaks down in the middle of nowhere. they must all try to band together and survive the night.obviously the plot is nothing special. its pretty generic but it does allow the director to build some tension here and there and create some atmosphere. surprisingly though this film ends up being more of a gore fest than a spooky atmosphere drenched werewolf tale. rightfully so though, they had a decent little budget to show off some gruesome gore effects and it all looked great. so just a touch of atmosphere and loads of gore work pretty well for this film. but it does definitely limit it, causing it to fall short of being more than just a notch above average. what made films like the howling and an American werewolf in London so good was the healthy balance of gore and atmosphere, howl on the other hand just goes for the gore. the acting is OK, and the characters are all pretty likable with the exception of the generic idiot characters of course. the setting is pretty spooky but as I have already mentioned, its not used to its full potential. the film does also drag a little bit once things get going. its pretty understandable considering the plot is pretty thin. its a difficult task to make the plot go anywhere and create some great scenes without making the characters all stupid and unlikable.overall id say Howl (2015) is worth the watch and is a memorable werewolf flick. although it has its issues it has some good gore and some pretty decent creature designs and a few cool scenes, as well as a touch of atmosphere.the verdict: 6.5/10
