Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

mrlore473 The Howling 2 is a Horror movie featuring Christopher Lee, it's about werewolves and a society who transforms people into them, at least I think it's about that it's hard to understand, it's convoluted and has random scenes with no purpose. To tell you the truth I'm not sure if that is really the story of the movie because sometimes my mind just went blank because of what my eyes were seeing. If you want to waste some time in a dumb movie at least watch something really dumb. It's not smart, it's not well done, sometimes it's hard to believe they weren't making a comedy, but that makes it funnier. Overall I'd say it's worth a watch for resource purposes, but beware it's dumb as hell.

Scott LeBrun Incredibly idiotic, senseless, and utterly sleazy sequel to the popular 1981 werewolf film "The Howling" stars Sir Christopher Lee as Stefan Crosscoe, an occult expert determined to wipe out lycanthropes, in particular those who associate with the fiendish queen werewolf bitch Stirba (Sybil Danning). He makes a point of telling Ben White (Reb Brown), the brother of the Dee Wallace character from the first film, the specifics of her "death". When Ben is unable to deny the evidence, he heads off, with reporter Jenny Templeton (Annie McEnroe) in tow, for Transylania, to help Stefan in his werewolf killing mission.The story is absurd, the dialogue hilariously awful; poor Sir Christopher and Sybil have to utter some pretty dumb lines. The makeup effects are crude to the nth degree, but are delicious in their egregious lack of quality. The scene with the eyeballs exploding is pretty cool. In some ways, "Stirba - Werewolf Bitch" goes back to Gothic basics in a way by exploiting flavourful European Old World atmosphere. But it adds a lot of spice to the deal by being so damn trashy. The sexy ladies present dress quite provocatively, and Sybil is willing to disrobe and show off her ample assets. The New Wave pop soundtrack is a total hoot; we're made to listen to that priceless title theme song a number of times. Original "Howling" author Gary Brandner co-scripted, from his novel "Howling II: The Return", and maintains a very tongue in cheek approach. With the level of both cheese and trash on display, it's clear that this was never meant to be taken seriously.Sir Christopher looks pretty serious here, though; the movie does benefit from his professionalism. Sybil is a mildly amusing antagonist. Brown and McEnroe are just sort of there as hero and heroine. Marsha A. Hunt, Judd Omen, Ferdy Mayne (who has the same character name as John Carradine in "Howling" No. 1), Patrick Field, Jimmy Nail, and Jiri Krytinar co-star.Directed by Philippe Mora, who has the distinction of being director on two "Howling" sequels, the other being "The Marsupials: The Howling III".The end credits are actually a highlight.Seven out of 10.

Wuchak No, but it's somewhere in the top ten. In my opinion, 1965's "Village of the Giants" takes the top prize, mainly because it's entertaining on different levels from beginning to end. "Howling II" is also entertaining on multiple levels, but it's often just dull, which is why I can't give it the top spot.First things first: "Howling II" (1985) shouldn't be spoken of in the same breath as the original 1981 "The Howling" because that film is a werewolf classic -- one of the greatest werewolf films ever. "Howling II" is just too low-budget, low-grade and campy to compare. Let me put it this way, every Friday the 13th sequel is a masterpiece compared to "Howling II." What's that tell ya? Still, there are a number of things that make this a worthwhile bad movie, like the priceless title ("Your Sister is a Werewolf"),Christopher Lee trying to keep a straight face, Sybil Danning hamming it up as the sexy werewolf queen in various eccentric outfits, the memorable theme song by Stephen Parsons (including a live lip-syncing), and the Los Angeles/Czech Republic cinematographic (featuring lots of Gothic props, buildings and the like).The film was directed by Philippe Mora who also did the next sequel "The Marsupials: The Howling III," which is slightly better, but not as memorable or entertaining. As far as I know, "Communion" (1989) is Mora's only real notable film, but then I haven't seen most of his movies and don't recognize the ones in his filmography either.The film runs 91 minutes (too long).GRADE: D+ or C- (but C+ or B- for entertainment value)

pesic-1 This is one schizophrenic film that through either some miracle or the genius of people involved with post-production manages to generate a distinct tone that I personally found extremely enjoyable. This is a film filled with contrasts. Some elements are really good. Cinematography is for the most part competent, and all those scenes shot at night are competently lit. But sometimes you will notice a scene that is shot in a weird way or that betrays either a zero budget, a total lack of concern for the quality of the film, or outright incompetence. It is as though the screenwriter, the director, the actors and the editor had completely different ideas about what the film was about. I wouldn't be surprised if the project started out as a straight horror film but after a week or two of shooting they decided to turn it into a comedy. I would love to know just how this messy project developed. I doubt that anyone had the vision from day one and wanted the film to turn out exactly the way it did.Christopher Lee is great as usual, and Reb Brown is his usual self: lots of screaming and shooting on his part. Sybil Danning is clearly loving that crazy role of hers and her scenes are always fun to watch. All in all, this film is surprisingly enjoyable, in part due to the fact that every single scene is awkward in some way, be it the lines, the acting, the blocking, the costumes, the editing, or some weird element of the mise-en-scene. This film has it all: horny werewolves, nudity, Reb Brown, zombie midgets, holy grenades, (in)voluntary humour, and an awesome score performed by Babel. For me personally this film is a comedy gold mine, because every time I see it I notice some new thing that makes me laugh. I think the charm of the film lies in the fact that whether intentionally or unintentionally it turned out to be outrageously funny and whoever had the last word during post-production realized it and apparently deliberately put the material together in a comedic way. Watch this, and watch it again. It will only get better.
