There are a lot of things to be praised in this movie. From cool and for the time advanced transformation scenes, clever and imaginative visuals to good soundtrack and decent acting. But where "Howling" fails is where it's main strength should be. Lead heroine isn't really that memorable and while you do feel sympathy for her, you never really feel too scared for her. There isn't really that feeling of dread or even a long and nerve wrecking chase scene. I liked Terry far more than Karen and would have liked her better in the main role. Also, problem with horror movies including monsters is that one day it will look old and not really scary and that is understandable and the movie shouldn't be bashed because of that, but in the same time we have to admit it isn't scary. I give it 7/10 and I DO recommend it, because it really is crafted with love and care and you will enjoy it, because it is, after all, a good and fun movie.
