A Brilliant Conflict
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreClose shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
... View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
... View MoreJust kidding.if you can make it all the way through, at least it has Christopher Lee, but during the end credits Sybil Danning has a scene repeated from the film where she rips off her shirt and bares her breast. They repeat it like 17 times. It made my mom laugh out loud.
... View MoreThis is a weak sequal to "The Howling", one of my favourite horror movies. "The Howling II" was very different. The link to the first movie is that the start of this movie happens during the funeral of a reporter who was in the first film. Her brother is the lead of this film. He meets a colleague of his dead sister, and they hook up to look into what mess happened to her and why she was killed. Christopher Lee is the biggest star of the film, even though he looked very uncomfortable and later he regretted being in this flick. They tried to make Lee a type of Van Helsing or werewolf hunter. The film is set in America somewhere, but later ends up in Transylvania, the land of the werewolves. It's a place that the lead werewolf of the world, a very old woman, becomes a nightmare. This is just more fantasy than horror. There are some gruesome scenes but the werewolves look nothing like they did in the first movie. Here in Howling 2 they just resemble humans in furry Halloween costumes. There are some ridiculous scenes. The punks are there to show Christopher Lee how times have changed since his Hammer Horror film days as Dracula in the 60's and early 70's.
... View MoreThe brother of Karen White who died in the first film is told the truth about his sister's death and helps an investigator track down the werewolves that made her what she is through Europe.This film starred: Christopher Lee, Annie McEnroe & Reb Brown.Howling 2 is worse than the first film and I didn't like the first film. If I thought The Howling was bad I couldn't imagine the troubles I faced trying to watch this film. Many questions may be asked about this film but the only question i want answered is what class-A drug was Christopher Lee on to star on this film, I f I was him after this film I would have strapped my agent to a chair and made him/her watch this film over and over again until his eyes started to bleed through how bad it is.*/***** Awful.
... View MoreHowling II: ... Your Sister Is a Werewolf' is an incredibly dumb title for an incredibly dumb sequel.The film opens at the funeral of Karen White, the TV reporter who was shot dead after turning into a dodgy looking werewolf at the end of the original The Howling. As the mourners leave, occult investigator Stefan Crosscoe (Christopher Lee) approaches Karen's brother Ben (Reb Brown) and reporter Jenny Templeton (Annie McEnroe) claiming that Karen cannot rest in peace because she is a werewolf.They initially dismiss him as a wacko, but a later horrifying turn of events at the cemetery leaves them in no doubt about the validity of his claims. Equipped with titanium stakes, silver bullets, holy wax earplugs, holy water, and the holy grail, the trio head for Transylvania where the big breasted leader of the werewolves, Stirba (Sybil Danning), is about to celebrate her 10th millennium in the company of her hairy pals.Incredibly camp and unbelievably silly, Howling II is an absolutely awful piece of cheezy 80s horror, one that has to be seen to be believed. Among the incredible crud on offer: Christopher Lee sporting 'cool' 80s sunglasses in a nightclub; Jimmy 'Spender' Nail as a new wave punk; crap punk band Babel, who only seem to know the one (bloody awful) song; Lee spouting random occult gobbledegook; a dwarf whose eyes explode; more Transylvanian peasant revelry than you can shake a stick at (the locals never seem to stop dancing!); a hilarious werewolf threesome; the return of the eyeless dwarf as a masked killer; Stirba launching a bat at a priest, the flappy critter seemingly taking up residence in the dead man's mouth.Some crude gore helps make matters a little more bearable, but the film's undeniable high point is Danning baring her impressive chest; director Philippe Mora was so happy with this shot that he repeats it numerous times during the film's closing credits (accompanied by Babel singing their one song yet again!).
