... View MoreMy friends and I have bad movie night from time to time, we go out, and rent the worst movies we can find. We've seen Slugs, Mosquito, Blood Diner, Redneck Zombies, Meet the Feebles, and this one leaves them all in the dust for the title of worst movie ever made. It is completely, and in all other ways unwatchable. After watching Howling 7, I can watch movies I once thought to be terrible before I knew what terrible was. Like Howard the Duck. And Masters of the Universe. It's just that bad. Clive Turner should be barred from ever making another movie again. It's completely mind numbing. I mean, it's so bad and so pointless they have to do a cut scene of two people that have nothing to do with the movie talking about plot lines they forgot to actually write in the movie to begin with just so the ending makes sense. There's an escape from prison that is just talked about, but you don't actually see it. There's killings that you never see, but are talked about. Plot twists that you're told about after the fact as though you were already supposed to know about it. Just terrible.
... View MoreI have watched so many bad movies over my lifetime - on purpose, and just for kicks. I loved how Richard O'Brien parodied old B Grade sci-fi/horror films of the 1950's with the Rocky Horror Show. I loved Mystery Science Theatre 3000. I even loved Plan 9 From Outer Space and some of Ed Wood's other trash films; as well as Andy Warhol's and John Waters. All good stuff.One day I knew that this would lead me to find something close to the worst movie ever made. Well guys, this is it. This "Howling sequel" involves approximately 90 minutes of rednecks standing around talking, then line dancing, then standing around and talking, then some more line dancing. About 3 - 4 times during this "film" some extra wearing a really bad bear suit steps out of a line of trees at the edge of the woods and then back in again. I'm not kidding.Hats' off to you "Howling: New Moon Rising", you are the worst of the worst that perfectly good celluloid has ever been wasted on... by far.
... View MoreI don't understand why they even made this film. There is no story, no scares, and nothing new to the series. The only part of this film of any value is the variety of clips they used from the previous Howling films. Why on earth they thought they could get away with using a steady-cam with a red filter to portray a werewolf is beyond me.Only the very well rendered cover/poster art for this film gives it a reason to exist.If you are a fan of the Howling series or werewolf movies in general, then the first four films are as far as I advise you go. The werewolf film as a genre has little to pick from as far as gems, but New Moon Rising is perhaps the worst ever conceived.
... View MoreTruly awful :) So much so it's good - so maybe it should get a 5? Being a bit of a werewolf movie fan I did the Pokemon thing with The Howling and got the lot - all seven. Not only is this one definitely the worst of the bunch (forget all those Howling II comments!), it's the very worst werewolf movie ever - for SO many reasons! I love it! First off, the opening shots over the credits, the director can't direct, the cameraman can't frame the shots, the cutting room have no idea how to cut - it really does set the tone of the whole movie. The dialogue needs to be heard to be believed, especially the conversation in the bar about various ailments - seriously, you need to stick with this film. NOBODY can act, the script is awful, the characters are either characterLESS, wooden, or if you're feeling generous, quirky to a man / woman - check out the old bar owners. It gets better...the whole thing is set to a surreal Country and Western soundtrack, with plenty of line-dancing, yes, line dancing. The pace is pedestrian throughout, there's no tension, the plot simply isn't a plot. They use this 'wolf's eye filter thing' for kill shots (not that there's many of them) and the transformation scene is amazing! Take a photo of a person and another of some monkey creature that looks as much like a werewolf as the creature from the black lagoon, then get the cheapest freeware morph package you can find on 'Google' and you'll get the idea. I swear the background morphs into bits of the werewolf too. I warn you, watching this is an endurance exercise - a test of YOUR character - can you sit through it all WITHOUT fast-forwarding any of it (I couldn't... but then I'm no fan of Country Music). If you love werewolf movies, you MUST watch this - it sets the baseline against which to measure everything else. If you like vampire movies too and have seen Ankle Biters, Howling VII is a similar experience. Oh and did I mention the weird preacher that looks like Abe Lincolyn without his top hat and the sheriff in the white suit and that they flash back to chunks of the Howling IV and V and that the main guy is an Australian with a ponytail (Clive Turner), who is involved in one way or another in, yes you've guessed it, Howling IV and V? Now you'd have thought being an Ozzie he'd have been in in Howling III. Oh yes, this movie is special, sure nuff. Enjoy ;-)
