"One of theibest werewolf movies ever made!" -Los Angeles
From the director of Gremlins and Piranha comes the ultimate masterpiece of primal terror. Filled with edge-of-your-seat suspense, "Genuine thrills [and] amazing special effects" (Us), this riveting werewolf tale sinks its teeth into your deepest fears and never lets go.
Severely shaken after a near-fatal encounter with a serial killer, TV newscaster Karen White (Dee Wallace, E.T.) takes some much-needed time off. Hoping to conquer her inner demons, she heads for "the Colony," a secluded retreat where her new neighbors are just a tad too eager to make her feel at home. Also, there seems to be a bizarre link between her would-be attacker and this supposedly safe haven. And when, after nights of being tormented by savage shrieks and unearthly cries, Karen ventures into the forest to find answers, she makes a terrifying discovery. Now she must fight not only for her life... but for her very soul!

A magnificent Disc - 4 out of 5 (8/12/2003)
1981 was the year that the werewolves really put the bite on the ticket buyers. THE HOWLING led the pack and it was followed shortly by AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON and WOLFEN.
The American came up the box office winner, but it was THE HOWLING that really put the bite into the throats of the horror fans. Director Joe Dante took the sexy novel written by Gary Brandner and made it less sexy and more scary. The result was a movie that still holds it's own up against some of the best horror fi

Much better than previous bare bones version - 4.75 out of 5 (8/26/2003)
