Plot: A villainous carnival owner traps a young werewolf to include in his growing menagerie of inhuman exhibits.
I love the 1st Howling film, but this was so bad, I didnt actually watch most of it, it was just backgroud noise. Someone had it free with they're DVD player.
Whilst the first Howling film was a solid example of the Werewolf genre's re-invention, not many positives can be made about this cheeply made, diabolically acted B-film. The opening scene; a slow-mo first person pusuit of a terrified, blood spattered girl through a shadowy forest, makes for an appitising starter but then the plot falters the rest of the way. The concept of vampire vs. werewolf is an intersting precursor to Underworld, but ultimately poorly executed. The story's tongue is well and truly in cheek in The Freaks, all but plagerising the Todd Browning classic in an attempt to be postmodern but never getting beyond the point of resonant. Oh, and the special effects for the werewolf are lousy, taking a step back from the prosthetic wizardry of American Werewolf and the original Howling to return to the 1940s style of men in furry costumes. I recommend this film if you have some free time and want a no brainer. Otherwise, I suggest you stick with the big four werewolf films.
A definite improvement upon the last two sequels, even though it gets off to a slow start it's pace is electrifying compared to the previous entries into the series. Though it's not a great film at least it try's to be different and more interesting as far as the plot goes.
The movies low budget is apparent and the acting by some is very poor with the exception of Bruce Payne, who, as always, does the business at playing the villian superbly. And though the budget of the movie was limited, the make-up effects seem to have been done pretty well.
It's one of the stronger "Howling" sequels, but still an average movie.
