Trivia

Quotes
Sheriff: [pulls over to talk to Marie and Tom in their parked convertible by the side of a dirt road] Well now, just where is it we're tryin' to get to?
Marie Adams: Good afternoon, officer. We're trying to find Drago.
Sheriff: Drago, huh?
Tom Billings: Yeah, she and her husband are renting a cottage there.
Sheriff: You stayin' there too?
Tom Billings: No, I'm a friend giving her a ride.
Sheriff: Well, friend: you head on right. A little ways along there's a break to your left. Now you take that. But if you get to the town... you're goin' too far.

Review

Featured review

Of seven movies this is the one closest to any of the books.

Gary Brandner wrote The Howling trilogy. Seven The Howling

movies were made from these books. Even though this movie

may seem like a remake of the original, it is actually the one movie

closest to the first book. When seen from this perspective it's a

pretty good movie. Plus you get to see Michael T. Weiss (of TV's

Pretender fame) with a mullet! What more can you ask for from a horror movie with the number 4

after it?
