Nice little English horror flick: passengers and staff on a train in the middle of nowhere fight against a pack of blood and flesh craving Werewolves. Solid cast, a good production value refined by some gore. Solid movie of the B category.

Howl: A pretty good English Werewolf film! Horror on the midnight express as it breaks down in the middle of a forest. The driver goes to investigate but is swiftly devoured by a Werewolf. The rest of the crew and passengers then attempt to survive the onslaught of the creatures.People are dragged through windows, after being bitten an old woman turns into a Werewolf. Blood, guts, limbs are thrown about. The Werewolves are more human-like in this case but having wolves teeth and triple jointed legs. In the early stages of transformation they look more like Zombies.Directed by Paul Hyett known mostly for his special make up effects on Doomsday, The Children and The Descent. Definitely one to see. 8/10

Howl is a good horror flick at least until the end where it got predictable and weak yet it engages you nevertheless. Any effects or makeup used are also done quite realistically. Probably the best performance among the characters would be Elliot Cowan as the cocky, selfish Adrian and even Ania Marson as the frail Jenny. The thick forest, a full moon, a train stuck at the tracks, the howls..all are captured so well to add to the spook factor. Few scenes lack conviction, for example initially the werewolves are unable to open the train doors but they do it easily later in the movie. And as told earlier, the climax could have been as tense as the rest of the movie. Yet, this movie is very watchable, grab your popcorn :)

I read reviews about Howl that gave 2 out of 10, how is that possible?Were you watching the same film as I did?I found it genuinely scary, it kept me on the edge of my seat, and bearing in mind, I have stayed away from this genre since Dog Soldiers, It was a howling surprise to watch this Bloody Brilliant Brit-flick, after some - very - negative reactions. It had everything, night, rain, suspense, and death.It is a true British horror film in every sense. I recommend this film as a 'must watch', and as a future 'cult' favourite. A howling success! Ash
