In director Joe Dantes (Gremlins, Small Soldiers) psycho-sexual werewolf thriller, news anchorwoman Karen (Dee Wallace, ET the Extraterrestrial, Critters, Cujo), is sent to a relaxation colony after suffering a terrifying ordeal with a homicidal stalker. But this relaxing vaca with her hubby is ruined by werewolves, of course! After Karens husband gets bit, she has to prevent herself and friends from being turned. Gnarly!
This movie came out in 1981, the same year as another werewolf classic, An American Werewolf in London. This film went under the radar, probably due to the wider, campy appeal of An American Werewolf in London, versus the more adult thriller tone of The Howling. With the announcement that Andy Muschietti (IT: Chapter 1 & 2) is in early talks to direct a new version of The Howling for Netflix, its a great time to revisit this movie as a potential addition to the canon of horror classics.
