Look, this movie calls it'sef the Howling Reborn not the Howling. It isn't a remake or a reboot because it isn't trying to retell the same story again and the Howling movies aren't exactly tied together. Aside from part 1 & 2, this series has always gone off and done new things with each sequel. Marsupials, anyone? This is kind of like a Twilight movie for people who HATE Twilight. It's surpising how fun it is and keeps you on your toes. It's definitely worth checking out.
What's great about it: It surpises you by being better than you'd think it would be.
What's not so great: It's not the type of movie you'd expect from the Howling franchise.
