Movie No. 63 (2017): HOWL

Howl (2015)
Director: Paul Hyett
Cast: Mark Huckerby, Nick Ostler, Amit Shah

The title suggest the movie is of the horror genre. It lives up to expectations from a horror movie. It may not be among the best horror movies ever made, or the best of the werewolf sub-genre, but Howl really gives real and decent thrill, all with near-escapes and gore. 

Howl's milieu is similar to Train To Busan's. The former has werewolves while the latter has zombies that haunt and terrorize the passengers. In both cases, there are more reasons to like than to dislike the movies. In Howl, in my opinion, it would be more thrilling had the werewolves not been shown in (many) close-ups. Their howling and shadows as they move past the bushes are more than enough for the audience to feel the terror. 

But then, I enjoyed the show.
