Do-over...

 The Howling IV, The Original Nightmare


     Let's call this a more faithful adaptation of the source material: books. Yes, those things with letters arranged in a formulaic manner that convey information provided you know how to decipher. The movies were based on a series of books, and this is basically a reboot. 

     Much like the first movie, our main protagonist heads to a remote town to dry out. Marie, one of our mains, is having visions of nuns and werewolves. Much of the story is the same, but there's several differences:

     There's no commune, just a half abandoned town

     There's no stalking serial killer

     Nobody is a TV anchor

     However, the biggest difference is this is WAY more boring than the first film. This boring-ass turd would be perfect for USA's Groovy Movies. You just sit there on a Saturday afternoon, watching this trash and napping half an hour in, only to wake up right at the climax and subsequent credit roll. Perfect timing!!!  I used to read a lot of horror novels when I was young. Only 1 of those books was a werewolf story. Turns out I like werewolf novels even less than werewolf movies. 

"SHUT UP!!!"

"...and this is what I think of your stupid book!!!"

Thursday: Nobody asks for the origin story of a turd....
