The Howling
I've put this one off for years because I have to be honest....I don't really like werewolf movies. However, The Howling has a long list of entries and this is the year to hammer them out. If I can watch all of the Puppet Master movies, I can suffer through this....
Poor Karen White is a news anchor with a problem: She has a stalker that also happens to be a serial killer. She confronts him in a police sting operation, but it went bad and the stalker is shot and killed (allegedly) . Actually, that's a good thing. Anyhoo, Karen instantly has amnesia and is sent to a mountain retreat to dry out with her husband.
The colony is filled with mostly rednecks and country folk and they all have their little eccentricities. But naturally, not all is as it seems. After a 'wolf' attack, Karen's husband becomes an werewolf and hooks up with the local werewolf nymphomaniac for some dirty werewolf sexing. It's gross and oddly not doggie-style. Turns out, the entire colony is a refuge for werewolves. After realizing that her husband is doing dirty with someone else, things all start to fall apart and she calls her friend to come hang out. Little did she know this was a death sentence for her friend who is kill by, you guessed it, a werewolf.
As the climax starts creeping to it's peak, we find out that the stalker was a werewolf the whole time and is damn near invincible...even surviving acid to the face. However, the dead girls friend brought a gun with silver bullets and lays down the law. He also burns them alive in a barn. Not THAT invincible after all. As they bug out, she's bitten by another werewolf and I think we all know what that means.
When Karen returns to her TV job, she is determined to alert the world of the existence of werewolves by wolfing out on live TV and then quickly shot by the very guy that helped her escape. I'm getting mixed signals from that guy....
Monday: More hairy dog people go woof....
