Only 5 minutes into the movie and the boom operator makes sure that his microphone can be seen in the picture. You know what you will get, trash. And being another entry in the Howling franchise this makes you wonder, is this going to be the worst. So far Howling III was the worst.
What I was wondering before I started was the effects used. Jason Barnett worked for the Todd Masters (Twilight, True Blood, Fringe,...)company before he went on his own. This is his first flick before he did the effects for Hellraiser Bloodline together with Kevin Yagher. He went further to MIB, Sucker Punch and so many other blockbusters.
But does it shows here that we had two masters at work? Not really, the transformation into a werewolf wasn't the best I have seen. Maybe they had more work to make the freaks. Here and there they show their abilities...
But what a terrible flick this is, country music as score...stupid script, especially the first 15 minutes. That until the freaks come in, a carnival of weirdos. Guess who joins them, yes, the werewolf. But even then it's more about painting a church and the carnival itself. One well known face to see, Antonio Fargas (Bellamy). He is in the carnival. This is really a boring flick with freaks to show and that's all. O yes, there was a werewolf, but not worth mentioning. Almost no red stuff or even gore to see.
