Oh hey you're watching Howling IV tomorrow aren't ya. Really looking forward to that verdict! i hope it's a good one



Sequels is part of the theme, yes. It's actually one of two. I'm difficult, I'm sorry. ^^;

I'm clueless about that second theme. Nothing is jumping out at me. I'm not working with a theme, just picking movies I think everyone should love.

Not only am I watching Howling IV today, I'm about to watch it right NOW!
I was looking forward to it prior to the Hough realization, but now I'm amped up to see this sucka.

Watched and enjoyed Howling IV! First things first. The hair and the clothes!! Hahaha! Oh MY. Okay, got that out of the way.

I'll start with the negatives.
It may have just been the version I watched online, but the dialogue seemed 99 percent dubbed, and it was sloppily done. That annoyed me. The biggest negative for me was the performance by Michael T. Weiss as Richard, husband of Marie. Wooden and comatose are not moody and smoldering. Someone should tell Mr. Weiss that.
Also, the music? Ugh.

The positives.
Very nice work by the lead, Romy Windsor, Her character, along with most of the side characters, was believable and I felt pretty shitty for her, considering all she had to endure. The direction was a bit uneven, which, though I love a few of Hough's films, isnt a massive surprise when taking into account his entire body of work. Still, it was not unimpressive at times.
On to the big transformation sequence. INSANE! It looked painful, like some awful oozy rebirth, It had me scrambling to see who did the FX. Loved it, and if this title comes up in conversation, that scene will be the first thing I think of. I thought the Lycan design was unique, especially the appearance and shape of the head and face.

I'd say overall, it was a fun morning watch! I can understand any uber-wolfie fan having a soft spot for this film. Thanks for the rec, Roi.

Re: Michael T. Weiss - you notice he hasn't done any acting for a very long time? He may be easy on the eyes, but he's a terrible actor!

Yeah, Hammer, he's dreadful. He was so bad it started to be fun to watch him.

Martha, I asked hammer to delete your post in the draft thread. You PMed me and asked when you could make up this round and I said after round 10 and you even said ok. This game is really not hard to follow.

[Morningriser]

ok hammer you're up to the plate.

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

Thanks morningriser for waiting patiently for me. My turn always comes up when I am at work.
