Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf
Had I known this movie had that subtitle I might’ve better known what to expect. The main question this movie leaves you with is, “How did this happen??” Christopher Lee’s opening speech over the titles immediately called to my mind Bela Lugosi reading that bizarre “Pull the String!” speech in Ed Wood. Even then I was still willing to give the movie a chance. This is one of the toughest movies I’ve ever forced myself to watch – it really is horribly horribly bad. How on earth another sequel got made; and how on earth the same director got to do it; these are questions that will remain out of my mind till next Halloween.

[...] The opening credits to this movie state that it’s based on the books, “Howling I, II and III” ... go figure, this bears no resemblence to any of the preceeding movies, anyway. This is just yet another bad horror movie that winds up being more softcore porn than the gorefest it should be. It isn’t even jawdroppingly bad as Your Sister is a Werewolf or as hilariously bad as The Marcupials. It’s just excruciatingly bad bad. There is gore if you’re patient, but it’s so meaninglessly random (one guy melts, random freaks poke their heads out from behind the trees) it’s pointless. I’ve gotta say, though, I still get a guilty pleasure out of just how random this series is, and I can’t wait to watch the remaining three installments. [...]
