While much of the franchise is bad or at least meh, there are only two real contenders for the absolute worst entry. The Howling: New Moon Rising once had a lock on this spot, before the 2011 release of The Howling Reborn. This direct-to-video movie is terrible in about every possible way, and one of the main reasons is that the story is nearly non...
The Howling Reborn is the most recent entry, although it's entirely unconnected to the prior films and might as well be its own thing. This one is squarely aimed at the teen demographic, with its central character struggling with both puberty and his turn into a werewolf, as well as a need to protect his beloved from other lycanthropes. The many se...
The franchise is a very loose-knit group, and as another example, here's Howling 4: The Original Nightmare. Instead of having any connection to the films, Howling 4 instead serves as a more faithful adaptation of the Gary Brandner novel that inspired the original movie. That said, it in no way comes close to the excellence of the 1981 Joe Dante dir...
Howling 3: The Marsupials, both filmed and set in Australia, is also very bad. What elevates it above previous entries in this ranking is that it's at least bad with a side of really weird. In this one, the werewolves are actually the good guys and are pursued by evil human authorities and scientists. They've evolved to carry their young in Kangaro...
Part 6 marks the point where the sequels stop being actively awful and just become middling with a few decent moments. Howling 6 sports a decent premise, with a depressed and misunderstood werewolf being forced to find solace in an American Horror Story style carnival freak show. However, he must soon contend with his new boss, who turns out to be ...
Howling 5: The Rebirth is on par with Howling 6 in quality, but edges it out due to a rare instance of a werewolf being used as the killer in a murder mystery setup. A group of strangers is invited to the re-opening of a Hungarian castle, and before they can spend too much time enjoying themselves and wondering what the deal is with the place, it's...
Blessed with one of the best subtitles in horror history, Howling 2 tough to rank. Plotwise, it's probably worse than Howlings 5 or 6. Howling 2 is, bluntly, a really stupid movie. The thing is, for a certain type of horror viewer, it's the best kind of stupid. Clocking in at a lean 87 minutes, it features numerous scenes that are almost impossible...
While most franchise rankings are topped by the original, rarely is there a case like this, where the original stands not only head and shoulders above everything after, but stands atop snow-capped mountain peaks beyond them. There isn't much left to be said about The Howling, which features a great, likable lead in Dee Wallace's (Critters) Karen, ...
