Customer Reviews of The Howling VI: The Freaks
Wow, what a waste of a great idea! Trying to capitalize on the HOWLING franchise, the filmmakers had a clever idea in trying to capitalize on the brilliantly executed exploitation Tod Browning film FREAKS. They failed. This is a grotesque horror film and should be avoided!
Surprisingly likable
Ok, the make-up is really awful. The werewolf isn't fierce, or scary looking (I suppose because in this sequel he's actually the good guy) and the vampire make up is just terrible! But...
the acting is carried off surprisingly well. The plot is cohesive enough to keep you interested. And the lead actor - Brendon Hughes - is a cutie.
All in all, it's not a bad sequel. The idea of having a vampire and werewolf pitted against one another is interesting. It's got a little romance, and a little comedy thrown in too.
For a B movie, not bad. I would rent it first - then if you really like it, buy.
One of the best Howling sequels. But bad special effects.
In this sequel, a man, Ian, arrives in a small town and helps the townspeople with the renovation of a church. He becomes friends with them and falls in love with a girl. But it's soon full moon and Ian turns out to be a werewolf. There's another stranger in town as well, freak show owner Harker, who captures Ian to use him in his show.
The quality of the Howling sequels is varying. All have that b-movie feeling. Some are good and some are less good. Howling VI has a quite good story and some acting that is above b-movie level. Bruce Payne makes a funny performance as Harker. The plot, however doesn't quite last throughout the entire movie. The worst thing about the movie thoug, is probably the special effects in the transformation scenes. These ridiculous special effects make the general impression not as good as it could, or should, be.
However, it is a decent werewolf movie, actually a bit better than I had expected. It's better than Howling III and V, but not as funny as Howling II. It's about as good as the underrated Howling IV. I can recommend it to werewolf movie lovers and those who liked any of the other Howling-sequels.
