The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Howling (2012)

AKA: The Killer Wolf

Starring: Kang Ho-song
Director: Ha Yoo

Premise:
Detectives try to solve a series of murders with a similar animal bite as the cause of death.

My Take:
While the movie is far a police procedural than a straight out horror; it doesn't dampen the enjoyment. The attacks are gruesome. And it is fascinating to watch as the detectives, especially since one of them is a woman which seems to be an slightly unusal situation in South Korea, search to why this hybrid wolf-dog is killing people with a common link.

Rating: In the middle
