Strong and Moving!

One of my all time favorites.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Our film starts out after countless centuries of watching, waiting and stalking, the unholy creatures known as werewolves are poised to inherit the earth. After newscaster Karen White's (Hana Ludvikova, who is clearly not Dee Wallace, I mean she doesn't even have the same hair color!) shocking on-screen transformation and violent death, her brother Ben (Reb Brown) is approached by Stefan Crosscoe (Christopher Lee), a mysterious man who claims that Karen has, in fact, become a werewolf. But this is the least of their worries... To save mankind, Stefan and Ben must travel to Transylvania to battle and destroy Stirba, the immortal queen of all werewolves, before she is restored to her full powers!...The Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf is definitely a big WTF! when one views it for the first time and after Joe Dante's classic original, this has it all, odd characters witch serve no purpose, strange dwarfs running around, and countless odd werewolf orgy scenes, yes, i did say that. What is weird is that this is a European film as most of all of it was made in the Czech Republic, this results in almost all the cast being unheard of Europeans, the IMDb says that some of the film was filmed in Los Angeles maybe the over head shots were and the wear house scene, but, ill be damned if i see anything resembling L.A. here, in one version of the film the end credits plays the weirdest polka music ever heard, I'm not joking. There is also reports that Christopher Lee regrets being in the film only agreeing to do so, because he was never in a werewolf film, and it shows here, Lee hopelessly drags throw ever scene, not even looking like he's even trying. As for other acting its pretty bad Brown is awfully wooden when he isn't constantly screaming as he does in all his movies all the time. McEnroe is also amateurish and her character is pretty worthless. Danning is pretty much just here for one thing and you know what that is look hot, in scatty clothing. It was also reported that Lee would read his script alone, because co-stars Reb Brown and Annie McEnroe were so bad at there lines. He later reported that he apologized to Joe Dante for appearing in the film on the set of Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990).The special effects here are pretty bad and that's saying something from me because i can usually make the worst effect fun, but, here the werewolf costumes are ape looking and the film realize on prosthetic werewolf heads in several scenes, also director Phillipe Mora, moves and cuts the camera shots so fast you'll be drunk by the time the film ends, i mean the editing is really wild. As for violence and nudity, its wilder then the first film, a midgets eyes pop out, and a bat creature comes out of a mans mouth, some people and werewolves are also shot, stabbed, and clawed, as for nudity Sybil Danning shows off her breasts, which is repeated about a thousand times during the end credits, as do Marsha Hunt (you may know her as Mick Jagger's love interest and father of his child), as do several other werewolf women.All in all Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf is just plain crazy!!! and it fails extremely as a sequel to Joe Dante's classic original, its bad, but, I must say I enjoyed it for its wacked out campiness which is what its remembered for, I just shut my brain off and enjoy and Howling fans along with horror fans should also do the same. I have read the "The Howling" novel and its sequel "Howling II" the second book does not have any connection to this movie whatsoever. Also Scream Factory released the film on Blu-Ray with a list of several nice special features in 2015.

Incredibly idiotic, senseless, and utterly sleazy sequel to the popular 1981 werewolf film "The Howling" stars Sir Christopher Lee as Stefan Crosscoe, an occult expert determined to wipe out lycanthropes, in particular those who associate with the fiendish queen werewolf bitch Stirba (Sybil Danning). He makes a point of telling Ben White (Reb Brown), the brother of the Dee Wallace character from the first film, the specifics of her "death". When Ben is unable to deny the evidence, he heads off, with reporter Jenny Templeton (Annie McEnroe) in tow, for Transylania, to help Stefan in his werewolf killing mission.The story is absurd, the dialogue hilariously awful; poor Sir Christopher and Sybil have to utter some pretty dumb lines. The makeup effects are crude to the nth degree, but are delicious in their egregious lack of quality. The scene with the eyeballs exploding is pretty cool. In some ways, "Stirba - Werewolf Bitch" goes back to Gothic basics in a way by exploiting flavourful European Old World atmosphere. But it adds a lot of spice to the deal by being so damn trashy. The sexy ladies present dress quite provocatively, and Sybil is willing to disrobe and show off her ample assets. The New Wave pop soundtrack is a total hoot; we're made to listen to that priceless title theme song a number of times. Original "Howling" author Gary Brandner co-scripted, from his novel "Howling II: The Return", and maintains a very tongue in cheek approach. With the level of both cheese and trash on display, it's clear that this was never meant to be taken seriously.Sir Christopher looks pretty serious here, though; the movie does benefit from his professionalism. Sybil is a mildly amusing antagonist. Brown and McEnroe are just sort of there as hero and heroine. Marsha A. Hunt, Judd Omen, Ferdy Mayne (who has the same character name as John Carradine in "Howling" No. 1), Patrick Field, Jimmy Nail, and Jiri Krytinar co-star.Directed by Philippe Mora, who has the distinction of being director on two "Howling" sequels, the other being "The Marsupials: The Howling III".The end credits are actually a highlight.Seven out of 10.

A young man (Reb Brown) whose sister was murdered by werewolves helps an investigator (Christopher Lee) track down a gang of the monsters through the United States and Europe.Although the original "Howling" is considered a classic, its run of sequels are less distinguished. They made several, but none ever came close to the critical reception of the original. Part three, with were-marsupials, is obviously clever, but few would go so far as to call it a "good film".For part two, director Philippe Mora was told to go over the top by producer John Daly (who gets no credit), with everything short of singing werewolves. Daly provided "Planet of the Apes" suits rather than wolf costumes, and this brought about the birth of the "monkey phase". Incidentally, Mora never saw "The Howling" (at least at the time of filming), so any ideas here (beyond the script) were pure invention."Howling II" is today a cult film, no doubt due to the actors involved -- Lee puts on a dynamite performance, as always. And Sybil Danning exposes some things in this film that may be unintentionally humorous. And not just that strange black and gold ensemble. To say it is a "good" film would be a lie, but it does stagger back and forth between "so bad it's good" and "just bad", which may make it the perfect party movie if you have 90 minutes and plenty of beer to kill.Interestingly, this was one of the first Hollywood films made behind the Iron Curtain, with the KGB watching the set (particularly during the concert scene) and Prague "stunt men" who did not know how to light people on fire or shoot blanks without serious injury. The crew was encouraged by the priest to "desecrate" the church containing King Wenceslaus. Even more interestingly, perhaps, is the "bone room" -- while it looks like a set, Mora insists this is an actual ossuary in the basement of the church.Lee is the strong point of the film, with Reb Brown showing some of the worst acting (doing nothing to improve the cheesy dialogue and script). The film very heavily leans on a single New Wave song from little-known band Babel. The song is actually rather decent and appropriate for the movie, but tends to be overused for the soundtrack. We certainly do not need to hear the same song five times (or more) in one movie.The old saying is that less is more. In this film, that could be a reference to the werewolves. Who can argue against an army of werewolves? That could be a lot of fun, and the effects shots for how they are exterminated are pretty good. But the costumes themselves are pretty silly, and after a dozen or so silly wolves, it is hard to take the movie seriously. (Of course, if you take any of this clunker seriously, you are in for a disappointment.)Scream Factory -- possibly the greatest distributor of modern classics -- has given us everything for their release of this film, including the kitchen sink. Two commentaries full of tidbits (including the movie's connection to "The Terminator"). Several interviews. And quite possibly the best the film will ever look. A world apart from the old, dark prints that that hit home video years ago. If there was ever a must-own for fans of cheesy horror, this could be it.

The brother of Karen White who died in the first film is told the truth about his sister's death and helps an investigator track down the werewolves that made her what she is through Europe.This film starred: Christopher Lee, Annie McEnroe & Reb Brown.Howling 2 is worse than the first film and I didn't like the first film. If I thought The Howling was bad I couldn't imagine the troubles I faced trying to watch this film. Many questions may be asked about this film but the only question i want answered is what class-A drug was Christopher Lee on to star on this film, I f I was him after this film I would have strapped my agent to a chair and made him/her watch this film over and over again until his eyes started to bleed through how bad it is.*/***** Awful.
