Howl

About This Movie

Howl sets an intense atmosphere right from the start, encapsulating that claustrophobic feeling of being trapped on a train. The combination of practical effects and creature design offers a rawness that you don’t often see in modern horror. The pacing is well-done; it builds tension effectively while also giving glimpses into the characters' backstories, which adds depth. You feel the weight of their fear and desperation as they band together against an unseen terror. The performances are solid, grounding the horror in something relatable. It’s not just about the creature; it’s about survival and what people are willing to do when pushed to their limits. Definitely an interesting take on the monster movie genre.

Creature design is impressive. · Good character development. · Tense atmosphere throughout.
