Howling III: The Marsupials

About This Movie

Howling III: The Marsupials is quite the curious entry in the Howling franchise. Philippe Mora brings a unique blend of horror and dark humor to this one, diving into Australian folklore with a twist. The atmosphere feels distinctly different, with a kind of surreal charm, and the pacing meanders in a way that might catch you off guard. The practical effects are a mixed bag – some are impressively bizarre, capturing the unsettling nature of these marsupial beings. The performances tread the line between earnest and campy, elevating the film’s oddball quality. The themes of identity and the clash between nature and society add depth to what could easily be dismissed as just another creature feature. It’s definitely distinctive, in a way that you won't find in typical horror fare.
