Howling III (1987)
5/10
Yes, it is bad but also has some positives
1 February 2018
Comical Australian entry in the Howling series which has nothing to do with the first two films. In fact this is not your usual werewolf movie. These can change at any time, not just the Full Moon, and is based on a unique Australian variant of this creature. The good points: plenty of quirky Aussie humour, Imogen Annesley looks great as the main werewolf character, nice use of Sydney Harbour & outback locations, decent effects for the baby marsupial & no shortage of werewolf action. And of course an hilarious cameo by Dame Edna! The bad: much bad acting (Australians seem to really struggle doing American accents), silly script, some of the worst looking werewolves to appear on screen & an annoyingly, poor 80's soundtrack that really dates it. I can understand why this movie gets a lot of hate, it certainly is not for everybody. But, if like me, you can laugh at a bad movie then it's not all bad. Rated 18 here in the UK, seems pretty harsh as in terms of sex, language or violence it's pretty tame.
