![]() This is a high school flick about teens getting involved with mystical things-which was quite popular in the early 2010s thanks to films like Twilight (2008). The Howling (1981) was a satirical horror comedy about a news anchor that ended up in a community of werewolves. Insidious (2010) might have some elements in common with Poltergeist (1982) but nobody would think of it as a reboot of Poltergeist. You can’t just make a random film and claim it’s a reboot. ![]() Some sites claim this is, or was meant to be, a reboot of the franchise, but I don’t agree with that. It has been 16 years since the last one and it’s not like the normal movie watcher was hankering for a new entry in a series that was known to be beyond lackluster. ![]() I am not even sure why it was decided that this should be marketed as the eight Howling film. The Howling: Reborn states it’s based on his novel The Howling II, but a skim over its plots synopsis on Wikipedia shows that is a lie. My guess is that author Gary Brandner has the record for movies that are based on his books in name only. ![]()
