The tyranist's thoughts
I like the werewolf movies, but even I am not so enamoured of them to think that the Howling series lacks serious problems. Along comes a copy of number 3, subtitled 'The Marsupials.' I hate it already.
So there's a tribe of werefolk living in the outback of Australia where they've apparently been hiding and breeding for over 50 years. One of them escapes to the big city where she gets involved with some people, including one chap who is really keen to prove that werewolves exist.
The movie started out reasonably, although the low production values are immediately apparent and the plot is really pointless from the start. Still, I didn't find anything to loathe right up front. The female protagonist is not hard to look at and Australia's a pretty country. It goes downhill awfully fast after that.
It seemed that the filmmakers wanted to have some sort of Anne Rice effect on werewolves. My personal opinion is that they failed miserably, partly because the story is just ridiculous and wholly unbelievable and partly because the cast and script just didn't blend well. I suppose if you are a werewolf fan, there are bits here to please, but really, this is the second worse Australian horror flick I've ever seen.
