howling iii the marsupials
Year: 1987
Classification: Horror

Directed:

- Philippe Mora




Silly, but not as funny as it should be...

A scientist, Professor Beckmeyer, wants to find proof that werewolves exist in Australia. Meanwhile, the mysterious Jerboa goes to Sydney and stars in a horror movie. Suitably enough, she is a real life werewolf. Beckmeyer wants to study her, but the government wants to kill off the werewolf tribe.
The first Howling movie was a good horror movie. Its first sequel, Howling II was a silly but fun movie. I had no idea what to expect from Howling III. In the first part of the movie, it seems like a funny horror-comedy, even a spoof of other werewolf movies. But after a while, when we get to know the werewolves, the movie seems to try to be serious, but it's all very silly. The silliness reaches its peak when jerboa gives birth to some kangaroo-like werewolf baby. It's quite funny, but at the same time it seems so serious'
The first half of the movie made me laugh a couple of times, but the second half is strange, with long scenes where almost nothing happens and you don't know in what direction the plot is moving. At times, it seems almost endless and I couldn't keep from hoping it would be over soon. Some of the transforming scenes are funny, the entire movie is very silly, but not silly in that way that made Howling II so fun.
I'm afraid I can't recommend this movie to anybody but die-hard werewolf lovers'


Howling III: The Marsupials

The Howling III is so bad it's good; not extremely good though.The dialogue is terrible, but what do you expect from a horror movie.The characters however are funny and memorable.The plot is really ridiculous but it ends up telling a fairly good story.The werewolfs look so fake and stupid it's funny.I only liked the story and characters basically.(SPOILERS)The scene where the woman werewolf gives birth to the baby wolf was so sick; it crawled up her body in a little pouch.I do enjoy the ending to these Howling movies though;this one was really good.The race is on as a colony of marsupial werewolfs attempts to outwit and outlast their human counterparts in the offbeat horror film "Holling III : The Marsupials."Long ago, the now-extinct marsupial wolf (a.k.a. Tasmanian Tiger) roamed the Australian Outback. Today, a werewolf colony that has descended from these marsupials has taken over the land.This race for survival is on as the humans struggle to contain these out of control creatures.(5/10)
"a silly, semi-spoof of werewolf movies"BR>-- James Kendrick, Q NETWORK FILM DESK


The Howling 3 gets a generous 3 stars................

In a moment of Christmas spirit overload I pick up two copies of this movie. One for the office party and one for myself.
BR>I get home and see it's PG-13 and figure I'll watch it with my daughter after the spousal unit falls asleep. What momma doesn't know can't hurt her.BR>The Howling III starts off pretty good. Cheesey special effects (none of that CG crud) , quirky characters, and good looking women. Typical 80's horror with the exception of it being filmed in Australia.BR>Basically a band of marsupial werewolves live in the outback to avoid man's encroachment and scientists that may want to do experiments on them. After all, they are werewolves with pouches, that's fairly rare these days.BR>The first half of the movie had plenty of good old fashioned special effects and entertaining sequences that kept both my daughter and I interested. Of course it was a bit uncomfortable when the lead female (Kanga-lycanthrope) gives birth to a little marsupial werewolf baby. Ugly little bugger at that!BR>The second half of the flick just doesn't have enough special effect type sequences to keep it interesting.BR>You may think the storyline has enough clout to stand on it's own but it doesn't. BR>Still I'm happy to add it to my collection of 80's horror films.BR>The DVD is of good quality.(widescreen) and it does contain several extras which is rare for a film of this type and price. BR>Good day mate!!
