i have see many sequel of the original howling ( can not keep track how many actually ) but this have my mouth drop wide open right after the first few minute of it . the concept be almost exactly the same a in the first installment but this one stick quite firmly to the original book . but it pretty much like watch the first movie remade by bunch of talentless amateur ( probably even retarded one ) . the acting be bad than i have ever see before . and to stay awake through the whole movie you should not have see the first because it kinda give everything away . bad camera work and bad screenplay with cheesy line with every possible clichés in it . and on top of all this represent extra low budget . low budget doesn not mean the movie automatically suck . it not worth make a movie with very little money unless youre clever and creative . these guy be not . usually this kind of super suck low budget b movie make you laugh and deserve some credit a hilarious and good bad b movie . but no and this one doesn not and i can not recommend it to anyone and not even the howling fan . one star for cool latex gore effect in the end .
