Howling IV: The Original Nightmare
This series keeps getting worse and worse, and I'm only half way through it! I though the third one where they were werewolf kangaroos was bad! This movie drug out for 2 hours, and it could have been done in 30 minuets. The story was a writer has some weird visions, and gets stressed out, so she and her husband take a vacation in a cottage in the woods. Her pointless visions continue and she gets caught up in some kind of nun murder mystery. They were desperate for a higher body count and a more complex story to drag the movie out, so they threw in some random hitchikers to try to lengthen it. We only get to see actual werewolves for about one minuet of the movie. The rest of it is about the scuzz-ball husband and asshole townspeople. The only cool part to this movie was the scene where the husband melts. It was some really good special effects. 1 out of 5.
