Howling: New Moon Rising
A number of vicious murders occur in a small California town after a motorcycle-riding stranger arrives. The gruesome slayings look disturbingly like the work of a werewolf. Meanwhile, in another nearby town, police are hot on the trail of a killer they believe is a werewolf.
Why it matters
A cult-fueled howl from the mid-’90s that blends grindhouse grit with lycanthropic chills, offering raw werewolf carnage outside the mainstream.
- Unpolished charm meets practical effects that recall the genre’s golden era of creature features.
- A patchwork narrative that’s less about coherence, more about delivering savage, bloody set pieces.
- Perfect for fans of low-budget '90s horror who relish rough edges and unfiltered gore over polish.
- Captures the indie werewolf revival spirit, bridging classic howl motifs with grunge-era outlaw vibes.
