Howling V: The Rebirth Turns Werewolves Into a Whodunit

Take several strangers.

Trap them inside an isolated castle.

Then reveal that one of them might be a werewolf.

Now we're talking.

Howling V: The Rebirth (1989) turns the franchise into something resembling a supernatural whodunit.

People disappear.

Suspicion spreads.

And the movie asks us to figure out who—or what—is responsible.

It's a surprisingly fun direction for a franchise that had already tried just about everything else.

And if you've listened to Johnny Spoiler talk werewolf movies before, you may already know this isn't our first trip into Howling V territory.
