"Ridiculous -- yes. Comical at times -- yes."

Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"Dante’s sly and smart breakout... a fun ride that (has) space for satire."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"The Howling is ridiculous but it's not stupid."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Though it works well enough as a werewolf thriller (not, admittedly, a genre packed with masterpieces), Dante's film... succeeds best as a witty, knowing commentary on the genre itself."
—
Time Out
Time Out"Dante scores by playing it straight: gritty, bleak and haunting right up to a climax that delivers in provocative and quite spectacular fashion."
—
Empire Magazine
Empire Magazine"A perfect blend of modern horror and practical effects."
—
Little White Lies
Little White Lies"Dante... foregrounds his werewolves’ cartoon carnality by any means necessary, often finding endearingly clumsy parallels between mastication and copulation."
—
Slant Magazine
Slant Magazine"A must-see for horror fans, with more than one viewing recommended."
—
TV Guide
TV Guide"The Howling is one of the best werewolf films of all time and one of the finest examples of the horror genre in the 80s."
