What is howl the movie about

Hyett does a good job at keeping it in the shadows, of offering us glimpses or sounds. But when it does appear it is at the prefect, unexpected moment. And the look of the beast? It is genuinely a WTF? However, the end might be a little surprising.

Unfortunately, the look of the night creatures, when you can admire them in full regalia, isn't so convincing or frightening. To be honest they looked like individuals who returned from some kind of masked ball.

But believe me, the first confrontation was bloody and ruthless. Sheer aggression focused on the terrible creature that struck in a deadly and gruesome way shortly before. Not only the suspense and tension was a positive element in this film. The performances were enjoyable. A collection of colorful characters displaying that typical reserved British attitude. It surprised me they weren't having a tea break while being attacked by those animals.

First, there's Joe Ed Speleers , an undervalued train guard, whose life is an accumulation of setbacks and adversities. He is despised by colleagues and passengers see him as an incapable figure. His colleague Ellen Holly Weston ignores his romantic moves. Kate Shauna Macdonald hated Joe the first instance after she had to pay for a new ticket.

Adrian Elliot Cowan is a cocky guy who in the end just tries to save his own neck. Nina Rosie Day is a spoiled brat. And then there's this elderly couple, who won't hide their outrage about the delay, a nerd-like young boy Amit Shah , an engineer in the making Sam Gittins and an obese, lazy football player Calvin Dean. The introduction sometimes is comical and highly recognizable. Not only the werewolves provide for the eerie atmosphere. But also the location where the train gets stuck with its dark woods and the typical English fog banks, create a creepy mood.

The origin of the creatures isn't explained in detail. Only the older man is aware of other mythical stories about broken down trains and passengers disappearing or being found in a pitiful state.

But otherwise, you can only guess where these fast-paced, immensely strong and bloodthirsty creatures come from. Despite being a typical B-movie and the fact that I thought Paul Hyett's film "The seasoning house" was slightly better, this film is worthwhile to give it a try. It's not a top film with werewolves as subject, but it certainly is a movie that can compete with the better ones in this genre. Details Edit.

What feels right about "Howl" is that it is set before those days, before the beard and the mysticism and Tibet and the public persona and the levitating of the Pentagon.

The bold, outspoken man of later days is seen here as still a middle-class youth, uncertain of his gayness, filled with the heady joy of early poetic success, learning how to be himself. The film is above all about "Howl" the poem. Ginsberg, played by James Franco with restraint and care, reads it as smoke fills a coffeehouse. There is a re-creation of an early Ginsberg documentary interview.

It is during this time Ginsberg meets the man with whom he would spend the rest of his life, Peter Orlovsky. It took some courage to be Allen Ginsberg.

One of the qualities I like about this film is that the writer-directors, Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman , are aware of the time when Beat scene was new. The coffeehouse reading could be archival footage. The re-created obscenity trial preserves the prim academic standards of the day even in the s, someone like Auden was not quite acknowledged as gay.

The animation could be from an overheated student film.
