[edit] Plot summary
Marie Adams, a successful author, visits the scenic woodland town of Drago with her husband Richard to find respite from constant nightmare visions involving werewolves and a mysterious nun. Marie's stay in the village does nothing to dispel the visions, which increase in frequency and seem to suggest strange portents of evil events to come...and a warning to get out of town before the next full moon.
[edit] Additional information
- This film's story bears a close resemblance to the plot of the first film, and in fact it is a much more faithful adaptation of Gary Brandner's original Howling novel.
- Co-writer Clive Turner also stars in the film as a tow truck driver.
- The film's theme song "Something Evil, Something Dangerous" was performed by Justin Hayward.
