Werewolf films are a tricky thing to get right.  You can count on one hand the number of memorable, worthwhile werewolf flicks.  Those films, like The Howling or An American Werewolf in London have one important thing in common: killer special effects. Lucky for us, this “werewolves on a train” creature feature is directed by Paul Hyett, known for his special effects work on The Descent, Attack the Block, and Gallowwalkers to name a few.  So we can rest easy knowing that Hyett is going to bring the carnage.

Howl has already been released in the UK, but Alchemy will be bringing it stateside as a DVD release on January 12, 2016.

Plot Synopsis
Joe, a young ticket-collector, is riding the last train out of London on a dark and stormy night along with a meager bunch of passengers. When the train brakes violently and comes to a sudden halt deep in the middle of a forest, it seems they have hit something on the line. But when the driver ventures out to investigate he never returns, leaving the passengers in a state of panic – particularly when Joe sees the driver’s mutilated body outside the carriage. Realizing there’s something dangerous lurking in the forest, Joe tells the passengers to make barricades to secure themselves in the carriage but soon the deadly creature is stalking the besieged train and smashing through their defenses, picking them off one-by-one. Joe rallies his ‘pack’ of passengers to fight back. During a vicious battle they manage to kill the creature, revealing it to be a hideous mutated fusion of human and wild animal – a werewolf. However, celebrations are cut short when they hear more howls coming from the forest…
