You know people piss on Halloween 3 for not having Michael Myers, or Friday the 13th part 5 for having Roy the paramedic masquerading as Jason, but do they ever mention the Howling part 3?
Its the 3rd film in a werewolf franchise and it doesn't really have any werewolves in the actual movie. Despite what the poster might imply what you get in this fucking waste of time is were-marsupials. Yes that's right, Marsupials.
Some movies are so bad they are good, and some movies rape your face with were-tasmanian wolves? . Fuck this movie

μέτριο προς κακό, ΑΛΛΆ, σώζεται από δύο σκηνές:
1. bellyburster scene "γέννησης" λυκανθρώπου, αναφορά στην chestburster scene του Alien. όλο αυτό σε dream sequence.
2. γέννηση λυκανθρώπου. για να πετύχουνε την αληθοφάνεια στο εφέ ντύσανε ένα ποντίκι με μικροσκοπικό, and I quote, "werewolf fetus suit", αφού πρώτα το ναρκώσανε.(καμία σχέση με το Howling του Joe Dante, *προφανώς*.)

Jerboa, a beautiful young werewolf woman (beautiful in her human form, that is), runs away from her rural tribe to Sydney, where she's instantly cast in a film directed by the bastard lovechild of Michael Winner and Christopher Biggins, and gets knocked up by her new movie industry boyfriend. Oh, and she has a pouch because, being an Aussie werewolf, she's descended from the extinct, marsupial Tasmanian wolf. It's a fast-paced, schlocky riot, with decent rubbery lycanthrope FX (though disappointingly light on gore), a throng of interesting supporting characters, and an agreeably cheesy 80s funky pop soundtrack. And then the final half-hour comes, and it suddenly starts taking itself too seriously. No more goofing around, no more transformation set-pieces, and…

Werewolves in Russia and weremarsupials in Australia, that is what we are treated to in this mess of a film. A professor wants to study them, but the military wants to exterminate them. This is really not a good movie but still a little entertaining. In one scene, some folks are at the cinema and watching a werewolf movie and the transformation uses "bladder" effects in such a way that makes me think of The Beast Within which also used this effect in an exaggerated manner. Later we see a poster from that film hanging on the wall in someone's bedroom and then it dawned on me that it's the same director, Philippe Mora, for both films. Luckily, the real…

Unique. This is a good thing...

Starts off looking like it's going to be every bit as much fun as its predecessor with some interesting meta moments and experimental choices... unfortunately it gets lost in the third act and can't seem to find an ending.
