Howler

About This Movie

Howler (2017) is an interesting blend of animation and horror-comedy that spills over the edges with a unique style. Set in the gloomy town of Hemlock Springs, the film captures a quirky atmosphere with its vivid colors contrasting the dark themes at play. The pacing is a bit uneven but intentionally so, mirroring the chaotic nature of the characters’ unraveling lives. Caroline, voiced by director Alvin Soprano, offers a sharp, sarcastic perspective that adds depth to the typical high school drama. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, serve a purpose, enhancing the B-movie spirit that the protagonist loves. It’s this mix of humor and horror, along with the supernatural elements, that sets it apart from conventional animated features.
