Howling

About This Movie

So, 'Howling' from 2014 is this oddball mix of comedy and sci-fi that sort of plays with the concept of time. The premise is really intriguing – a guy in his room hears himself from the future calling out to him through a TV. The delivery is where it gets interesting, because instead of going for big sci-fi moments, it leans into a more absurdist tone. The pacing feels a bit loose, which works well for the atmosphere they're trying to create. As for performances, the lead does a decent job of balancing the confusion and humor. It's not your typical flick, and the practical effects, though minimal, add to the strange charm of the whole experience.
