The Howl

About This Movie

The Howl, directed by Tinto Brass, is an unexpected blend of adventure, comedy, and fantasy that drips with a unique atmosphere. The film's pacing is curious—sometimes meandering, yet it offers these vibrant moments that just pop. The young bride’s flight from her wedding leads to increasingly surreal encounters. Talking animals, a rock spouting philosophy, and a psychedelic hotel create a distinct visual treat. Brass's use of practical effects gives an almost tangible quality to the bizarre worlds. Performances vary in style, lending a playful yet chaotic vibe to the narrative. There’s a certain charm in its unapologetic strangeness. It’s definitely one for those who appreciate films that defy conventional storytelling.
