THE HOWLER

About This Movie

So, 'The Howler' presents this gritty take on a retired superhero who’s thrust back into the chaos of Havenbrook. The atmosphere is pretty dark, but there’s this underlying nostalgia for the earlier superhero days. The pacing shifts well, bouncing between action sequences and quieter, more introspective moments that explore the toll of being a hero. The Marionette, the new villain, is a psychological threat, which adds depth to the conflict. Practical effects in the fight scenes stand out, giving a raw feel that's often lost in CGI-heavy flicks. The performances have a certain weight to them, making it feel personal rather than just another action flick. It’s distinct in how it blends crime and drama without losing that superhero edge.
