The Howling

About This Movie

The Howling (2020) is this intriguing found footage horror that plays with the idea of voyeurism and the uncanny. So, we have this 22-year-old American in Hong Kong, just living his life, and he documents everything with a camcorder—a Christmas gift from 2003, no less. The grainy footage he captures is unsettling, and the atmosphere it creates is thick with dread. You get this creeping sense of unease as the narrative unfolds, raising questions about reality and perception. The pacing can be slow, but it feels intentional, building tension in a way that sticks with you. While the practical effects are limited, they fit the raw aesthetic. Performances are surprisingly natural, adding to the film's unsettling vibe. It's one of those movies that stays with you, not because it’s flashy, but because it feels oddly real.
