The Howling is a 1981 horror film about a traumatized reporter who goes to a therapeutic retreat colony only to find it populated with dangerous werewolves. Although the film was criticized in other aspects, it was lauded for its ambitious, influential special effects, which go down even today as some of the best, most influential werewolf effects alongside An American Werewolf in London.
