Howling III: The Marsupials (1987)

Simply A Masterpiece

Fresh and Exciting

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The take of this film on the werewolf myth, interpreting it as a separate biological race, is refreshing and intriguing. The casting is good, and especially the female werewolf protagonist suits her role well. It contains many bizarre, and at the same time visually beautiful and imaginative scenes, and lots of stunningly beautiful aerial views of Sidney, which in themselves makes the film worth a watch. The only downside is that the progression halters somewhat at the end, and the film seems unsure of how to actually end. I would still say this is one of the best films in the "howling" installment.

This one does not really follow in suit with The Howling 1 & Part 2 - even they were very different from one another. Howling 3 takes us on a government chase trying to find these lycanthropes. This clan can have sex with humans, they have pups that they carry in their pouches similar to a kangaroo - and why not they are an Australian clan and they have ties with a Russian clan.The film gets scattered with it's story telling, as if they just filmed some ideas then threw them together to complete the movie. But it is a rather fun movie to watch - unintentionally funny at times.If you are into werewolves it's worth a watch - but really for only those that are really into lycanthropes.5/10

From the bleak waters of Siberia to the searing heat of the Outback, the menace is spreading and breeding fast. Only maverick scientist Professor Beckmyer can understand the torment of a freak species when he experiments on a captured werewolf in his lab. But to the government and the military, it's an experiment way out of control. For them, an agent of Satan is at large - a dreadful threat to mankind. It must be hunted down and eliminated.This film starred: Barry Otto, Imogen Annesley & Max Fairchild.Howling 3 is not is good as the first but better than the second, however when I say that they are all bad films. Not recommended like it's two predecessors. */***** Very poor.

While some people say this is the worst entry in the Howling series, I actually think it is one of the best of the sequels following the Joe Dante classic. Let's get one thing straight, this is an intentional camp film and takes great glee in being as cheesy as humanly possible. Here we are introduced to a new breed of lycanthrope from the Land Down- Under, a were-creature based on the long extinct thylacine. I don't want to give anything in the plot away but I would of really preferred if the movie focused more on giving us lots of werewolf action instead of focusing almost entirely on a certain romance-subplot. So in closing, I feel you should sit down with your friends and have have a laugh while watching this campy film.....
