Critique: The howling three,like 2 and those that follow, is not a sequel but an unrelated story on a similar theme: the day to day struggle of werewolves to escape genocide. It is also different from the Howling II in that it doesn't stink. On the contrary, part III can be very engaging and great fun at times. The low on gore and high on characterization approach works for this decidedly pro werewolf portrayal of things as we actually fear for the werewolves and their boosters and cheer when their detractors get it. The story tends to meander at times, but this is all part of following the modern werewolf experience. Watch for the cameo at the end by Australian icon/export Dame Edna (Barry Humphriesv). As always, the werewolves could use a little work but the ones function well for their given dramatic situations. They're funny when they should be and can be taken seriously otherwise.
