Is a British Hungarian direct-to-video supernatural horror movie directed by Neal Sundstrom and is the fifth installment of the franchise.
Plot:
A group of strangers visit an ancient Hungarian castle and bring along a werewolf.
It's better than the previous movies, but it's still not a good movie. I do like how the movie is set at a castle and how it connects with the werewolf themes. It does have a nice atmosphere with it being a dark location to each of the rooms that you see. Unfortunately, the story is your whodunit type of movie with you guessing who the werewolf is. Actually, the werewolf barely appears in the movie at all and spends a lot of time with characters wandering around or giving exposition dialogue. It makes the movie less enjoyable on how little happened in it, and there's barely any suspense to be found in it. They do give some history about the castle and the people who live in it, which is something different. But the movie doesn't have a climax at all, and the reveal is anticlimactic.
I got nothing to say about the characters because all of them are boring and only have one role in the movie. And the acting itself is poorly done.
Despite the poster showing the werewolf face, you don't get to see it in the actual movie. You only see glance of it, and it shot in the dark, which makes it hard to see. I don't know why the movie doesn't show the werewolf since they already show it on the poster. Also, most of the deaths happened off-screen, and two of the deaths were done by someone else.
Howling 5: The rebirth is slightly better than the previous two, but it is still a poorly done movie that doesn't even show the werewolf.
Rating: 4/10
