Howling: New Moon Rising - Reception

Reception

Response to this film was highly negative, with the biggest criticisms being its shortage of werewolves and the fact that, when one is seen, it is clearly an actor in a Halloween mask and furry arms. Another criticism was that scenes were taken straight from Howling IV: The Original Nightmare, Howling V: The Rebirth and Howling VI: The Freaks, drawing comparisons to a clip show. The "actors" were locals living in the small desert town where the film was shot, basically playing themselves sitting around telling jokes and drinking beer.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:

    Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!
    Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
