Howling V: The Rebirth is a 1989 direct-to-video horror sequel to The Howling. It was directed by Neal Sundstrom from the screenplay by Freddie Rowe and Clive Turner, and filmed in Budapest, Hungary.
Like most of the other The Howling films, it is only loosely based on "The Howling" series of novels by Gary Brandner. While the plot of this film seems largely derivative of The Beast Must Die, the setting of a large castle (rather than that film's mansion) and the castle's backstory are taken from the narrative of the original The Howling novel, where it served as the backstory of a town named Dradja.
It stars Phil Davis, Victoria Catlin, Elizabeth She, Ben Cole, and William Shockley. 96 minutes, rated R. The movie was released on 2 DVD copies as a double feature with Howling VI: The Freaks in 2003 by Artisan Home Entertainment and in 2007 by Timeless Media Group.
Famous quotes containing the word rebirth:
“We are constantly thinking of the great war ... which saved the Union ... but it was a war that did a great deal more than that. It created in this country what had never existed before—a national consciousness. It was not the salvation of the Union, it was the rebirth of the Union.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
