The Howling at AFI Silver Theatre And Cultural Center
Joe Dante, a proud graduate of the Roger Corman school of low-budget filmmaking, has proven himself to be one of the most subversive genre directors. The Howling—like its predecessor Piranha, also written by John Sayles—is one of his best works, and one of the smartest dissections of horror clichés ever made. The 1981 film is packed with hilarious references to other werewolf movies, and the groundbreaking special effects have yet to be eclipsed. Importantly, The Howling is as frightening as it is funny, and as a satire of new-age retreats and pop psychology, it’s relentlessly acute.
