The Howl

A former Nazi scientist, now living under an assumed identity, is discovered to be experimenting with dangerous genetic manipulation. His work involves creating a monstrous wolf-like creature that he unleashes upon unsuspecting victims. As the body count rises, a determined detective and the scientist's former lover race against time to uncover the truth and stop the creature before it's too late.

The Howl, also known as "It!

• Despite a promising premise, the film often suffers from a slow pace and underdeveloped characters.

• The creature effects, while attempting to be gruesome, are considered dated and unconvincing by modern standards.

• While Ray Milland delivers a solid performance, it's not enough to elevate the film beyond its B-movie limitations.

Google audience: Audience reception for 'The Howl' is largely indifferent, with many viewers finding it a forgettable horror film from the era. While some appreciate the classic horror elements and Ray Milland's presence, the majority point to its sluggish pacing and dated special effects as significant drawbacks.

The film was released in some international markets under the title "It!", which can be confusing as the 1990 miniseries based on Stephen King's novel also shares this title.
