Howling: New Moon Rising is a 1995 direct-to-video horror sequel to The Howling and the seventh film in Howling film series, directly succeeding Howling VI: The Freaks.[1] The film was written, produced and directed by Clive Turner. Turner also starred in the film as Ted Smith, a man that has arrived in a small western town with his own personal agenda. New Moon Rising utilizes footage from the previous three sequels in the Howling series, Howling IV: The Original Nightmare, Howling V: The Rebirth, and Howling VI: The Freaks, and features characters from each film.

Synopsis

An Australian man named Ted, intricately connected to the previous three Howling films, arrives in a small western town where he begins to mingle with the local townsfolk, secretly recording his own enigmatic agendas into a tape recorder in his hotel room. At the same time a number of mysterious slayings appearing to be the work of a large animal begin to occur in the area. A detective investigates the case, helped by a priest who is certain the killings are the work of a werewolf, leading the two of them to uncover several clues that connect events from the majority of the latter part of the series.

Reception

TV Guide remarked that the film was "a new low for the franchise."[2][3] Dread Central panned the film.[4] Bloody Disgusting also gave a negative review, stating that the film "ranks right up there with Troll 2 as the most hilarious bad movie ever made" and that they believed that the film kept the names of the actors and the town to "cut down on the people forgetting each others names because they had a hard enough time remembering their lines".[5]
