Howl is a 2015 British horror film directed by Paul Hyett and starring Ed Speleers, Sean Pertwee, Holly Weston, Shauna Macdonald, Elliot Cowan, Rosie Day, Calvin Dean, Duncan Preston and Ross Mullan.
Unaware of the dangers outside, the remaining passengers, Kate, Adrian, Matthew, Billy, Nina, Paul, and Ged and his wife Jenny, are frustrated to learn that an emergency team will not be able to reach the train due to downed trees all along the line.
The remaining passengers barricade themselves in another car, using the train's power tools to reinforce the windows and doors with metal grates.
Unaware that the werewolf's death cries have alerted the rest of its pack, Billy and Joe attempt to repair the train.
Billy tries to beat off the werewolves with torches but is killed, while Joe and Ellen flee into the forest, pursued by the pack.
Howl was directed by Paul Hyett, previously known for his effects collaborations with fellow British horror film director Neil Marshall.
[4] Kate Muir of The Times negatively likened the film to Snakes on a Plane, giving it two out of five stars and calling the werewolves unconvincing.
[8] Mark Kermode of The Observer wrote, "Engagingly sympathetic portrayals of stoical working women and harassed railway guards keep us on side as the action rattles through familiar generic junctions.
"[9] Hannah McGill of The List wrote, "The black humour hits home without breaking the tension, while the gore – as one might expect given Hyett's background in makeup effects – is grimly convincing.
"[10] Garry McConnachie of The Daily Record criticized what he felt were annoying characters and a failed opportunity to make use of a confined setting.
