Good werewolf films are few and far between, and we’re hoping that Paul Hyett’s Howl is one of those good ones. Today we’ve learned that Metrodome International will release the movie in UK theaters on October 16th, with a home video release following on October 26th.
Alchemy holds the U.S. rights to the film, though they haven’t announced a date. It will have its North America premiere at October’s Popcorn Frights Film Festival in Miami, Florida.

Ed Speleers, Sean Pertwee, and Shauna Macdonald star.
Synopsis:
Joe, a young ticket collector, is riding the last train out of London on a dark and stormy night along with a meager bunch of passengers. When the train brakes violently and comes to a sudden halt deep in the middle of a forest, it seems they have hit something on the line. But when the driver ventures out to investigate, he never returns, leaving the passengers in a state of panic – particularly when Joe sees the driver’s mutilated body outside the carriage.
Realizing there’s something dangerous lurking in the forest, Joe tells the passengers to make barricades to secure themselves in the carriage, but soon the deadly creature is stalking the besieged train and smashing through their defenses, picking them off one-by-one. Joe rallies his “pack” of passengers to fight back. During a vicious battle they manage to kill the creature, revealing it to be a hideous mutated fusion of human and wild animal – a werewolf. However, celebrations are cut short when they hear more howls coming from the forest…
