Howling III: The Marsupials (1987)

Redundant and unnecessary.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Did you people see the same film I saw?

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This one does not really follow in suit with The Howling 1 & Part 2 - even they were very different from one another. Howling 3 takes us on a government chase trying to find these lycanthropes. This clan can have sex with humans, they have pups that they carry in their pouches similar to a kangaroo - and why not they are an Australian clan and they have ties with a Russian clan.The film gets scattered with it's story telling, as if they just filmed some ideas then threw them together to complete the movie. But it is a rather fun movie to watch - unintentionally funny at times.If you are into werewolves it's worth a watch - but really for only those that are really into lycanthropes.5/10

I've interviewed the director of this movie, Philippe Mora, and he's a top bloke, but this is not his finest hour. The thin plot is that werewolves have evolved from Tassie Tigers down under and are being hunted to extinction. Set mostly in Sydney, Australia from the 80's so you have to forgive it a lot for the fashion, music, sfx etc. How they signed up Barry Otto, Frank Thring, Barry Humphries and Michael Pate is a miracle. Picture Alien marsupials bursting out of bellies and into pouches. #nuffsaid

From the bleak waters of Siberia to the searching heart of the outback, the menace is spreading and breeding fast. Only maverick scientist Professor Beckmyer can understand the torment of a freak species when he experiments on a captured "WEREWOLF" in his lab. But to the government and the military, it's an experiment way out of control. For them, an agent of Satan is at large - a dreadful threat to mankind. It must be haunted down and eliminated. This film starred: Barry Otto, Imogen Annesley & Max Fairchild.Howling 3 is another bad film as the 2 before this film, the first one is poor 5/10, the second film 3/10 and this one 4/10 they are all just awful.*/***** Very poor.

Not recommended like it's two predecessors. */***** Very poor.
