Howling V is definitely the best of the Howling sequels, but that really isn't saying much. The basic premise has a group of previously unrelated people brought to an ancient castle in darkest Europe, and before long they're left with the mystery of who is killing them off one by one. The pro log shows a previously failed attempt to kill off the bloodline of the werewolf in this same castle; we're to assume by this and of course by the title that the killer is a descendant of the survivor so many years ago.
Super low budget and looks it, with hardly a werewolf to be seen, but I think it works in it's own way. Fairly suspenseful, fairly well acted for what appears to be an amateur endeavor, with a good twist ending. Not a literary classic by any means, but definitely enjoyable. Howling 6 was a decent although lesser sequel. New Moon Rising is embarrassing to watch. Not only shot on video, but apparently shot on 8mm video to boot. The three entries in this series worth seeing are the original, this one, and to a lesser extent part 6. Avoid the others like the plague.
5/10
