Ben-
It is true that the rule is that he hasn’t reviewed the movie however, the last paragraph says ” I haven�t watched it yet” thus why we know it isn’t an Elm Street movie. Also because we are in the month of October Eric felt he would review only horror films.

^^^^^I believe the rule is it has to be a movie that he’s never reviewed , not one that he hasn’t seen.

On a related topic, why are we all stuck on the horror genre lately?

It’s not an “Elm Street” film, because Eric said in his “Freddy vs. Jason” review that he’s already seen all of those.

IMDB’s entry seems conflicted. The synopsis reads: “A young girl whose sister was murdered by werewolves helps an investigator track down a gang of the beasts through the U.S. and Europe.”

Um, I think her sister is alive, personally. I have a hunch.

As a bit of trivia, Brad Dourif (the voice of Chucky) played Grima Wormtongue in the Lord of the Rings movies.

Off-topic: _Tank Girl_ (1995) might be horrible enough for a skewering.

Well, let’s just complete the Christopher Lee horror circle, while we’re at it.

According to the Halloween DVD documentary, Lee was one of Carpenter and Hill’s choices to play Dr. Loomis, but he turned down the roll, which led to the casting of Donald Pleasence. Lee later told the producers that turning down the roll was the biggest mistake of his career.

Interestingly, Christopher Lee was also in the Gremlins 2, although that movie doesn’t quite meet the criteria (the subtitle isn’t as funny, and it was produced in 1990, not the mid 80s.

@ Chris:

I think the other “hugely successful film franchise” to which Eric is referring (besides LOTR) is the new Star Wars trilogy, not the James Bond films. Lee was Count Dookie, er, Dooku.

I hate you, George Lucas.

Does it only come up as “The Howling II: Stirba-Werewolf Bitch” if you’re from the UK or something? Mine came up as “Your Sister is a Werewolf” and had “Stirba-Werewolf Bitch” as the title from the UK release. Hm.

Either way, the UK title is hilarious!!
