A hard-boiled detective hunts a serial killer only to discover the murderer is a blood-cursed werewolf.

In Night of the Howling, the city is under siege from a savage killer who strikes only under the full moon. Detective Whitlock, a weary investigator haunted by his own demons, begins to suspect that the murderer tearing victims limb from limb isn't human at all--but something far worse. As he delves deeper into the blood-soaked mystery, Whitlock uncovers a nightmarish truth: the predator stalking the streets is a werewolf, cursed by an ancient evil and driven by an uncontrollable thirst for human flesh.

Director Matt Jaissle (The Necro Files, Back From Hell, Apocalypse Bigfoot) delivers a throwback to the gritty practical horror of the VHS era, blending detective noir atmosphere with feral creature violence. Brutal, moody, and unrelenting, Night of the Howling channels the spirit of cult classics like The Howling, An American Werewolf in London, and Dog Soldiers, merging hard-boiled crime with visceral werewolf horror.

Featuring standout performances from Hunter Nino and Chris Heikka, the film builds to a bloody showdown between man and monster--a confrontation where morality dissolves under moonlight.

Bonus materials include a director's commentary, an in-depth conversation with Matt Jaissle and Chris Heikka, and trailers. A must-have for fans of underground horror and creature features that bite back.
