Also known as The Curse of the Beast, Night of the Howling Beast and Hall of the Mountain King.
This took me a while to get through because Fawsome, the streaming app, sucks. Don't use it. It has more ads than the others and didn't remember where I was, and then at one point when I went to resume this movie it started playing something else.... I also had to restart this movie twice. I seriously considered not finishing this and leaving a review anyways.
This is part of Paul Naschy's Werewolf series, a movie I've visited on this review site before. These were a somewhat long running series of B or C par Spanish werewolf movies that were relatively modest in scale and success, but like some series just kept going.
Again, this returns to my "surprise" theory about why these would be labeled as Video Nasty. They felt like this was a fairly whatever schlocky Spanish werewolf movie, and were just not ready for it to have a bit more gore effects. This is pretty mild overall, I will have to maybe rate the Nasties on a Nasty Scale, maybe from 1 meaning not nasty to 10 meaning mega nasty each? This is kinda fun to make this up as I go along. Anyways, this is like a 1. One sorta weird skinning scene is I'm sure what did it, it has as much disturbing content as a average monster movie.
Perhaps obvious by the title, this is a movie where Naschy is turned into a werewolf in Tibet and has to fight pirates as well as a Yeti. Well, supposedly. In the last 5 minutes of the movie they have a 1 minute fight scene in the dark that sucks.
The thing with this, is despite the hokey Halloween mask effects and some weird campy stuff going on, this just feels like an absolute chore. Nothing is explained and nothing seems to matter. Things just kind of happen and you just keep watching. It’s basically the opposite of engaging. I give it half a star.
