Ben is mourning the recent death of his sister, Karen, whom he believes to have been killed in a savage wolf attack. At her funeral, Ben is approached by the mysterious Stefan, who warns him that a cult of werewolves had attacked Karen and that she too will become an undead lycanthrope. Although dismissing his claim as mere superstition, Ben’s girlfriend Jenny convinces him that he should take Stefan’s warning more seriously, and, sure enough, Karen is soon back from the dead, covered in fur and complete with a deadly set of K9s. After being narrowly saved from a fatal bite by Stefan, Ben is persuaded that he’s telling the truth and volunteers to join him on his mission to destroy the increasing hoards of beastly creatures ravaging Europe. But as their journey takes them to Transylvania, where werewolves from around the world are gathering for their ritual, Ben and Stefan fear that they might be in over their heads, mainly once werewolf queen Stirba receives news of their arrival...

Australia’s king of B-movies, director Philippe Mora (Mad Dog Morgan, The Beast Within), delivers an outrageously blood-soaked sequel with HOWLING II: YOUR SISTER IS A WEREWOLF, assembling the talents of international sex symbol Sybil Danning (Reform School Girls), cult star Reb Brown (Yor: Hunter From the Future), musician and TV personality Jimmy Nail, alongside horror icons Ferdy Mayne (The Fearless Vampire Killers) and Christopher Lee (The Satanic Rites of Dracula). Loaded with memorably gruesome set pieces, delivered with tongue firmly in cheek, Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents the UHD debut of this beloved 80s horror classic in its uncut international form, newly restored in 4K from its original camera negative and bursting at the seams with new and archival bonus features.

Waiting for this like...

[Cortiz]

This was awful and sometimes I like awful, but this was beyond awful.

[BobSimms]

Sybil Danning’s hair sure is something else in this film.

[jess1581]

Ordered!

[PipesDonatello]

Ordered. God this movie is ridiculous.

[stvn1974]

It's nice to see the classics finally coming to the format.

[Infallible Presence]

Finally get to upgrade my MGM DVD.

[Donl1282]

I hope 3-7 come to UHD as well.

[lildemon666]

The only missing extras is the arrows alternate opening and ending. Can anyone confirm what’s the difference?

[Donl1282]

Is there a release date? I couldn’t find it.

I was excited to see Dolby Vision used on this VS 4k release!

VS usually doesn't do Dolby Vision. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a shared release with Arrow UK.

[Infallible Presence]

Just realized; this is one of the further proofs that VS could save "Lifeforce." Many keep claiming that they can't because it's under Shout!'s label. But, so was this and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2."

[fred25_Ca]

Holy crap, I really hope we get 4 and 5 from them. They were released in great quality last year in Germany and i've been hoping someone from over here will do the same. Please VS?

[Comicfan]

Just pre-ordered. It's rare when I order the limited-edition release from Vinegar Syndrome. Usually, I just get the standard release from Amazon. I've only gotten the limited edition of something from them one time (Cloak And Dagger). This now makes two times. I only have two other Vinegar Syndrome releases plus one from a partner label. Loved this film as a kid and liked it even more then the first. Didn't like any after the first two.

Wait is this "The" Howling sequel? Forgive me I know nothing of this series

Just September. Until it’s available at other retailers, all of this month’s new releases from VS will ship out around the end of the month.

I have 4 from Spain and Germany, and was planning to get 5 also. I'd double-dip if VS released them.

Of the six sequels, this is the only one that's connected to the original. Don't expect the same kind of movie, though. It's really campy and sleazy, but very entertaining.
