Paul Hyett’s Howl gets a new poster, starring Shauna Macdonald

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Although it has been a while since we’ve heard anything about Paul Hyett’s new horror film HOWL, which sounds like a gnarly addition to the werewolf genre, we do have this cool new sales poster. The poster—which you can find below—shows a bloody hand, teasing the film’s claustrophobic setup as a bunch of people on a midnight train find themselves at the center of a werewolf shitstorm. Dig on that below!

Here’s a lengthy synopsis:

Joe, a young ticket collector, is riding the last train out of London on a dark and stormy night along with a meager bunch of passengers. When the train brakes violently and comes to a sudden halt deep in the middle of a forest, it seems they have hit something on the line. But when the driver ventures out to investigate, he never returns, leaving the passengers in a state of panic – particularly when Joe sees the driver’s mutilated body outside the carriage.

Realizing there’s something dangerous lurking in the forest, Joe tells the passengers to make barricades to secure themselves in the carriage, but soon the deadly creature is stalking the besieged train and smashing through their defenses, picking them off one-by-one. Joe rallies his “pack” of passengers to fight back. During a vicious battle they manage to kill the creature, revealing it to be a hideous mutated fusion of human and wild animal – a werewolf. However, celebrations are cut short when they hear more howls coming from the forest…

HOWL stars Ed Speleers, Shauna Macdonald and Sean Pertwee. There’s still no word on a release date, so hang in there.
