Howl (2015) (UK)

⭐️⭐️⭐️


A fed up train guard is forced to work the red-eye shift after getting off his previous run. The usual shitty commuters worsen his mood after finding out he’s been passed over for a supervisory position by his crappy coworker. The train comes to an abrupt stop in the middle of a rural bit of nowhere after hitting something big. Unfortunately for everyone, that big something is a werewolf and its first victim is the driver. The usual snipping subsides when the idiots realize there’s something incredibly dangerous on the prowl after they try to hoof it to the nearest station. Trapped on the train, with no means of moving, they attempt to survive the night. Some assholes turn out to be pretty decent folks and some are straight-up garbage but they’ll have to work together to not get eaten. There’s a lovely cameo from Sean Pertwee and an injured pensioner slowly succumbing to her werewolf wound. The werewolf is kind of goofy-looking and it gets a little corny but the heroes are pretty damn likable and there’s a healthy amount of splatter, so I didn’t feel like I was wasting my time.
