Sink Your Teeth Into The New ‘Howl’ Trailer

We’ve got the new trailer for Howl, writer-director Michele Martin‘s dark and twisted reimagining of the classic tale Little Red Riding Hood. In Howl, Dulcina is a young woman with a dark past who is confined to a sanitarium after trying to hurt herself. Against her doctors’ advice, Dulcina leaves to watch over her grandmother’s house, a remote cabin in the middle of a frightening forest. As she travels through the forest, her journey takes a twisted turn, and Dulcina loses her grasp as the lines between what is real and what is not are blurred. When a mysterious man shows up, the once timid and fearful Dulcina gains strength she’s never had before. Soon she embraces the animal that has lain dormant inside her and faces the choice of becoming a victim or wolf.” Michele Martin stars as “Dulcina,” with Kenny Johnson (“Bates Motel”, “Sons of Anarchy”) playing “Levy” and Scott Hamm (“Cobra Kai”) in the role of “Ulf.”
