The Howling: Reborn is a 2011 American direct-to-video werewolf horror film directed by Joe Nimziki and starring Lindsey Shaw, Landon Liboiron, and Ivana Milošević. It is a remake of the 1981 film The Howling.

Shy and withdrawn high school student Ellie Haskell is tormented by classmates and teachers alike. When her only friend, Joey, is killed in a freak accident, Ellie is left completely alone. She finds solace in watching horror movies, particularly those featuring werewolves.

One night, while walking home from a late night movie, Ellie is attacked by a werewolf. She is saved by a mysterious stranger, who tells her that she is now a werewolf herself. Ellie is reluctant to believe him, but soon discovers that she has developed superhuman strength and agility, and a craving for human flesh.

As Ellie comes to terms with her new identity, she is pursued by a pack of werewolves led by the ruthless Kane. Kane wants to make Ellie his mate and create a new werewolf dynasty, but Ellie is determined to resist. With the help of her new friends, she must find a way to stop Kane before he can achieve his goals.
