Synopsis

The Howling Death: New Blood is a 2029 American action thriller film written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, the producer of the film’s predecessors, written by David Twohy, and produced by Legendary Pictures and del Toro. It is the fifth installment in The Chronicles of Mister Wolf film series, as well as the direct sequel to The Blood Wolf, which had initially concluded the series. The film stars Alexander Skarsgård and Emma Stone who reprise their roles from the previous films, with John Krasinski, Tyrese Gibson, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Laurence Fishburne also returning, and they are joined by Taissa Farmiga, Everleigh McDonell, Demián Bichir, and Colin Farrell. It follows a rookie cop who is left behind in a snowy forest by her corrupt squad, only to be saved by Marcus Black. Both want to kill the cops, and they join forces with Larry Kress, who Black thought to be dead, and they begin to hunt the cops. New Blood opened in theaters on January 19th, 2029; it received generally positive reviews with praise for the thrills, del Toro’s direction, the action sequences, and Skarsgård and Farmiga’s performances, but criticism for its needlessly similar story and graphic violence. It was also a financial success like the rest of the films, grossing $918 million worldwide. A sequel is in development.

  • misterwolf A feverish Layla is found by a shadowy figure and is brought to his home. She awakens to find that she was saved by the infamous criminal Marcus Black, known as the “Howling Death” or “Mister Wolf”, as well as his wolf Salazar. He explains that she is not the only one who was betrayed by police officers, reciting his war against Walker herself in the previous films, and Layla concludes that Walker not only betrayed Black, but Black had killed Walker as punishment for slandering his name across Los Angeles.

  • misterwolf Black promises to Layla that once she heals, she can team up with him to take down the traitorous cops. Kevin Walker, the son of Virginia and the new commissioner of Los Angeles, is informed that Layla’s body could not be found, and in a fit of rage, he realizes that Black is still at large and that he saved Layla. Black’s wife Dakota and her mother Marion treat Layla’s wounds, while Black sets several traps in case the cops arrive, before going on a deer hunt. He drives an arrow through a big buck and kills it and arrives home with the body intact.

  • misterwolf A frightened and enraged Walker sends the new sheriff Carlos Salvador to kill them, but Black overpowers him. Just as he believes he is going to die, he is instead spared by Black and Layla. Dakota gives them throwing knives, and Dakota’s brother Gabriel O’Hara and his best friend Mark Quinn join them. They are stopped by Larry Kress, who Black had thought to have been killed, and he provides them with former cops who quit their duties in Los Angeles out of disgust towards the L.A.P.D’s actions.

  • misterwolf They set up camp in the mountains, and Black tells Layla how he found Salazar, and she remarks that the two became inseparable. Black notices a bunch of S.W.A.T helicopters, and the teams eject them to hunt the group. Black and Layla kill all of them, and Black uses his radio to threaten Walker; he forces him to face the group in the forest, where they meet in the beginning of a snowstorm. Black and Walker engage in a violent fight; the two are evenly matched, and they both seriously injure one another, but eventually, Layla and a healed Salazar arrive and overmatch Walker, who is beheaded by Black. They dump his body in the river, and depart back to Black’s cabin.

  • misterwolf In the aftermath, the L.A.P.D are investigating Walker’s disappearance. As the snowstorm ends, Black allows Layla to live in the cabin with his daughter Chloe’s blessing, and Layla accepts. Salvador vows revenge and compliments that they should have killed him, and then the end credits roll.
