We don't hear much from John Landis nowadays but, back in the 80's, he was quite a successful director and one of his biggest success was this werewolf flick which has now reached a cult status. First of all, to mix comedy and horror is a tricky challenge and most movies usually fail miserably but Landis did a good job here and sometimes you might wonder if you should be laughing or be horrified b... read more

"An American Werewolf in London" is a overlooked classic of horror that provides laughs and scares and remains fresh upon repeat viewings. Sporting amazing make-up effects by Rick Baker, it also contains a werewolf transformation scene which has to this day not been topped.

I have seen hundreds of low ratings on this movie. Which shouldn't be if people actually paid attention to who it's aimed at; The British.
Why are Americans watching this, or any other Nationalities I guess, but I'll tell you now, this isn't a movie for Americans, obviously you get the odd American that appreciates British Cinema, but not many. Americans when they think of werewolf they exp... read more

“(MU) De Mark Twain (no solo glosado en el título sino que lo lee Jenny Agutter a Naughton) a los clisés del mejor terror del sXX. Landis tiene humor, gusto y la mejor transformación licántropa no digital hasta entonces. Un poco de idiot plot para que pueda haber la bacanas final en Piccadilly Circus. Notable todo lo relacionado al pueblo de East Proctor ...” read more

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)

"Pros: The atmosphere, especially the moors. The off kilter humour. Especially the movie theatre sequence. David Naughton and Griffin Dunne. The makeup effects by Rick Baker. The use of Blue Moon and Bad Moon Rising on the soundtrack. London, England. It’s like a second character in the film. It’s one of the best werewolf films, possibly ever. Con: Sadly, The Twilight Zone incident looms like a dark cloud, over the film."

"19.8. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Parhaita esimerkkejä tasapainoisesta komedian ja kauhun yhdistelystä. Hauska kuin mikä, mutta ottaa aiheensa ja itsensäkin riittävän vakavasti onnistuakseen herättämään muitakin tunteita, kuin hauskuutusta. Efektit ovat kultaa."
