In John Landis' (THE BLUES BROTHERS, ANIMAL HOUSE) dripping black comedy, two American students (David Naughton and Griffin Dunne) on a European vacation wander into a creepy local pub in Northern England and are quickly thrown out. Stranded and alone in the dark countryside, the pair get lost in their search for warm lodging. Little do they know that they are about to be changed forever by an ancient terror as they walk along the moors on a moonlit night. Only one of the students survives a deadly attack by a supernatural beast--at least he thinks he survived, until the next full moon rolls around. Terrific makeup effects (by Oscar winner Rick Baker), clever editing, and raunchy tongue-in-cheek humor made this suspenseful and thrilling horror effort an instant classic.

    American Werewolf in London

    By mandy  Apr 22, 2006

    Pros: humours

    Cons: the ending

    I did enjoy it, my main problems were that the acting especially that of David seemed somewhat plastic to me though for an 80s film I suppose that's to be expected. I did appreciate that the wounds and "gore" weren't overly done the...y were obvious without being stomach turning. My big question has to be though, who the hell goes into a strange country for a trip and manages to walk off the road and God knows how far into field without noticing it!? I was disappointed in the ending I was actually startled by the ending credits, there really should have been some closing scene, something to take me from "there's David, he really is a werewolf and now he's dead too" to "the end." But honestly I can see why it's the cult classic it is, it managed to remain very light keep me laughing even in the tense scenes. Read more Less
