A Classic In the Werewolf Genre

This movie was a milestone in Werewolf movie history. It updated the Lycanthropic mythology with new twists and turn. It had obtuse humor paired with real life blood and guts of a maurading beast.
It has great special effects for its time and an engaging story line. So for all you friday nite horror movie fans, dig out the popcorn!

"The last remaining werewolf must be destroyed. It's you, David."

In AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981), writer/director John Landis respectfully tips his hat to the Lon Chaney Jr. lycanthropic classic of 40 years earlier, then deftly surpasses that picture both stylistically and cinematically. In special effects alone, this one is worlds beyond the clumsy film overlaps used to transform Chaney from an upright man to an upright hirsute. Under a full moon, Landis's misfortunate bite victim moans, screams, thrashes, emits guttural sounds and writhes in naked terror as hands and feet elongate into paws, face stretches to a snout, body hair thickens to sparse fur and the newly-born creature loses all bipedal abilities.

We witness this chillingly detailed metamorphosis one time only, and that's more than adequate. Often the stalking monster is represented by a camera looking out from its viewpoint; also effective as we close in on fleeing prey. There's gore, but it's not gratuitous and is used only when necessary. A new element is that those killed by a werewolf are doomed to wander Earth as undeads until the last of the creatures either commits suicide or is destroyed, which is best accomplished by someone who loves the man underneath the wolf.

Simply put: despite a recent CGI-laden version, this well-done, by turns dramatic, humorous and frightening work just may be the werewolf to see. Highly recommended!

I bought this DVD as a gift for my hubby. This is one of his favorite movies. He was really happy when I gave it to him because he didn't have this movie on DVD yet.

American Werewolf in London

I really enjoyed seeing this movie again, it's one of my favorites from when I was young. However, I don't know if it is worth the price difference to buy old movies in Blueray.
