Remember back in the early 1980s when special-effects makeup artists were tripping over themselves to create the next big effect? The Howling boasted a fantastic werewolf transformation scene courtesy of makeup wizard Rob Bottin. Then along came Bottin's mentor, Rick Baker, with his own spectacular effects in this popular horror comedy directed by John Landis. An American Werewolf in London is more of a makeup showcase than a truly satisfying movie, but the film is effectively moody when David Naughton discovers that a wolf attack has turned him into a bloodthirsty lycanthrope. Jenny Agutter plays his love interest (watch out, he bites!), and who can forget Griffin Dunne as Naughton's best friend, an undead corpse who progressively rots away as the plot unfolds? All things considered, it's easy to see why An American Werewolf in London became a modern horror favorite. --Jeff Shannon

The Movie was just as good as I had remembered. Amazing special effects without the use of computer animation. A definite must have for any movie collection.
Rating: - A gory, but funny movie
An American Werewolf In London was a funny, but gory movie that I enjoyed very much, not to mention David Naughton did a lot of nude scenes in this movie, including his wiener and tushy showing David Naughton with even more nudity and even more nude scenes than anyone else in this movie, including co-star Jenny Agutter(Nurse Alex), since Jenny's tatas were the extent of all her nude scenes, especially when David Naughton(David Kessler) and Jenny Agutter(Alex) did a sexy intimacy scene in the middle ...

Rating: - Werewolf Genius
An American Werewolf in London was one of the first Horror films I saw. I remember hiding in the back room at the age of 5 hoping my parents wouldn't notice what I was watching. I had many a sleepless night due to that film. And I guarantee you that I will never feel safe in a subway.
About the movie:
This is a classic in the werewolf genera, both humorous, frightening, and true to the tragic history of the wolfman. John Landis (of Animal House fame) directed this interesting piece ... Read More
