Two American students on a walking tour of Europe trudge on to the next town, when suddenly the air is pierced by an unearthly howl... Three weeks later, one is dead, the other is in the hospital and the nightmare begins for "An American Werewolf In London." David Naughton, Griffin Dunne and Jenny Agutter starin the contemporary story of the macabre which takes you from the Welsh moors to Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square and the ground of Windsor Castle.It is written and directed by John Landis, the man who brought you "National Lampoon's Animal House," "The Blues Brothers," "Trading Places," "Innocent Blood" and "Coming To America." To add to the chill, there is art direction by Academy Award-winner Les Dilley of "Star Wars" and "Alien" fame and special makeup effects by six-time Academy Award-winner Rick Baker, whose work includes "Star Wars,""The Nutty Professor," Tim Burton's "Planet Of The Apes," Dr. Seuss' "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Men In Black." Amazon.com: 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 Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - A classic horror movie Always a great movie to watch around Halloween! The transformation scene was always a classic and having it set to "Moondance" by Van Morrison sets the mood. The whole movie is creepy and great for getting into the Halloween spirit. The blu-ray just makes it all the more enjoyable on the HD screen. If you like horror movies, you'll enjoy this one. Rating: - This was fantastic!
