Review of An American Werewolf in London (1981) by Kj P — 16 Oct 2015
These excessively gory horror films of the 1980's have either been extreme turn on or off for me. "An American Werewolf in London" is a definite plus to it's genre. Helming some genuinely creepy practical effects and some fantastic gore, this is one horror film that will never feel dated.
As two friends arrive in London, they are attacked by a wolf. While one comes back as a zombie, the other must face the fact that he will turn into a werewolf at each moon's first light unless he kills himself.
With a dark story, there are some very charming moments peppered throughout this picture. I had a blast watching this film and I would highly recommend it to any horror fans out there. With a script you don't have to take too seriously and direction that is clearly poking fun while staying creepy, "An American Werewolf in London" is great! If I had to fault it, it would be the fact that it takes far too long to build up to the conclusion.
Overall, it is a very fun time.
