Review of An American Werewolf in London (1981) by Noah K — 19 Sep 2011
While it doesn't completely stand the test of time, this movie is a classic monster and FX makeup movie.
*My reviews contain spoilers, but I don't attempt to summarize the plot*.
I enjoyed this movie. The FX makeup was revolutionary at the time - and it's fun to see where movies like Underworld got their tranformation sequences.
My biggest issue was with the events leading up to the two men getting attacked by the werewolf. Even had they not been warned by the pub customers to stay on the roads - why would you walk through a field? If I'm in a strange land, I would stick to roads. They at least lead somewhere, provide reference points, and DON'T potentially lead you to getting lost in a forest.
I also didn't care for how abrupt the ending was - but other than that, great movie.
