Review of An American Werewolf in London (1981) by Marcdoyle — 28 May 2011
I knew this would be a different kind of horror movie when the first 15 minutes or so featured such witty banter between David Naughton & Griffin Dunne. They're great together, and after Dunne "changes", their interactions only get better.
The soundtrack is perfect- esp. CCR's "Bad Moon Rising" - and the woman who plays the nurse is terrific. Rick Baker, who won the Oscar for his special effects & makeup, did some unprecedented things in the transformation scene.
Probably the worst part of the film is the ending - or lack thereof. Don't quite know what Landis was thinking there, but it certainly didn't spoil the fun for me.
