Review of An American Werewolf in London (1981) by Tim L — 15 Nov 2010
I really enjoyed this classic '80's horror about an American who gets bitten by a rabid wolf on the night of a full moon on the Yorkshire moors and ... well you can guess the rest! The characters are likeable and the film is inventive, fun and watchable.
The special effects of this film are often touted as some of the best of the time and you can see why - the first change from man to beast is particularly well done, making you really empathise with the pain and terror the unfortunate man is going through. This scene alone makes the film stand head and shoulders above 100 CGI-laden modern horrors; but it isn't the only thing this film has going for it. In essence, it has stood the test of time because it is a lot of fun to watch - a perfect film for a Friday night in.
