An American Werewolf in London
Rating: 6.6 / 10 (130 votes cast)

In Theatre : August 21, 1981
Director(s):

In John Landis' (THE BLUES BROTHERS, ANIMAL HOUSE) dripping black comedy, two American students (David Naughton and Griffin Dunne) on a European vacation wander into a creepy local pub in Northern England and are quickly thrown out.
 
Stranded and alone in the dark countryside, the pair get lost in their search for warm lodging. Little do they know that they are about to be changed forever by an ancient terror as they walk along the moors on a moonlit night.
 
Only one of the students survives a deadly attack by a supernatural beast--at least he thinks he survived, until the next full moon rolls around.
 
Terrific makeup effects (by Oscar winner Rick Baker), clever editing, and raunchy tongue-in-cheek humor made this suspenseful and thrilling horror effort an instant classic.

An American Werewolf in London Review by Dirigible

"Listen in awe and you'll hear him...Bark at the moon"John Landis hit home with his maniacal genius and this film. An American Werewolf in London has it all. It has laughs, it has tears, it has hot babes (Jenny Agutter *...
