Product Details of An American Werewolf in London [HD DVD]

Description

...A clever mixture of comedy and horror....Redolent with sharp dialog and offbeat humor... Variety ...Landis is...serious about making this a horror film that packs a wallop... New York Times John Landis' giddy, gory 1981 horror comedy remains the lycanthropic gold standard. -- Grade: A-Entertainment Weekly

While not that scary, it was funny and kept my interest....especially the dead people ragging on him.

A well crafted modern werewolf story. David Naughton seems a bit of a lightweight for the part but he delivers. Almost a mystery film with touches of horror. The morning awakening in the zoo was pretty cool. Worth a rental.

This isn't terrifying, but it's suspenseful as you wait for the main character to turn into a werewolf. The make up effects on his zombie friend are great. A classic worth at least renting.

I actually saw this a month before I was supposed to back-pack across England and Europe with a friend, so you can imagine the impact it had on me. I enjoyed it at the time I saw it, but it wasn't a movie that stayed with me, the way classics will, and I have no desire to see it again. Good, but not great.

When it first appeared I would have rated it a three. It stands the test of time, however, and I bump it to a four.
