1981 was The Year of the Werewolves…the furry fiends leaped onto movie screens in three major films: “The Howling,” “Wolfen,” and the classic of the genre, “An American Werewolf in London.” There has never been a greater werewolf film, there has never been a better transformation scene, and few fright movies can match the bewitching mixture of humor and scares that writer/direction John Landis (”Animal House,” “The Blues Brothers”) achieved here.
Although there had been humor in dread films before this movie, “An American Werewolf in London” showed once and for all that having comedy in a dismay film didn’t mean that the film would lose out in the fear department. Landis makes it definite that the film is NOT a comedy — the scare scenes are carried with dead-seriousness and unsightly impact — but there is so noteworthy quirky humor surrounding these scenes that the film becomes incredibly likable and buoyant. Most of the laughs approach from seeing the frail movie werewolf premise dropped into the recent day and watching the characters try to deal with it.
Actors Griffin Dunne and David Naughton, neither of whom had been in a movie before, originate a fabulous ‘ordinary guy’ feeling to their characters of two young American boys backpacking through Europe. In rural England, they have a evil encounter with a legendary monster, and Naughton faces the consequences of being bitten when he returns to London and takes up living with a radiant nurse (Jenny Agutter) .

The transformation scene is justly well-known and a milestone in visual effects. Make-up wizard Rick Baker lets the viewers leer a real-time twisting of a human body into a wolf shape: limbs stretch, snouts pop, hair grows, the body contorts…it’s astounding to gaze. (And on DVD, you can ogle it over and over and over again) . Even computer graphics can’t attain an carry out as startling as this one.
This DVD offers some nice extras. The image is pleasant, and the 5.1 Surround Sound is decent (although there’s not a lot of help speaker sound) . Actors Naughton and Dunne do feature commentary on the film, and provide some intriguing information and sound as if they were having a spacious time reliving the experience. I wish that Landis had been on the commentary as well, but you can hear his thoughts on the film in an 18-minute interview. Landis is an absolute hoot to listen to; the guy is as comic as his movie, and he absolutely bursts with ideas and observations. To go along with the Landis interview is an 11-minute interview with make-up maestro Rick Baker. He provides a bright scrutinize at crafting what he calls “the coolest werewolf film ever made.” Also included is a vintage featurette on the making of the film, although it’s only about five minutes long (but you come by more of wise-cracking John Landis), ten minutes of archival footage of Baker making a cast of David Naughton’s hand, and an assortment of storyboards, outtakes, and production photos.
“An American Werewolf in London” is a major turning point in dread films and visual effects — and even over twenty years later, it is aloof one of the most provocative movies of its decade. It hasn’t primitive at all, and this DVD lets you experience it the method it should be seen (and in the company of wild-man John Landis!)
This is one of the few movies that have consistently given me nightmares since I was a child. It is at least a decade ahead of its time. Most of the negative criticisms that I have read expend the word “uneven” a lot. Even Roger Ebert, whom I appreciate, claimed that the humor and the dread were an uneasy mix. This was years before he gave the movie Yell a definite review. Now I LIKE the movie Bellow, but there is no scheme that one can claim that it gets the balance upright whereas Werewolf gets it substandard. Weep simply benefits from occurring in the cynical nineties – Werewolf suffers from being avant guard. .

The unusual DVD has a few top-notch extras on it – especially a current interview with Landis. Even after all these years, the film peaceful holds up. Unlike most films, I peep more things in it the more I glimpse. What, for instance, is up with the townsfolk of East Proctor and what is their relationship with the current werewolf? My guess – they brought it on themselves somehow. Maybe one of their enjoy ran over a gypsy and was cursed. Instead of killing the bloke, they all choose to cloak beneath the pentangle in The Slaughtered Lamb every burly moon.
I am recently returned from England and this movie is listed in Fodor’s as one of the films that best showcases London. I heartily agree. I visited the noxious tube finish at Tottenham Court Road and it aloof looks worthy the same as when the David made his raze there. And as I walked, alone in the countryside, beneath the light of the plump moon, I had to ask myself, “Am I crazy? ” Fortunately, I made it to the pub. There I waited, beneath the pentangle, for my friends to paddle me home.
