Scary
movies # 12 - An American Werewolf in London
Year: 1981 Director: John
Landis
"Stay
on the road, keep clear of the moors" - probably best
to avoid Piccadilly Circus too if the final scene is anything
to go by.
Two
American backpackers are trudging along the Yorkshire moors
when they are attacked a werewolf one is killed whilst the
other recuperates in hospital unfortunately not aware that
he will now become a werewolf at the next full moon.
The
wit of John Landis, allied to some stunning special effects
come together to make this the top werewolf movie of all
time. Where
this film truly excels is the way it skips along quite
beautifully between moments of humour and horror. The make
up and special effects on the film are also absolutely
stunning (the stretching transformation from human to werewolf
is an amazing piece of cinema magic).
