Audience Reviews for An American Werewolf in London

• Dec 02, 2012

  I think that "An American Werewolf in London" could have used more of a focus on its storytelling rather than its visual effects, but then again, maybe not. It half-parodies the werewolf films that came before it by following along their narrative arcs, so deviating from the classic formula might have made it less effective. Both its humor and scares are of the mildest kind, and though it's slightly memorable for its groundbreaking makeup and special effects, "An American Werewolf in London" is just pretty average. I think that the ending's abruptness might be its funniest part.

  "An American Werewolf In London" is a blast of hilarity, fun characters, and a legendary wolf transformation that will make you howl! This is not a scary film (although, it does have it's moments), but oh what a blast this film is!

  This film felt like a mix of many other prior and later films. The concepts and some scenes were similar to those in Fearless Vampire Killers. I actually enjoyed this one though. The scare tactics were much like those in the second poltergeist. And the humor was so similar to a movie I love the original Fright Night. The credits to this film had campy fun music. This was placed right after a sad scene. Without a fade out or anything. Almost as if Landis didn't know what he was doing. But he did, and the credits even added to the tune of the film. I recommend this as a late night comedy, for almost every age group. This is (for a lack of a better word) a fun movie.

  John Landis was at the peak of his talents here including Rick Baker. The film is a hybrid of genres that most films to this day still struggle with this blending. I hear whispers of a reboot with Max Landis but I wish they would leave this film alone as it is a film of its time. The film still has relevance and is hilarious and very sharp with the Werewolf scenes, the transformation scene is just incredible. I wish more horror films could aspire to this timeless status, just one of those films that will live on. 30-12-2017.
