An american Werewolf in London (Movie Review)


[while transforming] "I didn't mean to call you a meat loaf, Jack!"


John Landis directed this film, who is famous for landmark films such as Animal House, Blues Brothers, Trading Places, and even directed Michale Jackson's Thriller video. The Film takes place, you guessed it london, were two American travelers are walking through northern London, and run into a place called the Slaughtered Lamb. Were they are approched with stares and akward silence by the locals, they soon split town. While walking into darkness one of them gets killed and the other gets slashed. This may seem like a boring typical werewolf movie, but if you have seen any of Landis films like the "Blues Brothers," you'll be rewarded with quirky interuptions, laughable characters, and situations. While watching this movie i noticed that there were no special effects or CGI animations but more animatronics, even though now it might be kind of funny because of the dated effects, but it just makes the movie that much better, more outrageous and more of a riot. This movie is easily worth watching because it is so over the top, and i can see at the time it probably was scary with the effects, but now its more laughable but in a good way. Nazi Werewolfs.
