	DVD Review - An American Werewolf In London
		In the end, "An American Werewolf In London" is a gory horror film that never degrades into mindless splatter and always challenges the viewer emotionally.
		It is a candid look behind the scenes that gives viewers an indication, just how tedious and laborious the process must have been to create all the make-up effects for the film and how taxing it must have been on the actors to work with them.
		Ever since I have seen "An American Werewolf In London" I have never been able to look at Tottenham Court Road subway station the same ever again, and every time I visit it, I turn around to revisualize the memorable shot from atop the escalator of the wolf appearing out of the hallway.

	Blockbuster Online - An American Werewolf in London
		The werewolf, resembling a cross between a bear and a wolverine, appears frighteningly real, and, given the fantastic premise, the gore is most convincing (although surprisingly and refreshingly scant).
		In all, An American Werewolf in London is an original, atmospheric film that manages both to scare and amuse.
		While dismissed by most American critics upon its release, the film managed to secure a place in the annals of American cinema when Baker won an Academy Award for his amazing effects and creature designs.

	HD DVD Review: An American Werewolf in London \| High-Def Digest
		'An American Werewolf in London' is one of the few remaining artifacts of the lost art of the onscreen cinematic magic trick, and no matter how laughable some may find it today, watching it will always bring a huge smile to my face.
		'An American Werewolf in London' hits HD DVD on a HD 15/DVD-9 doubl-side combo disc, containing a 1080p/VC-1 transfer minted from the same master used for the film's 20th anniversary edition DVD released back in 2001.
		Like Universal's recent HD DVD issue of John Carpenter's 'The Thing,' 'American Werewolf' boasts one of the better upgrades in terms of color reproduction of any catalog title I've yet seen on either next-gen format.

	An American Werewolf in London (1981)
		An American Werewolf in London is nowhere near as bad as The Howling but it still falls short of what it's cracked up to be.
		This is one werewolf you're not going to get away from as the cast find to their dismay when they all try and outrun it.
		But it's the best werewolf film of the 80s and 90s and for a dose of 80s horror, you could do a lot worse than checking this out.

	"An American Werewolf in London" - Volume 7, Issue 3 / November, 1996 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An American Werewolf in London begins with two young Americans, David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne) who come to Europe looking for an adventure, preferably of the human kind.
		However, an interesting technique that director, John Landis, uses is to withhold shots of the wolf in its entirety.
		Werewolf David is at the center of a catastrophic car pile-up, and An American Werewolf in London offers its pathetic hero as the victim of too many cross-collisions of story, miscast performers, and lame comedy.

	AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON - COLLECTOR'S EDITION DVD
		Jack becomes a zombie, the walking dead, because the werewolf's curse was passed on--to David, who's alive and mobile and flirting with his recovery-ward nurse (Jenny Agutter, quite possibly the sexiest women this planet has ever produced), who invites him to move in with her.
		An American Werewolf in London is just a really visceral movie that one cannot help but respond to, best demonstrated by the violently mixed public and critical reaction to its ending, a kind of swan song for seventies nihilism.
		Dunne owns the track more or less; Naughton is the star of an included featurette, "Casting of the Hand" (10 mins.), assembled archival footage of Naughton posing his arm for Baker that proves moderately suspenseful when Naughton's fingers are still stuck in the mold long after they were supposed to come free.

	An American Werewolf In London (1981)
		Released during the short-lived early-80's werewolf boom, John Landis's movie is essentially the smartalecky kid-brother entry, persisting in winking and nudging even when it's otherwise doing an admirably good job of trying to scare us - but failing for all that, because of all the winking and nudging.
		It begins with two American college kids played by David Naughton and Griffin Dunne, who are similar enough in look, dialogue and action that I mostly told them apart by the colors of their coats.
		The actual werewolf, when we finally get to it causing mayhem, ultimately kills more people by standing around and snarling than it does by actually getting its paws dirty.

	An American Werewolf in London
		"The Howling" was dark and horrific, whereas "An American Werewolf in London" (AWIL) was dark and comical.
		Where "The Howling" shrouded their transformations in shadows of pale blue-green lighting (which I think was very eerie), "AWIL" did it in well-lit room liked they were trying to show off their mastery of the effect.
		Also, just saw the sequel "An American Werewolf in Paris" and I was very surprise.

	An American Werewolf in London Movie Review, DVD Release - Filmcritic.com
		An American Werewolf in London, perhaps the best-known werewolf movie of modern times, was one of the first 80s-style horror movies to attempt to move beyond the genre.
		It is (unlike Halloween, which was simply an attempt to make Psycho bloodier and faster) fiercely original, a cultural comedy (it parts off shots on both Americans and Brits), a crazy romance, and a somewhat contrived tragedy (unlike An American Werewolf in Paris, there is no happy ending to this tale).
		An American Werewolf in London is one of those rare horror movies that make you put faith in the genre.

		At the time, if you wanted to make a werewolf movie, you played it straight and scary, not off-set with wise-cracking undead victims warning their infected friend of his inevitable transformation the next full moon.
		Two vacationing American college students (David Naughton and Griffin Dunne) happen into a pub on the British countryside and are warned by the superstitious folk there to "stay off the Moors." Naturally, once they leave the pub, they aimlessly stray from the main road and find themselves on....well, you know.
		Once Naughton awakens in a London hospital sometime later, he is understandably disoriented by his injuries and distraught at the news of his friend's death.

		Between Werewolf and The Howling (did anyone really care for Wolfen or Wolf?), movie-lovers have had their appetites for "homicidal lunar activities" satiated, and the horrendous 1997 sequel (An American Werewolf in Paris) was a demonstration of how all the CGI in the world can't save a moronic script.

	Jamespeak: An American Werewolf in London (John Landis, 1981)
		However, there is one werewolf movie in recent years (recent meaning since the original 1941 film The Wolf Man starring Lon Cheney) that, although not bringing much new to the table in terms of story or werewolf mythology, serves as a superlative template to the modern werewolf film.
		Consider the climactic scene in which the werewolf's appearance in Piccadilly Circus sets off an utterly absurd chain reaction that leads to a seemingly endless and brutal multi-auto pileup accident, where countless drivers, passengers and pedestrians are decapitated, run over, cut in two and flattened.
		I mean, in one way, the filmmakers just can’t win: ideally, the werewolf is supposed to look like, well, a wolf, but that’s not too interesting (“I mean, we paid to watch a monster and we get a freakin’ housepet?”).

	Review: An American Werewolf in London
		Of the three aforementioned early-'80s werewolf movies, the transformation sequences in An American Werewolf in London are the most effective, beating out those in The Howling by a snout (Wolfen isn't even in the running).
		In fact, the transformation sequences on their own are disturbing enough to upset sensitive viewers (even though the first one doesn't occur until an hour into the 97 minute film, making the first two-thirds of the movie relatively tame, with the exception of a few appearances by Jack, who looks like a "walking meatloaf").
		With An American Werewolf in London, Landis couldn't afford to skimp on blood and viscera.

	Movie review of American Werewolf in London
		Landis is astute enough not to show too much of the werewolf, although in the movie’s last quarter he trips up, and over-exposes the beast (it doesn’t look scary at all, more like a dog on super-steroids).
		There are other highly memorable scenes including an hilarious morning after sequence where David wakes up in the wolf enclosure at the zoo, as well as a couple of sensational nightmare sequences, involving a forest and David’s family; the less said about the better.
		Curiously in an interview made in 1982 Landis mentions how he cut a gruesome and scary scene where a trio of tramps are savaged (in the released version they are killed off-screen) because at a preview the audience were so freaked out Landis felt they missed crucial plot points that immediately followed.

	An American Werewolf in London
		Landis was in top form when he directed this quintessential horror-comedy starring Naughton (previously known for dancing in Dr. Pepper commercials) as an American traveling through England on foot who is nearly killed by a werewolf.
		After shacking up with a gorgeous nurse Naughton meets in a London hospital—and having sloppy, passionate sex with her in a shower—he finally transforms into a werewolf during a full moon.
		Both shocking and genuinely funny—with an incredible oldies soundtrack (featuring songs like "Blue Moon" and "Bad Moon Rising")—Landis' film is a horror masterpiece and he never came close to making as good a movie ever again in his career.

		This is an older movie and the special effects are a little cheesy now a days but I bet in there time was great.
		An American Werewolf in London may be over 20 years old, but it still has enough thrills and chills to make your skin crawl, and besides, it's hilariously funny!
		A British werewolf in the North of England makes a brief appearance early on, but otherwise, you're going to wait for a while in John Landis's American Werewolf in London before things really get going.
