  SPLICEDwire: "An American Werewolf in Paris" review
Any chance "An American Werewolf in Paris" had to stand up against it's cult classic predecessor is abandon 10 minutes into the movie when it is revealed that one of the werewolves is a nurse.
An in-name-only sequel cashing in on John Landis' darkly funny 1981 flick "An American Werewolf in London," this movie is something of a scary-comic mutation.
Meanwhile an American named Andy (Tom Everett Scott from "That Thing You Do!") and a couple of his pals backpacking through Europe rescue the Serafine (Julie Delpy), the werewolf nurse, from a suicide attempt when she jumps off the Eiffel Tower and Andy bungie jumps after her (don't ask).

 An American Werewolf in Paris . Weekly Alibi . 01-05-98
What I remember most about John Landis' 1981 comedy/horror classic, An American Werewolf in London, is that its star, David Naughton (most widely known at the time as the cute dancing Dr. Pepper pitch boy) lost his commercial contract with Dr. Pepper because he bared his white ass in the film.
It isn't until he actually turns into a werewolf that he believes he is one, a period during which he kills a bimbo and one of the film's countless bumbling cops.
An American Werewolf in Paris isn't all bad, but it's quite a bit more like watching the Keystone Cops chase the Three Stooges down the sewers of Paris than it is like watching a horror film.

 VFX HQ: AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS
The full body werewolf shots feature this realistic hair, but what ruins the effects in many shots is the frequent robotic animation, with the creature sometimes moving quite slow and deliberate, and at other times moving faster than can be believed.
The werewolf appears small in frame at the end of a tunnel, on its hind legs, then drops to all fours and charges toward the camera.
An evening version of the same shot, minus the camera move, was a lot more convincing.

But when he finally does find her, he instantly regrets the decision: It turns out that Serafine is a werewolf, and while trying to escape from her and a horde of wolfmen, Brad is killed, Chris is captured and Andy is bitten.
It is an interesting premise but also one that sets up lots of messy human-werewolf encounters, which are shown quite graphically.
"An American Werewolf in Paris" is rated R for violence, sickening gore, sex, nudity, some vulgar gags and dialogue and some profanity.

 CNN - 'American Werewolf' scores a zero - January 17, 1998
Scott, in an attempt to impress his simpleton friends, prepares to take a bungee jump off the Eiffel Tower after it's shut down for the night.
There's some supposedly frightening foolishness about werewolves in Paris (aside from the tower sequence, the movie could just as easily have been set in Minneapolis) being hipsters who've come up with a drug that allows them to sprout fangs whenever they want, instead of having to wait for a full moon.
I would suggest, however, that if you're an 18-year-old chowder-head, you might want to go see it so you can look back in 2015 and wonder what the hell you were thinking.

"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 PARIS
TOM EVERETT SCOTT plays an unassuming young man (an avid bungee jumper) who unfortunately is bitten by a werewolf and becomes one himself, and kills while in that state.
Added to that is an inane subplot about a group of werewolves who want to organize into a "superior race" of such creatures, and the often sloppy film making and the low budget appearance.
As in any werewolf movie, the appearance and violent actions of the creatures may be scary to very young viewers.

 American Werewolf in Paris
The werewolf leaps out in slow-motion, and shakes itself dry, and a wringing action ripples down its body from neck to tail, torque and twist snapping CG water droplets loose from the fur that blend seamlessly with the actual water from the empty plate.
She's a reluctant, hereditary werewolf (Waller confides that in an earlier version of the script, she is the love-child of London's Alex, the nurse; and David, the wolf).
Being a werewolf is a paring-away of the layers of consciousness, getting to the basic, animalistic core at the center of all human beings -- the part of us in which we are most alike, the basic instincts: aggression, fear, anger.

The album starts off on an excellent mix with a remix of the immensely popular Bush song "Mouth," a track off their sophomore record.
The Better Than Ezra song, "Normal Town," also came off the band's second record, and although it didn't get much attention in its original release, this track fits perfectly in the mix and is one of the brighter spots on the soundtrack.
The Suicide Machines add an upbeat and fast touch to the album with their "Break the Glass," an intense ska song which is a good break in the record.

THE DIRT: It's in poor taste that David Naughton (American Werewolf in London) wasn't given, at the very least, a cameo or flashback.

An American Werewolf In London is one of two films released that year, that showed us what a little latex and a lot of imagination (and bladders) can do.
Besides (the first) Howling, American Werewolf is the best werewolf flick out there, and holds up nicely to today's cheesy horror flops.

The werewolf effects deserve a special mention - they are mostly digital shots this time around (London created some of the most ground-breaking make up effects), and they are, to put it nicely, utterly pathetic.
The shadow detail is, surprisingly, quite good, and the night-time scenes (of which there are quite a few, this being a werewolf movie and all) look much better than the day-time scenes as the grain becomes less obvious.
This is an especially good effort as there is no dedicated centre channel to anchor the dialogue.

 An American Werewolf in Paris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is an extra scene where Claude explains the history of werewolves and confirms that Serafine is the daughter of a traveller who was killed in London.
Although at the end of the movie, Serafine was hinted at being cured after Andy (in werewolf form) eats Claude's heart in the subway, making it seem impossible that Sarafine was born a werewolf.
The song was later remixed and released on the album Deconstructed, the version of which was incorporated into the film itself and released on its accompanying soundtrack.

This movie is a pale imitation of the original `American Werewolf in London' and I imagine that the director of that 1981 classic John Landis was none to pleased to be associated with this production (in the credits it refers to using characters from the original).

The special effects were impressive, using computer generated werewolves to achieve fluidity of motion beyond the limits of actor in latex-and-fur; however, computer-generated effects are quickly becoming the norm, making the film not worth the cost of a ticket.
