An American Werewolf in London DVD
An American Werewolf in
London (1981) is a chilling horror movie that is one of the smartest films
ever made about werewolves. David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne) are
two American college-age guys who are bumming around Europe. One night as they
walk under a full moon on a moor in northern England, they are attacked by a werewolf.
Jack is killed and David is badly mauled. Later, David awakes in a London hospital,
where his nurse is the lovely Alex (Jenny Agutter). David and Alex start to fall
in love, and when David is discharged from the hospital, he moves in with her.
Soon there’s a full moon when David is alone, and he undergoes a painful transformation
into a werewolf. He then goes out into the streets of London and brutally kills
six people. The film goes on to show how all this works out, maintaining its successful
mix of the gruesome and the comic. | |
