I remember watching this movie when I was a kid and getting the BeJesus scared out of me. Today, it's not nearly as scary. The werewolf looks kind of fake compared to creatures nowadays. It's a little dated, but it is still a decent movie. Even though the werewolf looks kind of like an overgrown sewer rat, the transformation from man to werewolf is classic. Micheal Jackson pretty much ripped off the transformation in his video 'Thriller'. Nearly identical. Good story though, average to slightly above average acting, and good special effects make this a pretty good horror movie. The last 15 minutes are the best part of the movie. It still gets my heart going a little bit, just not as much as when I was a kid.
OK, this is a bit out of my norm, but I am a Michael Jackson fan, so I had to take the plunge. The story from "The Making of Thriller" is that John Landis is the director of both films, and "American Werewolf in London" was an influence on Thriller. SO, if you need an extension of Thriller for the Halloween season, go for it! There is some humor mixed in with a bit of gore, some special effects look a little old fashioned, others are still good. The deteriorating dead friend is pretty funny, Yup, funny! Kind of ends all of a sudden, and we were like, "Hey, Wait!" Overall a pretty good movie, I would recommend it. ESPECIALLY for MJ fans if you haven't seen it!
one of the best w.w. movies & the first to be exploited upon on its shape made via john landis & ric baker. the best along /w the orig. lon chaney one, the boy who cried werewolf, silver bullet, the howling & any others? this film has just about ever action bit to it /w some orig. crazy like ideas. it could have used more monsta action in its attack scenes & film felt a lil short but really wasnt. i guess short only due to needin more action in the attack scenes.
This is a good money and and the price was so reasonable on it eBay does a great job of pricing out items that are affordable for people that are on a fixed income and I appreciate that so much it's a great movie I recommend anybody would get it and they would enjoy it

I hadn't seen this movie in a long time and I did enjoy it but for people who are looking for the best werewolf transformation or special effects I would say get the howling the original howling it's from a year after this and it's so much better
