An American Werewolf in London [Blu-ray] [Full Moon Edition; $5 Halloween Candy Cash Offer]

1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (info)

In this grisly black comedy, David Kessler and Jack Goodman (David Naughton and Griffin Dunne, respectively) are two American students on a backpacking tour of Europe. Wandering the backroads of gloomy East Proctor, England, they find a pub where the unhelpful locals act suspiciously strange. The unsuspecting boys flee the pub in search of lodging after being warned to avoid the moors. Lost in the dark countryside, the pair is attacked by a werewolf. Only David survives, waking up three weeks later in a London hospital. As David begins to regain his memory he is tormented by nightmares and is visited by his dead friend Jack, who warns David that he will turn into a werewolf with the next full moon--and that the only way to lift the curse is to kill himself. Because the town of East Proctor has covered up the real cause of the murder, David is forced to face the truth alone. Finally, he is discharged and taken in by his nubile nurse, Alex Price (Jenny Agutter). As Alex and David begin their steamy love affair, it is only a matter of time before the next full moon comes--when the truth will be revealed. Director John Landis has crafted an entertaining, funny horror story, featuring the terrific combination of Naughton and Dunne and a sparkling rock score in which every song includes the word "moon.".

Critic Reviews

"...A clever mixture of comedy and horror....Redolent with sharp dialog and offbeat humor..."
Variety
"...Landis is...serious about making this a horror film that packs a wallop..."
New York Times
"John Landis' giddy, gory 1981 horror comedy remains the lycanthropic gold standard." -- Grade: A-
