American tourists David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne) are savaged by an unidentified vicious animal whilst hiking on the Yorkshire Moors.  David awakes in a London hospital to find his friend dead and his life in disarray.  Retiring to the home of a beautiful nurse (Jenny Agutter, Walkabout) to recuperate, he soon experiences disturbing changes to his mind and body, undergoing a full-moon transformation that will unleash terror on the streets of the capital.
An American Werewolf in London had audiences howling with laughter and recoiling in terror upon its cinema release.  Landis’ film has gone on to become one of the most important horror films of its decade, rightly lauded for its masterful set-pieces, uniquely unsettling atmosphere and Rick Bakers ground-breaking, Oscar-winning special makeup effects.

“There is something inexpressibly fresh and zany in this kind of macabre  humor, a delighting in the sheer movie nonsense of it all, that makes  American Werewolf a wacky marriage of the sophomoric and the surreal.” – Kenneth Turan, New West/California 

 “A howling good horror comedy that continues to be the high standard in creature feature filmmaking.” – Matthew Pejkovic, Matt’s Movie Reviews
