An American Werewolf In London

Plot: Two Americans are touring England until they get attacked by a werewolf. One survives, only to turn into a werewolf himself.

Review: John Landis, the director of Animal House does a great job with this horror movie. It's got quite a lot of scares, has it's funny parts and is a classic. Landis did something different with the look of the werewolf, as well as the transformation. David (David Naughton) transformation is very painful and not so good to look at. It's nothing compared to the old school wolf man movies with Lon Chaney. This werewolf is actually scary and brutal, killing anyone in its path. Aside from the werewolf, the cast was pretty decent despite being relatively unknown. It mostly had Naughton and Jenny Agutter, who was his nurse. They did a decent job acting. If you want to see a good scary horror classic, this is the movie to see!
