Synopsis
John Landis writes and directs this bloody yet black humor-injected thriller that tells the story of American backpacker David (David Naughton), who, after surviving a vicious werewolf attack that left his friend, Jack (Griffin Dunne), dead, becomes a murderous werewolf himself. Prowling the streets of London, David learns that his living-dead victims will wander in limbo until he is dead. This film garnered an Oscar for Best Makeup.

Personal Thoughts
An American Werewolf in London is one of my wife's all-time favorites. Over the years, I'd seen parts of it, but never the whole thing. When I was scanning over my collection, and checking Netflix for the next movie to watch, she recommended that I watch this one.
I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! The only thing I really didn't like about this movie was the fact that actor David Naughton kept being exposed at times (frontal exposure). I said to my wife, "I don't wanna see that"! Other than that, this was an entertaining one, definitely one of the better werewolf movie's I'd seen in a while. I liked the story, I liked the scenery ... I also liked some of the effects. Though I'm not always a fan of black humor (horror/comedy) this one ended up working for me. In all, I probably should have seen this movie years ago.
Here's how it all begins:
Two American college students, David Kessler (David Naughton) and Jack Goodman (Griffin Dunne), are backpacking across the Yorkshire moors. As darkness falls, and they decide to stop for the night at a pub called "The Slaughtered Lamb". Jack notices a five-pointed star on the wall. When he asks about it, the pub becomes very quiet. The pub-goers start acting very strangely. The pair decide to leave, but not before the others offer them pieces of advice such as "Beware the moon, lads" and "Keep to the road." Whilst conversing with each other and wondering what they meant, they wander off the road, onto the moors.
