What I consider the best werewolf movie of all time. I didn't care for Paris too much, although the transformation scenes were okay, which is funny, because I think the London transformation scenes were a lot more amazing and realistic looking! Although there are comical moments in London, this is a very dark movie, with tragedy written all over it starting with the first fifteen minutes. The actors are enchanting and the scenery is breathtaking. The best scenes are the Piccadily Circus scene and the subway. This is definitely a four star movie.

This is a site that has a link to an actual fan page devoted to David Naughton, the star of American Werewolf. The reason I didn't just link directly to the David Naughton site is because this is an interesting site devoted to fan pages, a lot that are hard to find.
