I've decided to make my splendid debut. And what better way to do it than talk about werewolves? Wait a second... Twilight has werewolves.
What better way to do it than talk about awesome werewolves?
An American Werewolf in London starts off with two friends, David Kessler (played by David Naugton) and Jack Goodman (played by Griffin Dunne) backpacking across Northern England. After a visit to a strange pub, they are attacked by a werewolf on the moors. Jack is killed, but David survives. Three weeks later, David wakes up in a London hospital, and recieves a supernatural visit from Jack, who is in limbo until the werewolf's bloodline ends. Jack urges David to kill himself.
David is discharged, and moves in with Alex Price (played by Jenny Agutter), a nurse whom he had grown infatuated with. That night, he is visited by Jack again, with another warning. When Alex goes to work the next evening, the full moon arrives, and David transforms into a werewolf, unleashing terror upon London.
This movie is one of the best monster movies of all time. The makeup effects in this film are amazing. It used no CGI, yet it has an entire transformation of a man into a wolf plainly visible on film. The story is good, and the script utilized enough comedy to keep the mood light. This is an overall fantastic film, and is very enjoyable to anyone who isn't too squeamish.
Beware the moon.
