Remember back in the early 1980s when special-effects makeup artists were tripping over themselves to create the next big effect? The Howling boasted a fantastic werewolf transformation scene courtesy of makeup wizard Rob Bottin. Then along came Bottin's mentor, Rick Baker, with his own spectacular effects in this popular horror comedy directed by John Landis. An American Werewolf in London is more of a makeup showcase than a truly satisfying movie, but the film is effectively moody when David Naughton discovers that a wolf attack has turned him into a bloodthirsty lycanthrope. Jenny Agutter plays his love interest (watch out, he bites!), and who can forget Griffin Dunne as Naughton's best friend, an undead corpse who progressively rots away as the plot unfolds? All things considered, it's easy to see why An American Werewolf in London became a modern horror favorite. --Jeff Shannon

Hadn't seen this movie in a few years (quite a few) and caught it on AMC just the other night during their Fear Fest '08. I taped it and have been watching it with glee every day too.
David and Jack are attacked early in the movie by a Werewolf, David's life is spared by the patrons of the Slaughtered Lamb pub, but now he has inherited the bloodline of the beast, and is the last one apparently and needs to die in order for all the people he will kill (plus Jack) to cross over to the other side, as they currently walk the earth in limbo.
Jack wants him to commit suicide, but David seems to think he's going crazy, hallucinating, basically losing his mind.
As many have stated, the tranformation scenes...especially the first time David turns are really good, there is some blood and gore, but it's not anything like in today's movies. Even seeing Jacks's tore up face in the first scene of him as the undead is not too bad, and he's more concerned about his would be girlfriend going off to sleep with some other guy right after his funeral "love mocks me, even in death" I believe was the line he used.
To me there are so many funny scenes in this movie. David and Jacks relationship seems to get even better when Jack becomes a member of the undead....I love his lines when trying to get David to kill himself. "Can I have a piece of your toast?" And holding up the Mickey Mouse figurine and mimicking "Hi-Ya, David!" Plus his increasing decomposition as the movie goes along. The classic porn theatre scene is priceless with all David's fresh kills sitting there decomposing trying to come with ideas on how David should off himself.
David has an insatiable appetite for people when he turns, and for his love interest the Nurse Alex whom he is frisky for throughout. While at the theatre I spoke of earlier he turns into the Werewolf again and this begins the final showdown outside the theatre that has plenty of action and special effects to finish out this classic.
Very entertaining lighthearted, 80's horror movie that has a decent story and some very memorable lines/quotes to remember.
