Still Funny & Frightening After All These Years, 9 November 2005

Here's a film that never fails to entertain, year after year. It's
almost a quarter of a century old but hasn't become dated and the
special effects, which were astounding in its day, are still good.
Director John Landis is so good at making entertaining movies. This is
one of his best.
The appeal to this film is the combination of horror, suspense, action
and humor. The latter actually is the key ingredient because this can
become a downright scary movie. The levity here and there is welcome
relief. There is just the right amount of contrast between horror and
comedy.
For parents wanting to know, there also is a fair amount of rough
language and there two sex scenes, one as part of the story and one "on
screen" in a porn- movie theater where the two male leads meet late in
the story.
Jenny Agutter is the love interest in here, a very pretty woman whom
Americans audiences aren't that familiar with. It isn't just her:
neither of the two leading (American) male actors in this popular movie
ever became stars, either.
An entertaining but silly sequel came out almost two decades later, "An
American Werewolf in Paris." I own both movies but much prefer this
one.
