laurieredpenfields The doctor says that David has been asleep (comatose, in my opinion) for three weeks. My question is: where are his parents? I'm a Mom and if an embassy official told me my kid was in the hospital overseas, I'd be on the first plane out of the country. Other than that, still as good and scary as when it was first released.

hellholehorror I would love to have grown up in America just so that I could watch this film from a true American perspective and truly appreciated it. I thought that it was a very good film but you could tell that it was an American writing because of the slightly alternate perspective on the English culture. This is a horror film with light comic undertones which I think were actually ahead of its time. The style is distinctly seventies even though it was made in the eighties. The story plays really well with solid progression and interesting sub-plots never taking attention away from the screen. Ignore the unbelievable elements and this is an amazing werewolf film. Probably the best werewolf film sandwiched between Ginger Snaps (2000) and The Howling (1981). I think that the light humour and interesting storytelling and some pertinent moments really make this a leader in the genre. I loved the detail of London conversely I hated the stuffy British people. The final scene was a climatic masterpiece probably never seen before or since to the same quality. It is not especially scary but I would still highly recommend this. Horrifically eerie, made me think that it could happen to me.

vishnu-dileep08 It all starts with two friends ending up in a village as they get dropped off somewhere close to London and they end up in a pub. So as they enter and they start having fun cracking jokes and all that then one of the guy noticed a star on the wall of the pub and decided to ask what it was about that's when everyone in the pub goes pin drop silence after this these two guys were sent out of the pub and was told to stay on the road. So while going back this boys thought those men in the pub were crazy or were they not????? Find this out by watching the movie This story was made really good with all the scares in the needed areas nothing was overdone.

thelastblogontheleft I first saw this movie as, well, probably TOO young of a child. What can I say? My parents didn't baby me as far as film went. I've since re-watched it maybe three times now and it just gets better every viewing. This movie is a goddamn CLASSIC and if you haven't seen it yet, go do so RIGHT NOW (it's on Amazon Prime!). It turned 35 this year so consider it a birthday present.As soon as it started up and "Blue Moon" came belting out (the first of a ridiculous number of moon-centric pop songs), I felt all nostalgic… and seeing David (played by David Naughton) and Jack (played by Griffin Dunne) in their matching puffy coats just drove it home.Ultimately it's just impressive how well this movie balances comedy and horror. The scary scenes can be downright terrifying — the sounds of the werewolf howling in the distance are some of the most chilling I've heard in ANY movie — and the comedy is clever and sharp. From the very first few scenes, we go from hilarious banter between the two to a truly haunting trek through the foggy British moors. It's a damn shame when Jack gets mauled by an unidentified wild beast, but thankfully we still see him later on, as witty as ever even with flaps of skin dangling from his torn open neck.You never know what emotion you're going to feel next, whether it's sharing in David's frustration over the law enforcement not believing his story or being surprised by how sexy it is to see his nurse, Alex (played by Jenny Agutter), feeding him while he gazes at her with those big brown doe eyes.The standout scene of the movie though is, by far, his transformation scene, thanks to Rick Baker. Set in a fully lit livingroom, you sit through almost 3 painfully uncomfortable minutes of his bones breaking and snapping into place, his hands and feet extending to a freakish length, and lots of sweating and body hair. Definitely one of my most vivid memories of watching the movie as a child (I'm surprised it didn't give me more nightmares), and just another example of how brilliantly the horrifying and hilarious are merged — he even manages to sneak in a joke in between pained screams, "I didn't mean to call you meatloaf, Jack!".Even the ending manages to be perfect. I won't spoil it for you, but… it's great. Just a joy from top to bottom! Supposedly the director, John Landis's, son, Max, is slated to do a remake. That is a high bar, though, even for a blood relative of the director!
