American Werewolf in London, An (1981, USA) C-97m. *** D: John Landis. Starring David Naughton, Jenny Agutter, Griffin Dunne, John Woodvine, Brian Glover, John Landis. Two American tourists travelling through Scotland are attacked by a werewolf one night. One of them dies, the other (Naughton) is brought to a London hospital. He eventually moves in with nurse Agutter, but must learn that he is now a werewolf and his transformation is pending. Effective, well-directed horror movie manages to be both funny and serious, and quite violent, too. A cult hit. Rick Baker won an Oscar for his good, bloody effects. Score by Elmer Bernstein. Followed by a loosely related sequel in 1997.
