An American Werewolf In London
I´m not really into werewolves or vampire movies and An American Werewolf in London is pretty much the only one I like.
We follow the likable American David, who is on a hiking vacation in the UK with his friend Jack. After being attacked by a mysterious creature, Jack dies and David wakes up at a hospital. After a couple of nights he gets a visit from Jack, who tells him what happened and urges him to kill himself so he can rest in peace and prevent David from hurting others but David doesn´t believe him and thinks he´s having hallucinations. He ends up at his nurse home, Alex, whom he has a crush on (as so does she on him) and all things go wild when he´s left alone at the house on the first full moon after the attack.
The movie is hilarious and creepy. It´s gory but not too much so it doesn´t get overwhelming and it´s quite dark humored.
The scene where David first turns into a werewolf it´s awesome and the second one at the porn cinema is hilarious. Actually, the whole scene at the porn cinema, with Jack´s final visit and David´s 6 victims, is hilarious. And you do feel sorry about David at the end for he is indeed a likable character.
The only thing I regret is not enough Jack. He should have appeared more often. Awesome performances, set and photography and a cool soundtrack. An absolute classic.
