An American Werewolf in London (1981)

Dir- John Landis

Ever been on a trip to a foreign country and everyone is unfriendly. A little backpacking trip for two friends in the British Moors turns out to be a nightmare when both are brutally attacked by some crazed monster that is soon killed by concerned locals. With his friend dead, David recovers with the aid of a friendly nurse he befriends. He is then visited by his dead friend who warns him of terrible things to come. With the award-winning talents of Rick Baker, John Landis creates a frightening and on occasion funny werewolf movie. Griffin Dunne has a significant role as the ever-rotting friend of the werewolf-to-be in what has to be the coolest ghost on record. With its mix of classic horror, great FX, humor and some freaky dream sequences we have fun and entertaining play on the classic werewolf movie.
