Pretty Good

People are voting emotionally.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Not your average werewolf movie - this is much better than that. Decent plot, though not overly original. No, what sets this apart is the humour and the A-grade production and performances.There's hints of the comedy aspect early on, but those are mostly just witty dialogue and you think it is just the usual banter of young people. It is only once David is in hospital that you realise that this is almost as much a comedy as a drama. The bumbling detective, the appearance of his dead friend (on a few occasions) and their discussions, some of the other scenes. Wherever possible, writer-director John Landis throws in some humour.Production is also very good. Werewolf movies are often B-grade (at best) efforts and this is far better than that.Good cast too. Solid performance by David Naughton in the lead role, as well as from Jenny Agutter.

One of John Landis's best, this movie stays with you over the years, and the special effects aren't at all dated nearly 40 years on. Jenny Agutter really steams the bathroom screen in the obligatory sex scene, and one can only wish the scene lasted longer.The London tube scenes are effective, and really make you think twice about being in the tube all alone just in case.

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. I felt the movie got over really fast as I needed more to it.I would recommend this movie to anyone I know.Notable ActingDavid Naughton Jenny Agutter famous for her acting in movies like The Avengers and Captain AmericaGriffin Dunne famous for his acting Dallas buyers clubJohn Woodvine My Rating 9/10

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!
