Review

"'An American Werewolf in London' is one of the few horror films that explore the psychological effects of lycanthropy alongside the physical and the fallout. David's vivid dreams subsequent the attack are still startling and intense, and they're very bad omens that he will more than likely submit to the beast and lose his essence as a man. "An American Werewolf in London" has every chance to be cheap and exploitative and prefers instead to create a very heartfelt and terrifying vision of a man becoming a werewolf, and to this day there's yet to be a horror film that touches on the curse with superior aptitude." - Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
