My first submition, so be kind ;), after a couple of viewing years...
Well, anyways I've used Movietyme a few times now and stumbled across this beauty of a film. It's region free so no worries about playing it on your UK PS3, etc.
Hopefully it'll be a good transfer as this was a good film the last time I watched it. If you can find it cheaper, many apologies but it's not yet released here in the UK.


While wandering the English moors on vacation, college yanks David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne) happen upon a quaint pub with a mysterious patronage who warn them not to leave the road when walking after dark. Irreverent of such advice as characters in horror films always are, the two decide to find a short cut....David wakes up in the hospital with a nasty bite wound to his shoulder; the freshly deceased, and rapidly decomposing, Jack arrives soon after to deliver the grim news that, unless he commits suicide, David will become a werewolf when the moon is full. David dismisses the encounter as a hallucination, but all indicators point to lycanthrope; evenings of barking and bloodletting follow closely behind. While the story is thin and much of the tongue-in-cheek humor is overdone, there are plenty of genuine jolts thanks to makeup guru Rick Baker's eye-popping special effects. The werewolf, resembling a cross between a bear and a wolverine, appears frighteningly real, and, given the fantastic premise, the gore is most convincing (although surprisingly and refreshingly scant). The hospital dream sequences are creative, and the scenes in which the werewolf runs rampant through downtown London are particularly good. In all, An American Werewolf in London is an original, atmospheric film that manages both to scare and amuse. While dismissed by most American critics upon its release, the film managed to secure a place in the annals of American cinema when Baker won an Academy Award for his amazing effects and creature designs.

Great price for this, I didn't realise it was region free! Why the cold votes?

The transfer is supposed to be stunning and far better than the HD-DVD transfer (that I also own!)

Keep a eye out as MT e-mail £1 vouchers... I have the UK disc on order, will wait for that. Looking forward to it - a true horror classic.

I see a bad moon rising. I see bad reviews on picture quality. Don't go down the shops. It's a bound to take your cash, there's a bad disk on the rise.

Ah, a play on the classic song for comedy purposes. Inspired by average review on http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/An-Ame...ay-Review/987/
