An American Werewolf in London

Wow: It’s not often you get to see a monster movie directed by an actual monster! Yes, John Landis sucks and so does his son, but this movie stands tall beyond their continued crimes. From stunning practical effects to devastating character moments, this creature feature continues to be the apex predator of werewolf movies. Two friends hitchhiking across England find themselves hunted by versipellis, resulting in one shredded into fleshy bits and the other … changed. Rick Baker’s work on the transformation scene alone makes Alamo’s constantly rising ticket price worth it, as seeing that much fur and flesh on the big screen is a real experience. – James Scott
