Hello listeners, Join us this week as we continue our Thriller oscars with a cult classic Horror/Thriller/ Comedy film from 1981 An American Werewolf In London by director John Landis. This was a…
Man.
You want to talk about a film that fucking stands the test of time.
It is incredible just how well this film holds up.
I can't say that I know a whole lot about this movie because when growing up, I never actually watched this film.
It wasn't actually until...
I think it was this year.
I think earlier this year was the first time, maybe, maybe late last year was the first time I ever saw this movie.
You know, this is one of those that is like a cult fucking following people fucking still love it from, you know, 81 to now.
And it's just great.
It's really good.
And, you know, the first time I saw it, I was like,
man,
How have I not fucking seen this? You know, and I guess it comes down to the thing of I'm not a huge werewolf movie guy.
It's just...
It's just kind of one of those that just kind of goes over top of me.
Like that and vampires.
Yeah, I quite
like a good vampire flick, even.
werewolf flicks I think are a lot harder to do and they're a lot harder to make good because the wolf will make or break a film and there's some that have like you go back to the wolf man you know the universal where Lon Chaney Jr and I'm sure at the time it looked really freaky, but now it does just look like a guy with fur stuck to his face.
Still
effective in a way, but it doesn't look great.
Then you've got the likes of The Howling, where it's people in a suit.
Dog Soldiers probably to this day, I think, have got maybe the most effective looking werewolves on screen with just the way they designed it and the actual grown men in a suit.
And then there's the one that you and I fucking hate, brother, which is CG fucking eye, which unfortunately a lot of werewolf films nowadays are.
