Movie synopsis

In John Landis' (THE BLUES BROTHERS, ANIMAL HOUSE) dripping black comedy, two American students (David Naughton and Griffin Dunne) on a European vacation wander into a creepy local pub in Northern England and are quickly thrown out. Stranded and alone in the dark countryside, the pair get lost in their search for warm lodging. Little do they know that they are about to be changed forever by an ancient terror as they walk along the moors on a moonlit night. Only one of the students survives a deadly attack by a supernatural beast--at least he thinks he survived, until the next full moon rolls around. Terrific makeup effects (by Oscar winner Rick Baker), clever editing, and raunchy tongue-in-cheek humor made this suspenseful and thrilling horror effort an instant classic.

Movie trailer and editorial reviews

"...A clever mixture of comedy and horror....Redolent with sharp dialog and offbeat humor..."
Variety - Cart. (08/19/1981)

"...Landis is...serious about making this a horror film that packs a wallop..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (08/12/1981)

"John Landis' giddy, gory 1981 horror comedy remains the lycanthropic gold standard." -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly - Chris Nashawaty (09/11/2009)

Classic film, the best of the year 1981, I've seen it many times, but first time owning it, scary and funny as well, if you've never seen it, then you must be living under a huge rock. 5 stars all the way!

un incontournable

Created: 10/02/11
Le loup-garou de Londres, petit bijou d’horreur et d’humour noir, s’inscrit indéniablement au panthéon des classiques du genre, à l'instar d'un Re-animator ou d'un Braindead, en beaucoup moins trash cela dit. Nous sommes donc dans l’énième degré et le renouvellement d’un genre. Les deux perles citées plus haut s'en prenaient au mythe du mort-vivant, ici, c'est celui du loup-garou qui en prend un coup, ou plutôt, retrouve une seconde jeunesse. Et sous les traits du jeune David Naughton (alias David Kessler), sous la houlette de John Landis, c’est pour le moins réussi. Tout d’abord, niveau esthétique et visuel, nous sommes dans le haut de gamme, en attestent les transformations et effets spéciaux "old school" impressionnants, mais c’est surtout au niveau de l’ambiance que tout se joue. Esprit "so british" oblige, l’univers du loup-garou de Londres est a part : horreur, thriller, merveilleux, comédie noire, on passe sans mal par tous les genres, ce qui donne au film un véritable cachet, ce loup-garou ne ressemblant à aucun autre. En résulte aussi des séquences d’anthologie, audacieuses et bien barrées. Impossible de résister, par exemple, à la transformation sensationnelle de David, à la scène du cinéma (peut-être la plus mémorable), de l’hôpital, avec Jack le zombie, ou encore celle du parc… Au final, Le loup-garou de Londres est un vrai grand moment de cinéma : drôle, unique et instantanément culte (Réf. Tucker)

David Naughton, Jenny Agutter and Griffin Dunne star
in this 1981 John Landis Horror film. A young man
is cursed with the mark of the beast after he and
his pal are attacked. David and Jenny have good
chemistry and Rick Baker did an amazing job as
usual with the make-up effects. This dvd set has
nice picture and sound plus cool extras. Get
this terrific werewolf flick.

A very funny movie with a great sound score of music. It nearly never gets shown on TV, they mostly show the dud sequel, An American Werewolf in Paris.
