Joe Williams

In a film full of werewolves and ghosts, the most fantastical element in 2024 is that a single person could afford rent in London on a nurses salary.

Ian Hunt

Watching getting triggered at the despicable criticism of our delightful and charming British police sirens. Sirens that say, “yes there’s an emergency, but let’s all just calm down and have a cup of tea”…

Jeff Norwood-Brown

Oh I’m so glad that you like this One of my all time favourites. Bit of trivia for you. The American Ambassador is Frank Oz (Bert, Cookie Monster from Sesame Street, Fozzie and Miss Piggy from the muppets), See You Next Wednesday is a film referenced in all of John Landis films, the two little girls with the dog are creepier than the twins in The Shining. Fact. Also it’s Rik Mayall’s first film appearance. Rik went on to be a massive comedy star in the UK and it’s worth watching everything he’s ever been involved in.

David Gallagher

I don't remember much from 9th grade English class. I remember that we watched and discussed this film. It makes an impression.

The wet bit of dangling flesh on Griffin Dunne’s neck is peak cinema.

Special Effects/Makeup wise, the focus is always on the transformation scene (fully deserves the respect it gets) but for me the craziest effect is Jacks slow decay. When he shows up in the hospital, it looks like you can literally see INTO his neck.

Stugotz

Wow you guys are taking the title of the movie way too seriously 😂

Dirge Girl

Tinting the colour from blood-red to pepto-pink to get past whatever censor-crap... old school solution. ^5

E. D.

You had a cool teacher then. I mean, usually some horror-ish flick is not the kind of movie you get to see in English class, I assume.

Twiska Brand

If you want another good werewolf movie, I subject Dog Soldiers.

Jeff K

I am going to pen a strongly-worded letter to the government about your lack of "Yoda" in your descriptors of Frank Oz. I said good day, sir! (And Rik Mayall: Drop Dead Fred himself!)

Pam Nail

John Landis, who directed this, also directed the music video for Michael Jackson's "Thriller." MJ was hugely inspired by this movie, and particularly wanted to do something like the transformation scene.

spotlight. competent people doing competent things. important, and awful.

Happy Hanukkah

Yes! I love Lon Chaney! By the way, now that we enjoyed Blue Moon, shouldn't we try Blue Velvet?

Monica Alarcon

Woah, I just noticed Rik Mayall in the credits!, I guess I don't recognized him unless he's dressed as Rick from The Young Ones or as a member of Bad Newz or as a crazy imaginary friend...

rictus grin

one of the few Frank Oz roles where he isn't puppeteering a muppet

rictus grin

yes wolves were hunted to extinction in the UK, there are some environmental groups trying to persuade the government to allow their reintroduction

rictus grin

you might enjoy the 1941 movie The Wolf Man

rictus grin

"see you next Wednesday" pops up in every John Landis movie

Chase Lonnergan

The best combination of Britain and werewolves would be in Dog Soldiers. Same director as The Descent. Must watch!

Deco

Gotta second the dog soldiers request

Light Movies

There was a series in the eighties called "Manimal" which used the same special practical effects. The main character could transofrm himself in every animal he wanted. Unfortunately, the costs were too high and they did only 8 episodes.

This was great! Just noticed for the first time that the cab driver was Brick Top (The gangster that had pigs eat corpses) from Snatch.

I am once again renewing my quest to get Ravenous on a poll (at least). Based on how much you liked this movie's blend of humor, horror and gore I think you'll really dig Ravenous. It's an under-appreciated gem of a movie with great performances, a unique blend of genres and a delightful score.

REDR58

For a fun, quick werewolf story, I recommend “Werewolf by Night” that you can watch on Disney+. Do the black-and-white version.

REDR58

Jenny Agutter is in some really interesting films (ones I’ve seen, at least), including “Walkabout” (1971), “Logan’s Run” (1976, a classic sci-fi movie) and “Equus” (1977). She is also in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (2014) as one of the Council members (who is actually Black Widow in disguise) captured by Robert Redford’s Alexander Pierce. She was also seen in the shadows in “The Avengers” in 2012 playing the same councilmember. It’s funny to me how you guys think that sex scene went on as long as it did. Sex scenes in a lot of movies seem so quick these days, if they are there at all. Seems it was different in the 1970s/80s. Rick Baker is a retired, very well known and respected special effects artist who had a multi-decade career working in all kinds of movies, everything from “The Exorcist” the first two Star Wars movies, Men in Black, Hellboy (2004), Tropic Thunder, and loads of others.

Obligatory: Warren Zevon's* Werewolves of London: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qae25976UgA (And segueing back to movies: The Color of Money (1986), The Hustler (1961), The Cincinnati Kid (1965).) * For those unfamiliar with him, "Zevon" is pronounced "Kid Rock."

Dazzler & Em

Agree, I know its on their list and can't wait to see their reactions as its a great film.

Dirge Girl

When David's in The Nurse's bathroom and he moves the mirror to reveal Corpse-Jack standing in the room with him... they use that in Shaun of the Dead with Pete.

HeyHeyJK

I've seen this films so many times over the years since it came out and, for as good as it is, I've still never fully liked David Naughton in the lead role. He's the one actor in the cast who was the weakest, for me anyways. For another great Griffin Dunne film, watch "After Hours", one of my favorite Martin Scorcese films and a comedy! Also, I live close to make-up artist extraordinaire Rick Baker and at Halloween, he usually puts on a fun show at his house to give out candy. He'll spend months coming up with the story and then make amazing masks and costumes and build a small set in his driveway. People line up down the block to see it. Follow his IG account @therickbaker to see some of it ,and the masks, etc., he still makes at home. If I see him walking around the 'hood in the future I'll tell him to watch your reaction to his transformation sequence (no guarantee, he'll do it, of course).

HeyHeyJK

Yeah, Edgar Wright, and I'm guessing Simon Pegg, as well, are big fans of this film.

Andrew Jackson (snabbk..)

There are no wolves, but there are cryptid sightings of big cats etc. and the Loch Ness Monster of course

Matt O'Keefe

David Naugjton was a decent actor in this but he was a pepper too. Nudge, nudge...
