4.4/5ARCHITECT "LEEANNA"97 minQuick Hit
An American Werewolf in London hits like a hairy creature feature—funny, bloody, and leaves a bad taste on purpose.
Full Take
An American Werewolf in London leans hard into werewolf horror energy, and John Landis keeps the tone funny without letting the movie drift. It knows its lane and drives straight into the dark with style, control, and just enough mean streak. Not flawless, but the swing is worth it.

This one actually worked for me.
There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
solid 👍
I’m in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didn’t fully connect.
Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.
