   In my opinion, this is truly the best werewolf-themed movie of all time, effortlessly combining horror with comedy and presenting a transformation sequence which will probably never be matched. Also the background filler songs, all referencing the moon adds to the treat that this is. The mood of the film bounces up and down like a biorhythm chart, with the extreme highs counterbalanced with the terrifying lows. Perhaps, to nitpick, a few things I didn't like about it include the bumbling law enforcers, and during the final transformation sequence, when David/"David" stares at his hand as it elongates - which actually became one of the iconic images people tend to use when referencing this movie. Otherwise, this is a modern classic. My favorite moments are those when "Jack" makes his visionary appearances, each one in a further state of decay. Place this on your bucket list - it's a must-see.… Expand

   En voyant que le réalisateur se nomme John Landis, il ne fallait pas vraiment s'attendre à un véritable film d'épouvante. Bon, il y a bien une certaine ambiance dans la première partie, dans les landes brumeuses. Mais à aucune moment le film ne fait illusion sur le but d'effrayer le specateur. Cela marchait peut-être l'époque, je ne le nie pas. Mais aujourd'hui... Tout ça pour dire que ce Loup-Garou de Londres a pris un sacré coup de vieux! Sinon, nous avons affaire à une histoire de loup-garou en plus, mais qui est tout de même sauvé par deux choses. A commencer par son degré (que l'on pouvait attendre de Landis), assez rigolo (la scène de "réunion" au cinéma porno). Et puis surtout les maquillages, tout simplement bluffant et superbement réalisés, surtout pour l'époque! Justement, en t repensant, Le Loup-Garou de Loup ne serait-il pas une sorte de "prolongation" au clip Thriller? On pourrait le voir comme ça.… Expand

   It is an old school film that was unsure of it`s self. The horror was not scary although there is artistry present during the transformation scene and many of the scenes where you see Jack back from the dead. I found the odd moment funny but much of the over the top humor did not work for me. don`t even get me started about the ending.… Expand
