5 out of 5 stars A classic   August 25, 2010

This is a great movie to own, because it's enjoyable watching over and over.

The spoecial effects are astounding, especially for the time, and it has a bit of good humor thrown in at times. I especially enjoyed the pair of cops from Scottland Yard: the seasoned veteran with no patience for things he doesn't understand, and hios bumbling side-kick.

There's also a variety of "real" characters. Most are total unknowns, and all the Brits are definitly natives. I didn't hear a single immitation accent, or imposter posing as a local.

Released at the same time as "Cat People", "Prophesy", and "Wolfen", this movie has outlived all of them. Thirty years after the original release it is still worth watching.

Soundtrack on BluRay is superb, and the conversion from DVD to BluRay was well done and produces a sharp image.



4 out of 5 stars Great Amazon price, worthwhile new features   August 14, 2010

I doubt anyone reading this is looking for a plot summary or a discussion of how Rick Baker's effects made cinematic history. You're here to read about the new material on this disc.

The "Beware the Moon" feature IS worth the purchase price alone. Running 90 minutes, it discusses key scenes of the film in their running order, so it's almost like a video commentary. It includes funny and fascinating behind-the-scenes anecdotes, as well as tons of "unused footage." I have to say, some of the test shots of the werewolf under construction stalking around the set look even creepier than the finished product.

The only other new feature, "I Walked with a Werewolf" with Rick Baker, would have been more enjoyable if they didn't drown out his very soft baritone with needlessly dramatic and very intrusive music. You have to really strain to hear what he's saying, the music completely overwhelms him. Someone needs more experience on the mixing board.

The film transfer looks good, if a little grainy, but the sound is crisp and clean. My only other complaint is with the disc menus. It's not that big a deal, but I appreciate when disc menus are somewhat in keeping with the feel of a movie. "Werewolf," unfortunately, uses the same Star Trek-type spaceship interface that worked very well on "Serenity." Here it's just distracting and makes it seem like the disc was slapped together.

Still, can't beat such a great movie at such a great price. A worthwhile double dip!

I really enjoyed seeing this movie again, it's one of my favorites from when I was young. However, I don't know if it is worth the price difference to buy old movies in Blueray.


5 out of 5 stars AAOOOH Werewolves of London!!   December 29, 2009

I saw this movie in the theaters back in 1981 and was so happy to see Rick Baker win the first Oscar for best special effects make up! That whole transformation scene is classic and very impressive. It is both amusing and painful to watch. The wolf in this movie makes me feel real terror and fear. There are several scenes in London that make me grimace and tense up, even though I have seen this before. I bought this on BluRay disc because this movie needs to be seen in HD. I have always been a fan of all types of horror. There are very few movies that can mix humor with horror well for me to recommend but London does. It will always be on my list of best horror films. This is a much, much, much, better film than An American Werewolf in Paris. Get this movie either on DVD or BluRay, you won't be sorry!! ( I just have to ask myself, the ones that gave it one or two stars, are they even old enough to appreciate this movie?)
