An American Werewolf in London

Arrow did a real great job transfer this to 4k. havent seen this in some years. i remember one of the 2 friends getting killed, but comes back as a ghost to warn his living friend who will transfer to a werewolf

Few horror films strike the perfect balance between terror and comedy quite like An American Werewolf in London (1981). John Landis' genre-blending masterpiece delivers on all fronts—sharp humor, bone-chilling horror, and groundbreaking practical effects that still hold up over 40 years later. Rick Baker's Academy Award-winning werewolf transformation remains one of the most impressive practical effects sequences in cinema history. Watching David Naughton's character undergo a painfully realistic metamorphosis—bones snapping, muscles stretching, skin contorting—is both mesmerizing and horrifying. Beyond the legendary effects, the film's darkly comedic tone is one of its greatest strengths. Griffin Dunne's sarcastic and decaying Jack provides some of the funniest (and most unsettling) moments, ensuring that even in its grimmest scenes, the film never takes itself too seriously. The soundtrack is equally brilliant, with every song referencing the moon in a cheeky yet fitting way. The 4k Blu-ray presentation is a revelation—crisp, detailed, and beautifully restored. The sound mix enhances both the eerie atmosphere and the punchy dialogue, making it an absolute must-own for fans. Funny, frightening, and fantastically made, An American Werewolf in London is a genre classic that still howls louder than most modern horror films.

An American Werewolf in London is a classic horror movie mixed with some humor. The werewolf transformation scenes are still great to this day. Arrow Video's 4K release offers a stunning native 4K restoration with Dolby Vision enhancing colors and detail. Some grain persists, which is to be expected. The audio is well handled with a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track, delivering immersive sound, alongside an original mono option for those that want to experience it that way. Special features are robust, including two audio commentaries, feature-length documentaries like Mark of the Beast, and interviews with Landis and Baker. It's a definitive upgrade for fans of this horror classic.

arrow Mr Big opportunity here to make this a deluxe chunky box instead of just the regular Amory case

Easily one of the greatest werewolf movies ever made. The transformation sequence still works and the prewar focal effects still make you squirm along with some great dark comedy mixed in with the horror. Highly recommended. (Associate)

One of my all-time favorite movies. The transfer is very good and the audio track is phenomenal. I'm really excited to dive into the special features next.

One of the best werewolf movies comes to 4k. Of course, the original 1941 Wolf Man is still the best werewolf movie 😁. This film looks outstanding though! Great release by Arrow!

This movie is a classic and this Arrow Video 4KUHD release looks and sounds great with a huge amount of special features. Arrow did an excellent job with the AV restoration and it includes lots of new and old special features and commentaries. Walmart had this item at an unbeatable price at the time I ordered it! I have no idea why it was so much cheaper here than anywhere else but I'm happy I got it! It was packaged and shipped well and had no damage. Note - This is the standard version, not the limited edition release with the hardbox/slip cover, poster, cards, etc but the actual movie box and reversible cover art and special features are the same as that limited edition, just none of the extra collectibles.

great quality and classic movie

Arrow pretty much kills with this one. Wonderful slate of extras (both new and legacy), and far and away the best the movie has ever looked/sounded on a home-video format. Still a great flick, balancing horror and humor in a way most similar efforts strain to achieve. Rick Baker's effects are aces.
