NEW UK/US/CA TITLE: An American Werewolf in London (Blu-ray)

Release date: October 28th, 2019

One of the most important horror films of its decade, rightly lauded for its masterful set-pieces, uniquely unsettling atmosphere and Rick Bakers’ truly ground-breaking, Oscar-winning special makeup effects.

"One of the greatest directors of the 1980s, John Landis (The Blues Brothers, Trading Places), expertly combines macabre horror with dark humour in the lycanthropic classic, An American Werewolf in London.

American tourists David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne) are savaged by an unidentified vicious animal whilst hiking on the Yorkshire Moors. David awakes in a London hospital to find his friend dead and his life in disarray. Retiring to the home of a beautiful nurse (Jenny Agutter, Walkabout) to recuperate, he soon experiences disturbing changes to his mind and body, undergoing a full-moon transformation that will unleash terror on the streets of the capital...

An American Werewolf in London had audiences howling with laughter and recoiling in terror upon its cinema release. Landis’ film has gone on to become one of the most important horror films of its decade, rightly lauded for its masterful set-pieces, uniquely unsettling atmosphere and Rick Bakers’ truly ground-breaking, Oscar-winning special makeup effects. Now restored in 4K, and presented with an abundance of extra features, this big beast of horror can be devoured as never before..."

i never buy Scream titles that are absolutely certain to get a UK release at some point. when you have a back log of over a hundred titles to watch the waiting game is not very difficult

And I actually like that original art, and great tagline about Animal House.

Great release for those who don’t have Nightbreed, but a critics commentary (that i’d only ever listen to once, if even that) and 2 critics interviews aren’t enough to make me swap my US release.

All over American Werewolf though.

Bit disappointed that Arrow's Nightbreed won't have the longer Cabal cut.
