Probably one of the best Horror Movies ever. The Combination of Comedy with a great sense of british humor and gory horror scenes became legendary and were copied a hundreds of times afterwards. Rick Baker, as the Make up Artist created brand new technics for this movie wich also became legendary. The naturalistic acting and the true pictures of that movie gave him a very truthfull look, everything is very believable. The timing of all the scenes is amazing. Well at this time, Landis was on his zenit after directing Movies like animal house and The Blues Brothers. Later he returned to pure comedy in Trading Places and Coming to America. He tried to do a horror movie in the early ninetys with "Innocent Blood" with also great Make up, comedy and very bloody scenes, but the movie never hit the lightness and the genius of "An American Werewolf in London".
