In 1981 I saw a movie that was jaw dropping brilliant. That was of course AAWIL. Seeing the wolf transformation was so unforgettable. Yes CGI is all the rage today but come this movie to me would suffer if it were made today with CGI. To me CGI yes looks great however there is something very raw and real when you see a movie that is from the pre CGI era.
If you have never seen this movie I beg you to watch it. If you loved to be scared then buy this movie. The extra are great as well. What is nice is the audio commentary from the 2 male leads. They are of course David Naughton & Griffen Dunne. Because it was over 25 years since they made the movie we hear the actor talk about the movie with a ton of prospective. Its nice to hear about how fans react to them all these years later. Now I am sure Hollywood will remake this (An American Werewolf in Paris Doesn't Count). I hope they don't. You can not improve on the story. In fact this was the first horror that had humor in it. If they made this today it would be a $100,000,000 CGI infected PG-13 safe movie. This movie was Rated "R" and a remake should be as well. If they do remake it stay away from CGI great film makers don't need it!
