AKA The American Werewolf."The wolfs bloodline must be severed."
Two American students, David and Jack (David Naughton and Griffin Dunne) get stranded on the Yorkshire moors, whilst touring Europe. There they are attacked by a werewolf with Jack being killed. David is taken to and recovers in London, but is plagued by nightmares based on the attack and being a wolf hunting through London. He moves in with his nurse, Alex (Jenny Agutter) as she tries to help him overcome the trauma, but then Jack starts appearing demanding he kill himself, explaining that he has become a werewolf and all that David kills are cursed to walk the earth until he dies!
A supurb makeover of the werewolf story, This has it all, as long as you are looking for a wolfman with added gore and black comedy. This helped reinvent the horror genre at the time and still looks as fresh today as it did at the time.
