Taking an extremely basic idea & making the most of it, it presents some interesting lore & features solid performances by its three leads, as well as some enjoyable effects that have made for a couple iconic images over the years. Though, for its positives, it's still far from perfect- the darkly comedic tone doesn't always work, the central romance feels hollow, & the ending is extremely abrupt. It's definitely worth a look & remains a classic for a reason, but has its flaws.

Worth it for the transformation scene alone, but far from the only good thing about this movie.

The whole thing is seemingly played for goofs, and nothing about it should work, but strangely enough, it does and is - for the most part - totally fun and awesome. Surprisingly, the scene where he goes on a rampage for the first time didn't thrill me so much, but it makes up for it with a pretty sweet climax and ooh, I guess I'll just cut to black right here, said no editor ever.

Inventive throwback with award winning effects by Baker that are still impressive, especially the infamous transformation sequence. The opening act in the English countryside is tremendously effective; the desolate fog drenched moors are the perfect scene setter, and the tourists' encounters with hostile locals is just as intense, but the film suffers from wobbly performances and Landis' refusal to explore the psychological depth of his characters suggested in his screenplay.

+ Impressive effects for the time (all practical & on camera obviously). + Good tongue in cheek score. +Humorous scenes & dialogue - NOT scary. - Dated in look, style, tone. ___________________________ ___________ Deserves 88%+ on its own terms (can't think of another film that does this type of thing better) but early 80s campy horror-comedy blend is simply not really to my taste -> 74% score
