A good mix of comedy and horror in this 80's classic. The special effects hold up rather well. It's a movie that I think I would enjoy watching again. The love story is cute but could have been handled better. The relationship between the two friends, after the one, played by Griffin Dunne, dies is some of the most fun of the movie. I think if I had come to this movie at an earlier age I probable would have liked it a lot more. It's still good just not great.

It seems to be really easy to kill a werewolf, heck you could probably just hit’em with a helicopter A great 90 minutes of gags, gore and a whole lotta songs that mention the moon for some reason.

It's funny, clever, and like others said, one of the best blends of spooky horror and black comedy. I especially appreciated the amazing makeup and the wolf movement was so good I was surprised they didn't show more. Agutter was a babe. My only criticism of Naughton was that he looked too old for a college student. The pub scenes were a bit silly and I'm sure I'm missing something with all the Jewish references. Fav scenes: transformation in the apt; subway stalking; car mayhem in London

I enjoyed this quite a bit. The acting can be just a little wooden at times, and the ending is very abrupt. I guess those aren’t really complaints when one considers what kind of movie this is; a black comedy, and a really good one at that. The effects are insanely good for its time, the changing scenes are really uncomfortable to watch, the scary scenes are creepy, and the funny scenes are hilarious. I loved the relationship between David and the undead Jack. This is definitely worth seeing.

While the plot and characterization here aren't much to write home about, there's a wicked sense of humor (starting with the way-too-upbeat soundtrack) pervading this flick, in addition to some very strong special effects. I was entertained throughout, even though I'm not a horror fan. (Also wondering: whose body count was higher: the werewolf, or the British drivers?)

Despite the novel interpretations of the tropes, this doesn't succeed for me as a self-aware comedy-horror. The chemistry between Dunne and Naughton is the only fuel this film has to get going, and thankfully they're so charismatic and realistic together that it's more than enough, but when that relationship is cut short, the film lags tremendously. After that, it's a tumble towards an abrupt non-ending. It's entertaining when it tries to be, and the effects are fun.

It's alright. It comes and goes and it's enjoyable. I've heard about and seen clips of the transformation scene endlessly all my life, so seeing it in 2020 isn't as remarkable as it once was. But the gore was enjoyable, and I suspect the comedy bits with the undead influenced Beetlejuice which came 7 years later and perfected undead horror comedy.

I was very surprised at how well this held up, especially the practical effects. The horror worked perfectly and the music was great. The only problem I had was that, besides a couple laughs, I didn't think it was that funny, but I think it worked well enough without it.

The Godfather of werewolf movies. Great idea, well done from the actors and fantastic make-up. The transformation scene is still one of the best of its kind today.

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.
