An American Werewolf In Paris [DVD]

Amazon.com On the strength of his Hitchcockian-thriller debut, Mute Witness, writer-director Anthony Waller was hired to direct this belated sequel to the 1981 horror comedy An American Werewolf in London, but lycanthropy in the City of Light just ain't what it used to be. The movie offers plenty of gruesome makeup and special wolf-transformation effects, and there are some effectively spooky moments in the plot involving an underground population of hungry Parisian werewolves. One of them is seductively played by Julie Delpy, who is rescued from attempted suicide by an American tourist (Tom Everett Scott, from That Thing You Do!) but ultimately can't hide her dual identity when darkness falls and the full moon shines. The movie begins well, but gradually succumbs to nonsense and mayhem, prompting critic Roger Ebert to observe that "here are people we don't care about, doing things they don't understand, in a movie without any rules." In other words, you'd have to be a die-hard horror buff to give this one the benefit of the doubt. --Jeff Shannon Product Description This is a remake/sequal of John Landis' 1981 film, American Werewolf In London. Apart from a slight shift in geography, the idea is somewhat the same: An American student traveling in Europe gets bitten by a wolf. He mistakes it for a large dog, until the light of the full moon puts him through some nasty metamorphosis. The new twist you might ask, is that his lovely paramour, a Parisian named Serafine, who is a werewolf too, quite possibly the same wolf who bit our hero, so if he wants to become fully human again, he's gonna have to kill her. Starring Tom Everett Scott. Running time: 98 minutes.
