A charismatic and likable lead, the film has charm and enthusiasm about it. The set pieces and make-up are all top-notch as well. I'd compare this almost to a Full Moon Feature, which some might take an insult (I like Full Moon), a b-movie, which is what this film felt like. The characters themselves aren't very well-developed, the relationships are fast-paced and unrealistic, and the acting itself lacks on an emotional basis. The charismatic and likable lead I mentioned earlier finds himself unequipped to tackle the severity of certain situations with the level of emotional prowess I think would've benefited the narrative, which I found very lacking.
An American Werewolf in London is a decent film, an entertaining, harmless affair that neither particularly excels nor fails.
Rating: 2.0 out of 5.0
