One of the greatest directors of the 1980s, John Landis (The Blues Brothers, Trading Places), expertly combines macabre horror with dark humour in the lycanthropic classic, An American Werewolf in London.
American tourists David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne) are savaged by an unidentified vicious animal whilst hiking on the Yorkshire Moors. David awakes in a London hospital to find his friend dead and his life in disarray. Retiring to the home of a beautiful nurse (Jenny Agutter, Walkabout) to recuperate, he soon experiences disturbing changes to his mind and body, undergoing a full-moon transformation that will unleash terror on the streets of the capital...
An American Werewolf in London had audiences howling with laughter and recoiling in terror upon its cinema release. Landis’ film has gone on to become one of the most important horror films of its decade, rightly lauded for its masterful set-pieces, uniquely unsettling atmosphere and Rick Bakers’ ground-breaking, Oscar-winning special makeup effects. Now restored in 4K, and presented with an abundance of extra features, this big beast of horror can be devoured as never before...

Nice set!!
I have a love-hate relationship with Arrow of late, with their multiple releases of the same title - limited edition, steelbook limited edition, limited amray with slipcase, blah blah blah......really does smack of cashing in. BUT this release of AWIL is beautiful, more for Graham Humphries great artwork, really. The disc is full of new featurettes, interviews, etc, but the hook for me was that artwork. One gripe would be the back of the slipbox should have had a more eyecatching image........like the face of the werewolf with blood dripping mouth. As it is, the image on the back is boring and lazy, really. Still, a great set!

Awesome Set
One of my favourite Horror Movies of all time and the first Horror I ever saw so this holds a special place in my collection. Shame this isn't a 4K set but the transfer is Awesome and fully restored. Great sound quality and loads of interesting extra features. The artwork is amazing on the set. The box set also includes a Book, Postcards and a Poster. Arrow Video outdid themselves with this release and I cant wait to receive the Ribocop set in November too. Fast delivery and great price Zavvi, Thank you.
