So here we have this awesome early 1980′s movie about werewolves in London. Sounds bad, right? Absolutely not!

It starts with two guys that are best friends, back-packing through the English countryside with plans to head off to different parts of Europe later on. On a cold night rocking a full moon, they quickly take shelter in a Pub/Inn in a tiny village. As soon as they walk in, they realize that they’ve walked into either something weird or straight up trouble. The music stops, all the people in there are just staring at them like they’re some sort of freaks from another planet, but they sit down to drink some tea and hopefully get something to eat when they notice a pentagram on the wall with candles, etc. One of the guys is uncomfortable with the idea of asking everyone why the pentagram is on the wall, but his friend asks anyway, only to be greeted with pure silence and stares again.

That’s when they’re told that there’s some evil shit going down around the neighborhood and they should take their backpacks and fuck off somewhere, but STAY ON THE PATH and don’t look at the moon or whatever. So they leave but of course being young, stupid, and American, they don’t pay attention to anything and also they GO OFF THE PATH. This leads to all sorts of fuckery because it seems like one little toe on the grass next to the path creates all sorts of chaos, which is exactly what they get! At this point, out of nowhere comes this man-beast thing that completely tears up one guy, leaving him all scratched up and mangled like a pretzel. The other guy (David) freaks out and runs off but then realizes he should go back for his friend. I know that’s the “noble” thing to do, but if my friend’s getting torn up by some evil werewolf beast, I don’t think I’m going to stay and fight this thing with my bare hands, fuck no. Sorry dude, you’re on your own. Anyway, David runs back, the werewolf is gone but then he appears and scratches him up, biting him, etc until the local guys from the Inn show up and blast the werewolf with their shotguns, putting an end to this shit.

David wakes up in the hospital with this hot nurse there by his side, and they quickly hit it off and you can tell right away that David wants to bang this chick so bad (at least that’s how I would feel). But then he starts to see shit, basically his friend keeps showing up as a ghost that only appears to David and he’s all torn up like when he died which completely freaks him out and everyone around him thinks he’s bat-shit crazy insane. Once he starts feeling better, it’s time for him to leave the hospital but of course instead of just wandering through the streets, the hot nurse offers for him to stay at her house.  And have sex too. His friend shows up at her house too, telling David that he’s now a werewolf because he’s been bitten and that he should just kill himself before he starts killing random people when the moon becomes full. The moon is full that night and David is chilling in the nurse’s house while she’s at work when he starts to feel like shit.

This is when some dope 60′s music comes on and David starts convulsing, falling on the floor and freaking out, kinda like giving birth I guess. Before all this CGI crap we see in movies, they had stop motion or whatever was used in this sequence, and it’s pretty fucking cool. We see him transform into a full-fledged werewolf! This is also the start of my favorite part of the movie – he goes on a killing rampage that night, eating up a bunch of locals, including this one random dude that’s coming home from work, just getting off the subway. Besides all the screaming, I’m sure he was probably saying “Dear ‘ol chap, care for some tea? Oh no, I just shite myself”. David’s going crazy and ripping people apart with some cool creepy/gory kill scenes.

As you can guess, this kind of shit goes back and forth for a bit where he’s killing or transforming and not realizing at first that he’s a werewolf, meanwhile he’s still got that hot British nurse that he’s banging. Basically it comes down to a hilarious end sequence where regular citizens are getting killed in horrid car accidents and mass hysteria ensues, with the final scene being David as a werewolf in an alley getting his head blown off right in front of the hot nurse. Sucks to be bitten, I guess.

Dope movie, highly recommended. Here’s the trailer:
