AN AMERICAN WERWOLF IN LONDON 1981 | FIRST TIME WATCHING REACTION VIDEO | How did they do that?!?! 

You're lack of understanding of films in the 80's and Cinema in general is on greater display than the film you are watching. You find it all so quaint and amusing, more concerned with being superior to the material than in even attempting to understand it. It doesn't matter if you like it or not, the value of a reaction is engagement, which is something you never even attempted.

Interesting side point. If someone wanted to watch porn in 1981, porn theaters like that were literally the only way to do that. There were no cell phones, no Internet, no DVD players or VCR yet, no cable, no on demand. And I was born around that time, but I'm reasonably sure no woman ever set foot in those theaters. Would you wanna park yourself in the middle of a bunch of horny guys and start watching? I imagine most women wouldn't. And I'm not sure it would be a good idea either.

12:22....He didn't sneak out of the hospital, dear. He's having nightmares about killing and eating animals. It's the werewolf inside him.

This movie scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. Wasn't quite old enough to grasp its humorous aspects (wasn't old enough to watch it, period), but was a good time. Fun fact if you don't know... Michael Jackson saw this and contacted the director, John Landis, to have him direct his music video, 'Thriller.' He even got the makeup artist, Rick Baker, to do the makeup. The special effects wowed us all, back then. Still pretty impressive, given it was all practical. Fun reaction, thanks!

I always smile when Rik Mayall makes his appearance. Lovely Easter egg,

Its great have a british person give perspective on films set in england , giving us the background and accuracy good job look forward to more videos another movie more recent is a Romantic Comedy called ABOUT TIME set in england/London would love to see you watch that

The outside of the "Slaughtered Lamb" was filmed in mid-Wales in a village called Crickadarn. The inside was filmed in a real pub in southern England.

So, now we should know why we shouldn't read the movie's synopsis. Because at times it does spoil the whole dang movie in 30 seconds.

Fun facts: Before this David's was known for being the *Dr Pepper* guy! -The man from the American embassy was played by Frank OZ, aka one half of the OG Muppets. -Rick Baker did the wolf effects. He tried to get Rob Bottin to help him but he was already working on his own werewolf film "The HOWLING". So we had *two* great werewolf films that year!

You have got to watch The Howling. Straight up horror, no comedy. Rick Baker did the creature FX for both films.

18:03 Saucy? 🤔This is actually pretty demure for an 80s film. On the contrary, films have become noticeably more prudish since then. 🙂

Hi there I’m pleased you managed to view this classic film, it’s a great horror/ comedy but I think it’s a film that back then couldn’t decide on whether it should be a horror or a comedy as the beginning of the film was quite tense. I’m sure you would agree the effects for 1981 were pretty amazing and deserve some credit. I certainly agree with you with CGI these days, as it looks pretty fake depending on how much is used. Again thanks for your thoughts on American werewolf in London. 😊

Watch The Wolfman with Benicio del Toro and Anthony Hopkins, compare 2010 cgi transformation to 1981 transformation.

And let's not forget Rik Mayall in a horror movie. Think this is his first movie appearance, not surprising its in the pub

This movie is a cult classic. It won an award for the special effects ! xx

A young Rik Mayall can be spotted in the Pub scene...a year away from fame❤️👍🎩

Best werewolf movie: American Werewolf in London Best Vampire movie: Interview with the Vampire (1994)

Jenny Agutter is my all time favorite.

If you like comedy werewolf horror, you'd probably like the Ginger Snaps trilogy

P.F. when his blue monster face flashed on nurse Price in the forest dream. 😂😂😂😂😏

There’s no accounting for good taste.

"In the phonebooth?" 😂

14:40 Double nightmares are the worst. When you think you've woken up.

Awesome! You need a Patreon for full length reactions!

White chicks unrated version would be a good reaction.

Awesome reaction. Goat film, practical make up at its finest😊

Is that for other people who want to watch the film side by side along with me????

Here’s an idea: Don’t read the bloody synopsis BEFORE you watch the movie.

Your opinion of how basic the sfx were going to be and knowing the reality of what was to come...😂🎩

Hahah the Professor Lubin transformation is the best ever. VFX artist here. I think you need to go watch Harry Potter again. You're remembering it from your childhood. The Lupin transformation is really very bad. We laughed at how bad it was when we did s studio screening.

Did you notice Rik mayall

WTF just WTF.

Fantastic reaction! You had me laughing all the way through!😊

There used to be a lot more sex cinemas in those days..mor so a friend told me🎩

Fantastic reaction!😁 Like the other comment mention you need patreon ha! Anyway Cheers!

You are right about the acting being stiff but Robert DeNiro won an oscar in 1981 for his performance in Raging Bull (1980) and his acting in that is considered one of the best performances of all-time, not all acting in the early 80`s was stiff and acting now is really poor on average anyway.

Can you please react to Stigmata Starring Patricia Arquette Please 😊

I can't be certain but it appears that your TV or however you are watching this films has "Motion Smoothing" turned on. It can be a bit confusing because every TV manufacturer has a different name for it. It usually comes turned on by default. It has the unfortunate side effect of making films look like old episodes of "The Eastenders." While "Motion Smoothing" looks great when watching soap operas or sporting events, it makes films look awful. You should investigator this and see about turning it off. Here's an informative PSA that Tom Cruise made on the subject. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1J0Dan0WaZk.html

You talk way too much. You also comment so much that you miss key parts of the story. Maybe if you just shut your trap and listen to the story, you wouldn’t be confused. I’m sure that there’s hospitals in northern England, the only problem is David was an American. He and his friend, Jack were attacked & brutally murdered. The United States Embassy is in London. So once David was cleaned up & once David was stable & was able to be moved, they transported him to London. Where the U.S embassy was. There David laid in a bed for about three weeks, unconscious & recovering. All that was explained very well by David’s Doctor. You just didn’t hear it because you’re too busy making little quips & jokes. If this movie was made today, it would be complete dog shit. Movies today suck and for you to sit there and say that they’re better, let me know that you have no idea what you’re talking about.

I'm sorry this review saddened me. I'm so glad I brought my daughter up watching horror. It started with the old Universal and black and white then Hammer once she got a wee bit older now at 17 she has an appreciation for these classic films not this sort of attitude towards them

New friend from kenya

CGI sucks !! The way they made them in the past was better.

Why are you telling the story before watching the movie? It sort defeats the purpose of a reaction channel when you know what's going to happen beforehand.

This is my all-time favorite movie. A couple of suggestions: "1408" (based on a Stephen King short story) "The Sixth Sense". _EXCELLENT_ movie. "Terrifier". Art the clown/mime is the best horror movie villain to come along in years. "Happy Death Day". Another horror/comedy. "The Invisible Man" (2020) Elizabeth Moss should've won an Oscar for her role. "Smile" Sosie Bacon should've won one also..

Wow, she gave away the whole movie plot before even watching it. Spoiler Alert.

Hi Purdy, hope you're ok with a bit of constructive criticism, maybe don't read the synopsis first, go in blind. Other than that, fantastic reaction, one of the funniest I've seen. Keep it up.

your so beautiful love your hair. ill follow you to greatness

I just do NOT understand why people are such assholes to you! You made me laugh and smile with your reactions and if you were gonna piss anyone off it woulda been ME! I saw this in cinemas when it came out. I was in high school then and I even bought the vinyl record with music "inspired" by the film, recorded by some disco dancing fool named MECO! I'm a bonafide FAN and I think your reaction was GREAT! So ignore the bastards. Fuck 'em! I liked and subbed! I am looking forward to all your contributions to my entertainment landscape.

The Howling is a much better warewolf movie.

U shouldn´t react 2 horror flicks. Too much laughing and u don´t take it seriously tho 🙄
