Editorial Reviews

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

3.0 out of 5 stars A so-so sequel with some good effects, November 17, 2004

By	Darren Harrison "DVD collector and reviewer" (Washington D.C.) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Being a big fan of the John Landis original I decided to give this movie a chance and sat down with some popcorn and soda and hit "play." Moments later I was shaking my head and pondering switching to one of my favorite television shows.
This movie is a pale imitation of the original `American Werewolf in London' and I imagine that the director of that 1981 classic John Landis was none to pleased to be associated with this production (in the credits it refers to using characters from the original).
Right from the get-go we can tell though that whereas the original had a wicked dry streak of humor to it (one of the tracks was `Blue Moon') this one is instead going to take a more slapstick approach.
As the movie begins we join three American friends who are on a round Europe trip taking a series of daredevil stunts. Being obviously hormone driven (they all eye-up a French girl on the train and discuss how European girls are more sophisticated), I would venture a guess they would feel quite at home in a Farrelly brothers production. Upon arrival in the French capital they sneak onto the Eiffel Tower at night and as one of them prepares to bungee jump off the top some quick thinking allows the hapless hero to save a girls life.
Left with only the girls shoe the three track down the girl down after which time they discover her deep secret.
This may be some people's idea of a great or fun movie. Personally though it was not mine and afterwards I did switch to watch Prue, Piper and Phoebe battle demons and warlocks.
One bright spot this movie does have is some pretty nifty werewolf effects

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing at all, just a terrible flick, September 29, 2003

By	Pat (Glen Ellyn, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews

I cannot believe that this movie was made. Honestly, if you're gonna do a sequal to An American Werewolf in London, get Rick Baker and John Landis back, not some no-name hacks. Don't even bother with this movie, and don't confuse it with it's far superior prequal, An American Werewolf in London

3.0 out of 5 stars Why does everyone hate this movie?, July 28, 2007

By	T. Steffes "tawniemarie" (South Dakota, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Okay, it's not the best horror movie, or werewolf movie, or even in the top 25. I agree that the acting isn't that great, hey I agree with most of the negitive points that other reviewers made about it. However, I still like it, and I watch it when it comes on TV. I guess I'm one of those people who can suspend judgement and get into some movies that don't make sense, and I wonder what that really says about me?
