So last night on AICN they were reporting that one of the best horror movies of all times, An American Werewolf in London was about to have a silver bullet shot into it with a remake, and my heart sank. But thankfully today they are saying that Dimension, who bought the rights to the franchise, is just doing a adding to the franchise because Universal owns the DVD, television and online rights and wouldn’t let them touch the original. Thankfully one of the scariest and well done horror movies won’t be destroyed by a stupid remake that will never capture the feel that original one had.
The 1981 movie already had one sequel in 1997, An American Werewolf in Paris that wasn’t as good. Hopefully Dimension will make us howl at the moon again and the horror classic justice, but when was the last time that happened.
BTW if you have never seen An American Werewolf in London, buy it now and watch it with some you want to hold you as scream like girl… Seriously it is one of the best movies ever in any genre!
