So far, this is my favorite horror movie soundtrack. Although I wouldn’t expect anything less than the director of Animal House and The Blues Brothers. Although this movie is a little different than a drunken romp and road trip. Although just as many boobs though. They literally created a fake porno to show in the movie. And the British cops are just as bumbling as every other London-set film I’ve watched this year.
Boobs and bobbies aside, the story itself isn’t scary; however the special effects are a little more gruesome than I expected. The werewolf transformation scene is what I imagine it would look like if women gave birth alone in the woods, without the fancy beds and drugs and doctors milling around telling her to “stop screaming.”
The story revolves around two American young men who are backpacking across Europe, but unfortunately start in cold, rainy werewolf infested English countryside. They both get attacked by a strange beast. One dies and is forced to roam the earth as a decaying zombie. The other lives and destined to become a werewolf on the next full moon.
Now, I don’t know much about werewolf lure. Most of my knowledge comes from Harry Potter, but it seems like if you know you’re going to change into a man-killing beast, mayyyybe don’t move into a crowded city and shack up with a woman you barely know.
However, maybe that is the theme. Don’t hang around with them city folk and loose women? Stay in the countryside where you can kill arrogant people and be ignored by townspeople. Wait, that last one sounds like the Unabomber. Okay, just don’t eat people–main takeaway. Oh, and cops in London are god awful at their jobs and crowd control.
