Some needed light relief after The Horseman, and what a great choice.
Always nice to have at least one retro film thrown into the procedings and it looked and sounded great in this new remastered version.
John Landis was brilliant too especially as he stayed for the event and checked out lots of other films.

Beware The Moon: Interesting documentary with some needed humour after The Horseman, although perhaps would have played better after the main film. 7 / 10
An American Werewolf In London: Classic. Perfect balance of humour, horror, suspense and tragic love. 10 / 10

No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.
Enjoyed seeing this on the big screen, excepting the synchronisation issues.

WTF ? Why are rthey remaking "big name" 80s horrors ? Having already been horrified by how poor the remake of Frtiday 13th was and having a lot of trepidation around the Nightmare remake (although Jackie Earl Harley is good casting, I was not overly impressed by the trailer) I do not know what to expect any more ......Remake
In June, 2009, it was announced that Dimension Films was working with producers Sean and Bryan Furst on a remake of the film.[4]

It did seem rather odd to me that 'Beware The Moon' was shown before Werewolf instead of after it. Anyone who hadn't seen Werewolf before (there must be some) pretty much got all the best bits ruined for them, particularly the dream and transformation sequences, oh and the ending.
John Landis remarked on this himself.

Yeah, my Mrs hadn't seen Werewolf so we had to skip Beware the Moon or else it would've been ruined for her. I will catch that on DVD.
Werewolf looked amazing, the lip-synch was distracting...especially during Brian Glover's joke telling scene

Having had chance to preview the digital print of Werewolf tonight, I can happily say that the audio sync problems seem to be just down to either technical issues, or the digital print the Empire had, so thankfully the Blu-ray should be nigh on perfect!satanslittlehelper wrote:Yeah, my Mrs hadn't seen Werewolf so we had to skip Beware the Moon or else it would've been ruined for her.

Speaking of which, can anyone (Kesslerboy, I'm looking at you!) confirm that Beware the moon is on the UK Blu? HMV don't seem to have it listed, but it is listed as being on the US "Full Moon" edition..

Over egged the case for Blu Ray here. I had watched the film on DVD only the sunday before and could well make out the grafitti and that was using a Limit dvd player from 2001 and a cheapo Aiwa cathode ray TV.
All i did notice was you can see the werewolf at the bottom of the alley but i put that down to the size of the projection as i noticed it again in the pixelated reduced in size compared to all the other 4 final douche bros short.
All the ads too were crystal clear on the dvd so i call shennaigans on this. Also it was so clear the picture had been darkened especially in the love making scene, revisionism how i loathe thee.

DVD Beaver have done a comparison of the DVD and the BLu Ray.
Hardly mind-blowing to those indifferent to HD, but looks great for a nigh-on 30-year old film.
