Netflix Rating: 3.6
Top Rotten Tomatoes Critics: A clever mixture of comedy and horror which succeeds in being both funny and scary, An American Werewolf in London possesses an overriding eagerness to please that prevents it from becoming off-putting. full review

Variety Staff, Variety

It's a failure, less because the odd stylistic mix doesn't take (it does from time to time, and to striking effect) than because Landis hasn't bothered to put his story into any kind of satisfying shape. full review

Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

Seems curiously unfinished, as if director John Landis spent all his energy on spectacular set pieces and then didn't want to bother with things like transitions, character development, or an ending. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Considering its often campy competition, it's hard to argue that, if your in the mood for lycanthropy, London is the place to go. full review
