An American Werewolf in London 4K UHD 02/22 Blu-ray (Rental)

One of the greatest directors of the 1980s, John Landis, expertly combines macabre horror with dark humour in the lycanthropic classic, An American Werewolf in London. American tourists David and Jack are savaged by an unidentified vicious animal whilst hiking on the Yorkshire Moors. David awakes in a London hospital to find his friend dead and his life in disarray. Retiring to the home of a beautiful nurse to recuperate, he soon experiences disturbing changes to his mind and body, undergoing a full-moon transformation that will unleash terror on the streets of the capital... An American Werewolf in London had audiences howling with laughter and recoiling in terror upon its cinema release. Landis’ film has gone on to become one of the most important horror films of its decade, rightly lauded for its masterful set-pieces, uniquely unsettling atmosphere and Rick Baker’s truly ground-breaking, Oscar-winning special make-up effects. Now newly restored and presented with an abundance of extra features, this big beast of horror can be devoured as never before... 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS Brand new 4K restoration by Arrow Films from the original negative 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) Original uncompressed 1.0 mono and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Commentary by Beware the Moon filmmaker Paul Davis Commentary by actors David Naughton and Griffin Dunne Mark of The Beast: The Legacy of the Universal Werewolf, feature-length documentary by filmmaker Daniel Griffith, with interviews with John Landis, David Naughton and more An American Filmmaker in London, interview with John Landis about British cinema and his time working in Britain I Think He’s a Jew: The Werewolf’s Secret, video essay by filmmaker Jon Spira about how Landis’ film explores Jewish identity The Werewolf’s Call, Corin Hardy, director of The Nun, chats with writer Simon Ward about their formative experiences with Landis’ film Wares of the Wolf, featurette in which SFX artist Dan Martin and Tim Lawes of Prop Store look at some of the costumes and special effects artefacts from the film Beware the Moon, Paul Davis’ acclaimed, feature-length exploration of Landis’ film which boasts extensive interviews An American Werewolf in Bob’s Basement and Causing a Disturbance: Piccadilly Revisited, two 2008 featurettes filmed by Paul Davis Making An American Werewolf in London, archival featurette on the film’s production An Interview with John Landis, archival interview with the director about the film Make-up Artist Rick Baker on An American Werewolf in London, the legendary make-up artist discusses his work on the film I Walked with a Werewolf, archival interview with Rick Baker about Universal horror and its legacy of Wolfman films Casting of the Hand, archival footage from Rick Baker’s workshop showing the casting of David Naughton’s hand Outtakes Storyboards featurette Original trailer and teaser plus TV and radio spots Extensive image gallery featuring over 200 stills, posters and other ephemera Reversible sleeve featuring original poster art and artwork by Graham Humphreys Double-sided fold-out poster Six double-sided, postcard-sized lobby card reproductions Limited edition 60-page, perfect-bound book featuring writing by Craig Ian Mann and Simon Ward, archival articles and reviews
