- Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2025Until I saw it at Walmart for.the.same price
- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2025Came in mint condition
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2016This is a Blu-ray review only. For a film review, any number of talented reviewers have covered the film here and on the old DVD pages.
This film has been released multiple times on DVD and on Blu-ray in nearly all of the major markets and, as it is one of my favorites, I have many of those editions. For the record, this new high definition transfer, as found on the Restored Edition released in 2016 by Universal, is far superior to the previous editions, most notably the Full Moon Version that I watched too many times. The Restored Edition was encoded at a higher bitrate using the modern encoding format of AVC (MPEG 4) rather than the, usually, inferior VC-1 format (though this format does occasionally look amazing). This edition, consequently, treats the viewer to red reds, rather than the previously slightly orange reds, and black blacks, rather than the previously grey blacks, and a nice amount of detail and texture that was missing from the previous US and overseas editions of this classic. If you are a fan of the film, this is the version to splurge on, as it represents the highest available quality for this film. Given how old the film is, be advised that it doesn't look a summer blockbuster, there are some scenes with clear softening and some moments in which colors do feel flat as compared to a comic book adaptation or cartoon. As to sound, the best source available was used on the previous Blu-rays so this track is the same and, as before, sounds wonderful as compared to DVDs and VHS copies. I don't believe they will be resourcing an audio track, given how well this track turned out and how difficult it would be to find a better source than the one used so, for all intents and purposes, this is about the best you will find. That having been said, this is most likely the best this film will look for at least the next decade and, possibly, even after that and, in comparison to all my previous editions, it is like a gift from heaven. They have done a beautiful job, given the state of the celluloid stock today and the look of the film when it was brand spanking new. Good luck in making your choice.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024Perfect
- Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2016The film itself s obviously awesome, all-time great. I have purchased every version from CED video disc on up.
This particular Blu-Ray release is NOT however, a "remaster" nor a "restoration."
To me, a "restored" film is transferred to a digital format from the original film elements, either negatives or interpositives were digitally re-scanned (either 2k or 4k), meticulously cleaned up and expertly encoded. This did not happen here.
I compared the dust specs in some scenes, and they match up frame-by-frame to the previous releases.
All they did here was add a de-noising filter to the previous and then over sharpen it.
The opening titles do pop more in bright white, however, again, the same dust specs appear within the main title as the previous releases.
Can't say much has been done with the color timing either. David's jacket appears an orange/red rather than the rich red it should be and some of the digital "restoration" actually creates some ugly smoothed out results overall.
In the scene where Jack and David are walking down the hill towards the Slaughtered Lamp, the houses in the distance look like watercolor paintings.
Towards the end, any solid colored objects appear to have a "screen door" effect layered on top of them? Probably due to the over sharpening of a digital transfer.
The Main Menu is uninspiring and without any thought or creativity.
All the extras are exactly the same as previous releases, although the interlacing is quite nasty to watch.
Wouldn't be shocked to find that a millennial worked on this!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2020"AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON" was actually the second of two werewolf horror thrillers that were released in 1981, the other, being Avco Embassy's "THE HOWLING" quickly dominated the box offices that same year-but "AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON" was another original horror movie made with then-state of the art makeup special effects that are extremely superior. directed by John Landis ("ANIMAL HOUSE", "THE BLUES BROTHERS", and "TWILIGHT ZONE, The MOVIE") the thriller focuses on two American citizens back-packing in the British moors, and stopping at a creepy pub in the middle of the British countryside called "The Slaughtered Lamb" where the two young lads encounter unfriendly and obnoxiously "gothic" Brits who cautiously warned the two to "beware of the full moon", which proved futile and results in a deadly attack by what appears to be an unusually "strong" wolf, resulting in the mauled and gory death of one of the boys-and the survivor, played by David Naughton, revives in a London Hospital and treated by a lovely and caring British nurse, played by Jenny Agutter ("LOGAN'S RUN", "THE AVENGERS") where an intimate relationship occurs- but David's deceased friend returns from the dead, in a rotting body, humorous, but warning David to beware of the full moon,and telling him to kill himself before his feeding frezy which will transform David into a murderous werewolf with a hunger for flesh meat-and the impressive special effects used to show the scary transformation from a concerned boy into a deadly lycanthrope with a big taste for blood and flesh just makes this movie one of 1981's top contenders for sci-fi horror, tying highly close to "THE HOWLING" but a bit more superior! "MUPPETS" voice actor Frank Oz also appears in this thriller, which used vintage rock music versions of "Blue Moon" to enhance the mood over this original and unique take of Lycanthropy, especially under John Landis' expert direction. I gave this movie a five-star rating for originality and some sly humor, but all around good fun-albeit gory, but still a very interesting piece of great entertainment!!

5.0 out of 5 stars 流石!レストア版。
このレビューは、輸入盤の「An American Werewolf in London - Restored Edition [Blu-ray]」のレビューです。
輸入盤の「狼男アメリカン」のブルーレイには、2種類あって、FULL MOON EDITION と RESTORED EDITION がAmazonさんでも購入可能です。
FULL MOON EDITIONは、日本国内盤と同じです。
最初に再生する国を選ぶと全て日本語字幕入りで全ての収録映像を見ることが出来ます。
ファンにとってはもう一枚のレストア版の方が大切ですね!
日本国内盤もFULL MOON EDITIONも同じマスターを使用しているため画質は同じです。
確かに綺麗ですがフィルム・グレイン(フィルムの粒子)が結構目立ちザラザラした高画質と言ったところです。
ところがレストア版の方は、フィルム・グレインが殆ど目立たず、実に綺麗です。
論より証拠!百聞は一見にしかず!
キャプチャー画像をカスタマー画像としてアップしておきますので比較して見てください。
一見、ザラついた方が綺麗に見えますが、大画面の動画で再生してみるとハッキリとその違いが見て取れます。
レストア版の方には、残念ながら日本語字幕は収録されていません。
また収録されている特典映像は同じです。
この映画の大ファンの方なら、字幕なんかクソ食らえ!
購入するしかありませんね。
ヒー流石!レストア版。
