Review: The cheap sequel to John Landis' classic 1981 An American Werewolf in London that caused Michael Jackon to ask him to create and direct the video clip for the song Thriller. I could barely remember this movie, but after a while it was obvious that I had already seen it, and this many times in VHS but not since 15 years. I had a fond memory of it and I was glad that I still liked the fun story in spite of the cheap-looking CGI and prosthetics monsters. If you are not too fussy about those effects and watch the movie on a small screen it is OK and you can even enjoy some good horrific and scary moments. The setting in the underground world of Paris is a good idea, Tom Everett Scott is quite funny when he undergoes his transformation, Julie Delpy is all contrast between her two characters and some other characters like the policeman played by Tom Novembre are nicely in balance with the main ones. The parallel story with Andy and his ghosts could seem out of place but I found it funny as well. Really a fun Horror movie.
