Compare this to the crappy follow up "An American Werewolf in Paris"
WIth CGI almost everything that is generated looks flat. Watch the werewolves in the follow up, they look like shadows with bits painted in. It's like mixing cartoons with reality and the horror genre is not the place for that.
It was brought out as a low budget B moviebut ends up as one of the all time greats, the work that went into the animatronics was way ahead of its time, Fantastic movie.
the celtic cubs are no longer able to afford the shirts on thier backs;-) so nature is bringing them back to harsh reality for the winter, and show them the best way to survive;-) ,extra layers of protection in the comfortable surroundings;-)
Pratical effects FTW none of that CGI bullshit. Man have filmmakers lost the true meaning of film making and have gottan lazy and used CGI. If i ever become a movie maker im bringing this shit back. (:
the funny thing about this movie is that you can tell by the plot that it is supposed to be a horrorfilm, but it's done so subtle and underwhelming, that's incredible funny
@goldieboylover986 It's supposed to be funny as well. In it's own weird way. Like when his dead mate keeps showing up, and every time you see him he has another body part missing lol.
@sweethaert12 Well, a wolf's claws are a sort of dark brown usually. Perhaps his nails turning yellow was meant to be the beginning of the transformation of his finger/toe nails.
this transformation makes the argument against CGI all on its own. if this was CGI it would have sucked. best transformation i have seen in any movie(and ive seen tons)
prisoner of azkaban wasnt good... the werewolf looked goofy to me. the underworld transformations were good, but this one shows soo much more detail and gives more life to the character.
also the fact that it's not computer generated at all makes it ten times better. so much more creative here then the modern warewolves used in cinema.
Glad it exists. You won't see it again. Suits make the product now. They're trying to get as many 3D movies made now, because Avatar made money. They use CGI now for the same reason. The only way you'll see this kind of non-CGI craft come back is if Rick Baker or someone else makes something that makes LOTS of money.
sad but true. this kind of effect takes talent to do, and its a dying art. sadly, i do believe that real special effects are going the way of well written scripts and storylines: dead. that truly saddens me. this 3d bull has got to stop. how does a paddleball ball flying out of the screen make the movie any better?(using an example from monsters vs aliens). its just obnoxious.
Very true. The 3D is an excuse to charge more for the same movie.... so its here to stay. I dont mind it, provided the stories are good. But hollywood keeps remaking old TV shows like A Team, Bewitched and Get Smart. And theres a sequel to nearly everything.... or a remake. The only old TV show I really think has untapped movie potential is "Fantasy Island". For now.... I'll keep my eyes peeled for anything truly original.
One of my favorite scenes of all time - hilarious!

They should have actually put this song in the transformation scene instead of Blue Moon. It just fits so much better.
