John Landis' horror comedy is probably the best werewolf movie ever made with a fantastic transformation sequence that still holds up to this day it looks and feels painful, a true landmark moment. A true classic of the genre.

a mad dog? in my non-stop orgy palace? it’s more likely than you think

The best shot of the movie comes during the transformation scene when he stares directly into the camera, his eyes filled with agony, arm outstretched in paralyzed fear, so utterly helpless that he breaks the fourth wall and looks at the audience to call timeout and stop the impossible nightmare from happening. Then the very end which cuts to credits like a knockout punch and "Blue Moon" kicks in, which throws all the weight and urgency of the climax against the wall with such gleeful punctuation, reminding you this is a horror movie with serious consequences but it's also aware of the silliness that's embedded in werewolf films. It's this balance of genuine horror and playful nodding to the tropes that makes it a flawless homage and the ultimate modernization the genre would ever receive.

oi have you got a loisence to turn into that werewolf

Imagine your friend dies and comes back in your head to torment you delicately asking you to commit suicide, super silly movie ngl

why have only one version of Blue Moon in your film when you can have three instead

I love how cheerful that one couple is even in death.
