Cult classic that really holds its own, even 30 years later. Great entertainment with an eccentric mix of horror and bizarre humor. 11 years 5 months ago -

Manages to weave horror, humor, romance and drama together pretty deftly. Some very memorable sequences. Ignore the inane sequel. 13 years 1 month ago -

This movie has what has to be the best werewolf transformation sequence seen on screen.
As others have stated, this is mostly a horror-comedy that definitely doesn't take itself seriously. It breaks the mold and is worth watching if you're in the mood for a dark comedy with gore and that is entirely original. 6 years 3 months ago
