The John Landis film, An American Werewolf in London, is an iconic film that has achieved cult status over the years.
This film is about two American college students, David Kessler and Jack Goodman, who whilst backpacking in England, encounter a werewolf who vicious attacks them, killing Jack but it is killed before David is killed as well. David wakes up in a hospital in London but starts to suffer terrible nightmares of his dead friend Jack, who tells David that he is now a werewolf and must kill himself before killing more people. David faces a terrible struggle to control his violent alter-ego of a werewolf, especially now that he has fallen in love with a nurse, Alex Price, who cared for him in hospital.
The cast for this film features the following.
David Naughton - David Kessler
Griffin Dunne - Jack Goodman

Advantages: Both quite good for the money £2 Disadvantages: Film quality of the second feature isnt great.
very slowly.
Jude Law was about and acting in the 70s.
When the vampire was hunting Elvira down cause she needed the blood of a virgin why didn?t Daninsky do the honourable thing? (You know what I mean)
Leather jackets stop knives. Checkered shirts don?t.
Who I?d Punch
Daninsky?s mad sister. I didn?t like her cheek bones one bit.
Overall
I wouldn?t recommend it. You the average person (even if you are on Ciao) won?t like it. If you?re the type of person who would like this film then you just know. It wasn?t anything special to me and if I got saw the other Daninsky films going cheap I might give them a go. It?s a cheap DVD set with The Screaming Skull added on. Not to be sniffed at. Also bear in mind The Werewolf vs. The Vampire Woman is dubbed. Quite well to be fair but it is noticeable. The Screaming Skull is probably ...
Advantages: Unintentional laughs, Christopher Lee Disadvantages: Confused style, bare bones plot, drags in places
79. Howling 2: Your Sister is a Werewolf (1984)
Picking up directly after The Howling (1981) we see the funeral of Karen White, who was shot down after turning into a werewolf. Christopher Lee appears on the scene to inform Karen's brother, Ben, and his girlfriend, Jenny, that because the silver bullets in Karen were removed at the autopsy, he must ritually kill her again before she rises from the dead as a werewolf. After Ben briefly goes on a gun totting frenzy out for Lee's blood, they are quickly convinced and team up with him. Then head out to Transylvania to kick werewolf butt. Namely - Stirba the immortal queen of all werewolves (Sybil Danning). Or as the alternative UK subtitle for the film calls her, 'Stirba - Werewolf Bitch'.
My middling rating in part reflects my confusion. Following on from Joe Dante's tongue in cheek ...
A film in three parts including Blood Reunion, Old Blood and Manbeast.

DVD Description
BLOOD OF THE WEREWOLF is a three-part anthology of three different werewolf stories, each with a different twist--one is gothic, another urban, and another has science-fiction elements. BLOOD REUNION is the story of a disillusioned writer who returns to his hometown with the hopes of reuniting with his one-time love, only to find things are a little weirder than when he left. In OLD BLOOD, a woman who longs to become a different person may unfortunately get what she wants. And in MANBEAST, a man runs through the woods to elude two pursuers who are on his trail, but things may not always be as they seem...
