An American Werewolf In Paris Details

Made as a belated sequel to the classic An American Werewolf in London, this watered-down lycanthrope lampoon from director Anthony Waller is frustratingly devoid of the edgy suspense, biting humour and keen visual style of that comedy horror landmark. Three American students, including That Thing You Do's Tom Everett Scott, go to Paris to bungee jump off the Eiffel Tower and find themselves inducted into a tortured twilight world of full Moon parties where French lowlifes are feasted on by shape-shifting hairy creatures. Despite the presence of the lovely Julie Delpy as a werewolf whose mutating biorhythms are kept in check by an experimental serum, Waller's low-key special effects extravaganza doesn't have the fairy-tale quality of director John Landis's original.

A sequel to An American Werewolf in London which often resembles a remake of the original, though it lacks that film's engaging mix of horror and black humour.
