🐺🎬"AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON

🐺🎬"AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON

Mon, Oct 5, 6:30 PM
From 🎥 THE HIDEOUT: FILM CLUB LONDON
4.7

🌕🐺 ***I have dreams of showing myself in full form, as whatever I suppress inside of me slowly makes me lose my mind. A full moon is blooming...*** 👋 **Hey guys!** I suppose I should start by saying how much I love werewolves, and when it comes to movies about them, not many people get it right. And I should know, since **I happen to be a werewolf myself**, of a certain kind\*\*.\*\* This **masterpiece** was directed by **John Landis**, who spent over a decade trying to get the film made. It brilliantly balances **genuine, blood-chilling horror with sharp dark humour**, while completely revolutionising practical effects through the work of master makeup artist **Rick Baker**. And it’s the kind of practical movie magic that we hardly see these days. **The film,** made way back in **1981**, follows two American backpackers who are attacked by a nasty beast on the English moors. One is killed, while the survivor, David, is left with a bloody bite wound. While recovering in hospital, in London, he is haunted by his dead friend, who warns him of his looming transformation into a werewolf at the next full moon. **This film is so sick.** **The Meetup:** We’ll be gathering at the **Victory House Wine Bar at 7:30 pm** to talk about the different kinds of **lycanthropy and werewolves**. Then, after a few drinks, we’ll head next door to the **Prince Charles Cinema** for the **8:30 pm screening**. You’ll find me in **seat D14** if you’d like to sit in the same row. **After the film**, at around **10:25 pm**, we’ll regroup again at the bar to share our thoughts and, give it our **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/)** scores. You’ll also find the **full ticket information, cinema address and map down below**, so you won’t get lost. For now though, I think the moon this evening will be a **waning crescent**, but I suggest you continue to **stick to the roads and stay off the moors**, as the transformation inside is guaranteed. 🌘🐺 **See you guys there!** **Jonny** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **HEADS UP** * If you **sign up** and later can’t make it, please 🙏 drop us a message (**or change your RSVP**) — You can also follow me **[@jonnyhideout](https://www.instagram.com/jonnyhideout/)** or our club **[@thehideoutmax](https://www.instagram.com/thehideoutmax/)** on instagram for fun updates. 🗓 **SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN** * **7:30 PM:** Drinks (Victory House Wine Bar) * **8:30 PM:** Fim (Prince Charles Cinema) * **10:30 pm:** Review 🎟️ **TICKET INFO & PRICES** * **Price:** From £11:50 * **Members Price**: £14.50 * **Tickets**: [Prince Charles Cinema](https://princecharlescinema.com/prince-charles-cinema/booknow/31627482/) 📍**VENUE ADDRESS** * **Victory House Wine Bar:** 14 Leicester Pl, London WC2H 7BZ * **Prince Charles Cinema:** 7 Leicester Pl, London WC2H 7BY 🎬 **PLOT DETAILS** * Two American college students are on a walking tour of Britain when they are attacked by a werewolf whose existence is consistently denied by the locals.
