@@Dead-Ball-Situation It was the first film for me when I was a kid to mix horror with some specifically comedic elements. To this day it’s still most particularly impressive in that regard.
I loved the film, and humor, but it's a bit rough in cinematography and editing. Each scene was solid enough, but felt very staged, and artificial at times. First saw it on release, and 4 or so times since.
The doc demonstrates a good example of assertive behaviour - pleasant but firm, communicates clearly and doesn't get phased by the hostile attitude of the locals.
The Slaughtered Lamb has great Guinness. Your pint will never run out. When he has his last sip there's more of the pint left than when he has his previous sip.
i know…amazing!! i checked it out on wiki..amazing guy..and 95!!!! woweeeee!!! legend. how i would love to ask him about m those days when he was filing the movie
He sure is.... a bloody good actor. He was brilliant as the intelligent & worldly Chief Supt John Kingdom in the severely underrated 1970s tv show New Scotland Yard.
80s, 90s, and early 2000s were the best eras. Especially with the 80s with dark films like The Dark Crystal. A 90s kid yet love 80s films. Guyver 2, a 90s film, was also good.
It had its good and bad. I graduated from high school in southeast Tennessee, USA. Some of the good aspects were that we had no social media and we didn't know what the internet was although it technically existed. We actually talked to each other and did things together. No woke nonsense was in the media. It was a simpler time. The bad things were some of the fashions and the hairstyles. I don't miss some of those at all! 😅
One of the best horror movies done with first class British character actors. I'd never seen it until it played one night and I was immediately pulled in.
Awesome film. Always made me look back down the escalator heading for the last tube train home. Not long after watching the film in the cinema I was walking back to Reeth from Tan Hill. The mist and the moon came out just like the film. I ran all the way back to Reeth after a sheep made an odd noise and I'd convinced myself it was a werewolf😂

Reminds me of Nenthead on the Cumbria- Durham border, 1400 feet above sea level and where a handful of people live isolated lives. Not sure if there's a pub there now.
What an excellent example of what a great Horror movie looks like. I remeber te forst time I saw it, the atmosphere in the pub, brilliantly staged and executed. A young Rick Mayall at the table. A comic genius in the making and lost to soon.
This confused me as those guys aren't playing chess and the guy that was is alone. I looked up Rik and figured it out though. I'd say they're playing dominoes but I'm guessing it's some other game that uses tiles. And it's Mayall.
@sgt.thundercok4704 You're more than a bit confused, of course they're playing chess. You can clearly see the pieces and the Dr. even suggests a chess move!
I went to work in London in early 1983 and one of the first things I did was visit Tottenham Court Road Underground station (where we first catch a brief glimpse of the Werewolf at the bottom of the escalator). It is all different now of course, but back then it was only a year or so after filming and it looked identical in every way. A very spooky experience, especially at night if you happened to be going up that particular escalator alone ha ha!
3:18 There's definitely slightly more Guinness in his glass than there was about 15 seconds earlier, also why do people never finish their drinks in movies when they piss off?
The scene when they're walking in the moors at night and hearing the growling scared the hell out me. No CGI back then, the transformation was amazing back then.
There have been rumours of prequel for years. Of course,there is a sort of sequel American werewolf in Paris. But it's pretty terrible, and I don't consider it cannon. There have also been rumours of a remake for years .
A busy doctor from London travels to Yorkshire because a boy he treated told him he was attacked by a werewolf. That's almost as unbelievable as a nurse sitting by your bed and reading to you all night.

I've never fully watched the film, but I've known of it for donkey's years... and so, this scene clearly reveals the inspiration behind one of the Fast Show's "Rambling Hiker" sketches! "That's enough!! That's enough!"
Ah the old Black Swan in Ockham, Surrey. Or the Mucky Duck as it was known, drank there a few times while it still looked like that, has apparently changed a fair bit now. Used to be able to camp in the field behind the pub during paintball tournaments bitd.
My dad’s old local boozer was just like that. God help you if you weren’t ‘LOCAL’ Few of the women regulars looked like werewolves come to think about it 😂
There has got to be an opportunity for a new film exploring the werewolf and the village around the slaughtered lamb... that has to be a good story surely?
The film industry cannot do good plots and acting these days . There would have to be a diverse , non binary LGBT werewolf with a climate change sub plot
TTheres a pub like this in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, Yorkshire...where men are men, and sheep are scared. Golden Lion. At 23, went for a drive from Leeds with my then gf and ended up here...wow.. what a place this is/was... Like the scene, EVERYONE stopped and turned to see who just entered: the talking stopped, the music paused, even the dart held its position in mid air.... we stayed for a very quick drink before fucking off sharp.... 😮😂
It's a weird thing for us in the US to imagine this sort of thing. We are led to believe that people in the UK are welcoming and friendly, like Canadians. Sad that it's like this. Never saw anything like this in Ireland. I did watch a bartender pour us a bunch of pints of Guinness, but not the correct way. The Irish girl with us yelled "What the fook do you think you're doing?" at him and he apologized and dumped them out.
@cvn6555 I think all cultures and countries are territorial when it comes to their favorite watering holes. Some just more than others. The Irish and British are probably on the extreme end of that spectrum. Even here in the US, if you walk into an unfamiliar bar, the regulars will turn around and look like "who the hell are you". 😆
The story of the Slaughtered Lamb was always far more intriguing than the rest of the film. A film exploring the secrets of that town and its public house would have been fantastic.
I remember "sneaking" in to watch this movie as a fifteen year old schoolboy. It had an adult rating in Britain and some of us were allowed in and some of my friends got thrown out of the cinema. For those of us who were allowed in there was a sense that you were witnessing a pivotal moment in cinema. For a bunch of kids who were brought up on lon chaney jr, boris karloff. peter cushing and christopher lee, it was a groundbreaking film. Sure, it scared the crap out of us, but at the same time you felt like you had seen something a bit special.
For all this scene was shot in Wales, it does look very much like the bleak Pennine area of North Yorkshire and Cumbria. These are still the sort of bleak places where hardly anyone lives, farmers scratch a living with sheep and some beef cattle and where outsiders are rare. Also ideal for a werewolf to go on the rampage and have a steer and a human for an evening meal.
@@deepinuranus3433 That's not the Tan Hill Inn. The outside shots are an old cottage in Crickadarn in Wales , and a pub in Surrey was used for the interiors.
Scared villager: "There's something wrong with this place!" Dr. Hirsch: "That much I understand!" Dr. Hirsch is played by the great British character actor John Woodvine.
Born in South Shields in 1929 and usually best known for playing authority figures. Woodvine took the lead role in the early seventies police series New Scotland Yard, where he played a DS assigned to cases that involved gang crime and terrorism.
looks like a conversation you'd find in elkhorn or walworth county wisconsin....I went there and there is something wrong with that place, its just a feeling I got ,theres a secret there.The areas history and people were mostly german but a few barns had hex signs painted on them....made wonder what are they warding off??

Born in South Shields in 1929 and usually best known for playing authority figures. Woodvine took the lead role in the early seventies police series New Scotland Yard, where he played a DS assigned to cases that involved gang crime and terrorism.
