An American Werewolf in Paris
An American man unwittingly gets involved with werewolves who have developed a serum allowing them to transform at will.
Why it matters
A misfire in the werewolf canon that tries to blend creature feature with cheeky urban adventure but lands far from the mark.
- Attempts a modern twist on lycanthropy with a serum for controlled transformation—ambitious but undercooked.
- Parisian setting offers atmospheric potential, though squandered by uneven performances and lackluster scares.
- Practical effects are minimal, leaning heavily on CGI that hasn’t aged well, disappointing fans of tactile creature work.
- Worth a look for die-hard werewolf completists curious about late-90s genre experiments, but don’t expect the cult magic of its predecessor.
