Amazon.co.uk Review
On the strength of his Hitchcockian-thriller debut, Mute Witness, writer-director Anthony Waller was hired to direct this belated sequel to the 1981 horror comedyAn American Werewolf in London but lycanthropy in the City of Light just ain't what it used to be. The movie offers plenty of gruesome make-up and special wolf-transformation effects and there are some effectively spooky moments in the plot involving an underground population of hungry Parisian werewolves. One of them is seductively played by Julie Delpy, who is rescued from attempted suicide by an American tourist (Tom Everett Scott, from That Thing You Do!) but ultimately can't hide her dual identity when darkness falls and the full moon shines. The movie begins well but gradually succumbs to nonsense and mayhem, prompting critic Roger Ebert to observe that "here are people we don't care about,doing things they don't understand, in a movie without anyrules". In other words, you'd have to be a die-hard horror buff to give this one the benefit of the doubt.--Jeff Shannon

3.0 out of 5 stars Funny but not scary, 18 Dec 2001
In all a bit of a let down. Sequel to the classic "An American Werewolf in London", this loses much of the appeal by becoming more a slightly gory slapstck comedy than its far more frightening predecessor. That said, it is actually quite funny and carries a goofy charm with it, making it very watchable, if utterly forgettable. The special effects are sometimes impressive but mostly just look computer generated. A definate step down from Waller's last effort, the frankly brilliant "Mute Witness".

5.0 out of 5 stars So good, it's scary!, 3 Sep 2003
By A Customer
For some reason, Paris seems to be regarded almost as the poor relation of the American Werewolf films, which is a reputation completely undeserved. The humour is completely different to the original film, but as funny, if not more so. Paris has a much faster pace and more physical comdey, and pulls it off brilliantly with an inspired cast and a kick ass soundtrack. Its differences rather than its similarities to London are what make it so good, after all, what would be the point of just making a clone of the first film? This has been one of my favourite films since the first time I saw it on its release, and is most definitely not forgettable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Film review, 30 Jun 2006
By A. Simmons "My penny's worth" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I disagree with most of the views here. The first film An American Werewolf in London was alot of tounge in cheek and a bit silly, but this film was great and scared the pants of me. Lots of gore and a much better story line. If you like Werewolf films you will love this one.
