text: When was the last time you saw a really, really good werewolf movie? I guess that might be an unfair question. People look for different things in their movies. I thought that Slither was a great horror comedy because it had likeable, emotionally grounded characters, and managed to blend the two genres in a way that felt natural. Some people were really turned off by how gross it was, and maybe others prefer their horror without any humor. That’s fine. Now that I mention it, though, Slither is a much better movie than An American Werewolf in London. That’s because American Werewolf only succeeds as a horror comedy for maybe the first twenty minutes.
