Cult classic that really holds its own, even 30 years later. Great entertainment with an eccentric mix of horror and bizarre humor.

Manages to weave horror, humor, romance and drama together pretty deftly. Some very memorable sequences. Ignore the inane sequel.

This movie has what has to be the best werewolf transformation sequence seen on screen.

As others have stated, this is mostly a horror-comedy that definitely doesn't take itself seriously. It breaks the mold and is worth watching if you're in the mood for a dark comedy with gore and that is entirely original.
