Critic Reviews

  • Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed

    Much too lame to be considered a sequel to "An American Werewolf in London."

  • Rob Nelson, Boston Phoenix

    The humor isn't funny, the horror isn't scary, and the digital wolf f/x look cheap.

  • Cole Smithey, ColeSmithey.com

    Uh, no.

  • Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com

    Fundamentally lame.

  • Clint Morris, Moviehole

    Put it out of it's misery

    An American Werewolf in Paris has no real connection with it's predecessor. However it does follow the same premise and keeps the interesting mythology it started. Paris may not be as classic as it's dry and bizarre prequel, but it is just as entertaining. The humour is only… More
