AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON    

Two American students David Kessler and Jack Goodman are on a summer backpacking hike through the Yorkshire moors. On July 17, 1981[00:01 to 17:24], the night of the full moon, they are attacked by a large animal and Jack is killed, but David sees the naked body of a man instead of an animal after their attacker is shot and killed. Three weeks later, Jack appears to David as a zombie explaining David is now a werewolf and that he should suicide to avoid hurting anyone and release Jack’s soul.
