An - American Werewolf In Paris 1997

An American Werewolf in Paris (1997) is a horror-comedy film directed by Anthony Waller, and serves as a standalone sequel to John Landis’s 1981 cult classic An American Werewolf in London . While it shares the basic premise of an American tourist encountering werewolves abroad, the tone, effects, and plot differ significantly from the original.

Three American friends—Andy, Brad, and Chris—are backpacking through Europe. In Paris, they meet a thrill-seeking woman named Serafine, who convinces them to sneak into the abandoned Paris catacombs for a party. There, they witness a secret gathering of werewolves. After an explosion, Andy rescues Serafine from a collapsing tunnel. Later, he discovers she was bitten by a werewolf and is now infected. As Andy falls in love with her, he must also deal with a pack of werewolves led by the villainous Claude, who has a connection to Serafine’s past. Eventually, Andy is also bitten and becomes a werewolf himself.

Despite negative reviews, An American Werewolf in Paris has gained a minor cult following among fans of 1990s B-movies and those nostalgic for late-90s horror-comedy. It is also notable as the final film appearance of actor Tom Everett Scott in a lead horror role, and for featuring a brief cameo of the original film’s famous “blue moors” title card. Director Anthony Waller has stated he intended it as a tribute, not a direct remake, but rights issues prevented a more explicit connection to Landis’s film.
