Villains Beginning With 'D'
David Kessler AKAWerewolf, Lycanthrope or Wolfman
An American Werewolf In London
film (1981)
David Kessler is an American college student, who is backpacking across the Yorkshire moors with good friend Jack Goodman, when they are attacked by a large, unknown animal. Jack is killed, but David survives the mauling and is taken to a hospital in London. When he wakes up some time later, he has no memory of what happened and is told of his friend's death. Things get stranger when he is visited by Jack's ghost, which takes the distressing form of a reanimated corpse, who explains that they had been attacked by a werewolf, meaning that David himself is now a werewolf. Jack urges David to kill himself before the next full moon, not only because Jack is cursed to exist in a state of living death for as long as the bloodline of the werewolf that attacked them survives, but also to prevent David from cursing others when he transforms. Naturally David thinks he is going a little mad!
Upon his release from the hospital, David moves in with the pretty young nurse, Alex Price, who grew infatuated whilst he stayed at the hospital. He is in Alex's London apartment when the full moon rises and, per Jack's warnings, he turns into a werewolf. In the form of a werewolf, David prowls the streets and subways and slaughters innocent Londoners. When he wakes in the morning, he is naked with no memory of the killings.
David realizes that Jack was right about him turning into a Warewolf and that he is responsible for the murders. Despite being in an advanced stage of decay, Jack returns for another visit, this time accompanied by David's victims from the previous night. David eventualy turns into a werewolf again and goes on another killing spree. Following a chase through London, he is cornered in an alley by the police, he is shot to death when he lunges forward, and returns from werewolf to human form as he dies.
SUMMARY
ARCH RIVAL : |
Appears that most things living are prey to be eaten but I think the Werewolf in this movie has a particular taste for human flesh! |
STRENGTHS : |
Can change from human to Werewolf, apparently can't be traced very easily by the Police after murdering people. The Warewolf is very strong almost like a lion or very large wolf or dog. The Warewolf can run very fast and is very visious when it attacks. |
WEAKNESSES : |
A Werewolf can't decide when it's going to change, it's decided by the full moon. |
WEAPONS : |
As a Werewolf it has sharp teeth snd claws which it can use as a weopan. |
QUOTE : |
"Taxi Driver: Haven't you heard? Last night... six of 'em. All in diferent parts of the city, all mutilated. He must be a real right maniac, this fella." |
