I Was a Teenage Werewolf
“Explosive! Amazing! Terrifying! You won't believe your eyes!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 54, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A troubled teenager becomes the subject of a therapist's disastrously arrogant experiment. Michael Landon's anger gives the familiar youth-rebellion story force, while Whit Bissell's scientific confidence provides the campier counterpoint. The werewolf is only one of the reasons to distrust the treatment plan.
