Description: Tony Rivers was a normal American teenager. The only thing is that he had one distinguishing feature. He’s very quick-tempered and aggressive. Energy hits in him over the edge. And the saddest thing that it beats in the wrong direction. After another fight police recommends a guy to see a doctor-psychiatrist Brandon, who uses hypnosis to treat injuries. Tony refuses. A little later, at the party, Tony again engaged in a serious fight. Then his girlfriend Arlene convinces Tony to go to the doctor. He agrees. But Dr. Brandon sees in Tony an ill patient, and the perfect copy for their bizarre experiments …
Review: The film “I Was a Teenage Werewolf ” lays the foundation of teen horror flicks. Unlike most horror movies of the 50’s, the main character is not an adult, he is a teenager. This film truly worthes of cult status. This is one of the symbols of the American period of that time, worthy to be looked at.
The plot here is almost entirely expressed in the title. We are talking about a teenager, who turns into a werewolf after bizarre experiments of a “mad” doctor. According to the canons of horror films, he was killed, but after he killed a couple of cute screaming girls.
The actors here play quite shity, except the main actor Michael Landon. Of course, his game is usually under the laws of a horror movie, but that scene with the werewolf is admirable. It is also a merit of makeupers. The value of the film, “I was a teen-werewolf” is very high among the movies about werewolves.

His name was Micheal Landon, and this is the film which introduced him to the world, and began an amazing 32 year run in which Mr. Landon was NEVER OFF TV. “I Was A Teenage Werewolf” is classic because it really IS a Werewolf Movie–not played for laughs, but delivered straight. Much like Lon Chaney’s classic “The Wolf Man” over 20 year before–but with a Teenage lead, instead of an adult. THIS FAN first saw it on TV as a kid way back in the early ’70s (1971, to be exact), and it was something even then–about 14 years after the fact. When it came to VHS during the late 80’s, I jumped on it to be one of the first to rent it. And, it STILL had the same power! If you ever wanted to learn HOW to make a true teen horror film, with atmosphere and shocks without falling into the “camp trap”, use THIS film as your example. After watching this, you will see WHY NBC-TV never let Micheal Landon go for nearly 4 decades. You will be amazed.

Vampires plus werewolves aren’t absolutely scary or believable anymore. I mean consider the twilight series. They create the supernatural creatures look like teenage fans or anything. Flesh eating zombies still are frequently ignored or brushed aside. These are typically the scariest elements on 2 feet. They eat human flesh plus afflicted people become 1 of them. I simply think which zombies need to be because favored because vampires plus werewolves. Any opinions?
