Oh boy, this is awful. I'm sorry but that was my first and lasting impression, of Teen Wolf.

This film feels like its trying to emulate 80's style horror flicks but it doesn't understand the basic mechanics, that made those classic films work. In short order, rounded characters, charm and chemistry, not to mention adhering to a simple, tried and true, horror formula.

Story wise, Teen wolf hops around like a barefoot beach goer on hot sand. Its all over the place. Its not helped either by cardboard cut out characters, with little to no presence or mutual chemistry.

In summary, a fall flat production that, in this viewers opinion, meekly mimics vastly superior offerings from the 80's.
