 Teen Wolf Too (1987)

STARS Jason Bateman, Kim Darby, John Astin

COUNTRY United States LANGUAGE English

The plot: Jason Bateman plays Todd, cousin of Michael J. Fox's character from the first film. First world problems plague Todd at his new college, but then things get wolfy, and his popularity starts to rise. BUT AT WHAT COST?


Random observations:

  • Voted #85 of IMDb's Bottom Rated Movies
  • Jason Bateman's film debut and he's lucky it wasn't his finale.
  • Michael J. Fox turned down the chance to reprise his role mostly because he didn't want to go through the hours of makeup application
Well, those were more like random facts today as opposed to random observations, but whatever. Jason Bateman is super charming, but he can't hold a candle to Michael J. Fox.

The verdict: I can't imagine this being anyone's favorite film. If you are a werewolf or Jason Bateman completionist, you may as well watch it, but otherwise, it's sort of pointless and might make brain cells fall out of your bum.

An escaped maniac returns to his childhood home on Christmas Eve, which is now a sorority house, and begins to murder the sorority sisters one by one. Streaming on Hulu So I just watched the original Black Christmas for the first time a couple days ago, so it's pretty fresh in my mind. One thing that made Bob Clark's version better is that the low budget aspect of it actually contributed to the creepiness and horror. This version looks better in a lot of ways, but the polish detracts from the gritty horror that helped the 1974 version succeed better at the goal it se
