3.9/10

Too bad the rating is so low. I am a HUGE MST3K fan, as a matter of fact I have a "DEEP 13" Tattoo (pre sci-fi channel fans will know what that means) and have not seen the "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" episode, which pleases me. The reason being, that I am a major fan of "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" and I am sorry to see that the film only gets a 3.9/10 rating. I think this movie is great and I strongly suggest viewing it, quickly followed by a screening of the original "How To Make A Monster" (1958) which has a great scene involving the "Teenage Werewolf" in a private screening room. The Teenage Werewolf isn't played by Michael Landon in "How To Make A Monster", but it's still cool.

I agree, I saw this when I was younger, but the story was interesting, and it had a decent pace. I loved this movie when I was a kid, and as an adult, it's still a classic.

This is a great horror movie as far as werewolf movies go and the late Michael Landon gives a totally convincing performance; 8 marks out of 10.

The true irony is, the movie has a low rating BECAUSE it was featured on MST3K. Every single film they've shown on there has a low rating, whether deserved or not.

As another poster said, movies that are shown on MST3K tend to have low average ratings because of the annoying fans who immediately give any film that appeared on the show a 1 without even watching the proper movie. Anyway, the average rating is 4.8/10 now, but that's still way too low in my opinion.

Its 4.8 now, but I think a 5.7-5.8 would be an okay rating for this.
