BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

O2D While this movies make very little sense, it's not really that bad.So a giant sparkler crashes into a man and his son.The man dies and his son becomes a giant werewolf with really bad teeth.If you are a fan of Howard Stern, you will quickly notice that the "monster" sounds like a cross between Gary The Retard and JD.If you are not a Stern fan, you probably won't understand a thing it says.But anyway, I was lead to believe this movie was sci-fi/horror/western and it's really none of those.It's a movie about relationships with no other genre elements.I will never understand why old movies with the word "teenager" in the title never actually have any teenagers in the movie.That aside, this movie isn't too bad.Give it a shot.

mark.waltz Another hideously cheap piece of drive-in trash, this is one of those movies where no care was taken in to establish any sort of continuity or character. At one point, a female character comes in and asks another what they are writing. My future, she replies. I retorted to that statement, hope you're not planning a future in acting! There is little explanation given as to why a teenage boy has suddenly ended up looking like a caveman. Going around attacking people for no reason yet acting childlike when among the women who seem to gather around him to protect him from harm.Looking like a badly filmed early TV show, this is so hideously bad I can't even imagine it being rushed into production and even released. How anybody could even sit through this and think it was release worthy is beyond me. The monster grumbles in gibberish, and the other characters refer to him as if it's normal for an old western town have such a creature roaming around. Amateurish acting so laughably bad, this is difficult to get through for even those of us who can find something good in a bad movie. If you think that Ed Wood made bad movies, think again at this collection of three teenage movies packaged together under one DVD. At least my copy was cheap but as they say, you get what you pay for.

JoeB131 It was the 1950's, and essentially, something called Television had everyone's attention and no one was going to theaters anymore, except for horny kids going to a drive in to make out. So essentially, putting the word "Teenage" in a title of a film was a great method of getting an audience anyway, as those kids weren't watching the stupid movie, anyway! Okay, here's the plot. A family of miners are struck by a (I guess) radioactive meteor, which kills the husband and burns the boy, turning him into a mutant. His mother hides the boy,who is now a vicious moron unable to realize his own strengths. He kidnaps a local waitress, who realizes there is money to be made manipulating an immensely strong moron. Hilarity ensues...Worth watching? Not really.

Chris Gaskin Teenage Monster is just typical of the many very low budget sci fi/horrors made for the drive in market during the 1950's. Most of them were so made that they were good and this is certainly one of them.A meteor lands on a family's farm, killing the dad and injuring the young boy. The rays from the meteor turn him into a werewolf like monster some years later and he now likes killing people. His mum keeps him locked up as much as she can. A young woman is employed by the mother and the monster takes a liking to her and she gets him to kill her boyfriend after he steals $500 from her. After she tries to get the monster to kill his mum and her new lover, the local sheriff, he knocks her out, throws her to her death from a cliff and he is shot dead.The cast includes Anne Gwynne (House of Frankenstein), Gloria Castillo (Invasion of the Saucer Men), Stuart Wade (Monster From the Oceon Floor) with Gilbert Perkins as the monster.This is a must see for all bad movie fans. Great fun.Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
