  • Adaptation Displacement: People who watched it probably didn't know it was based on a book.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Ted crosses this when he had Thor hauled away to the dog pound for snooping around him, urinate on his doghouse just to gloat at tying up his loose end and then decided to kill Janet and Brett to Leave No Witnesses.
  • Older Than They Think: Not many people may remember it anymore but I Was a Teenage Werewolf was the first werewolf film to feature a lycanthrope fighting a dog (who also happened to be a German Shepherd no less).
  • Special Effects Failure: The werewolf itself is terrific for a film of this budget, but the less said about the transformation sequence (Body Horror aside) the better.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: The werewolf looks just stunning, terrifyingly real, one of the best-looking werewolves ever filmed. Even the transformation sequence, with some dodgy CGI-morphing, is an innovative use of the technology, even if it looks a bit dated.
