Film is forever.
There's an old showbiz adage about never working with children or animals. Until Mom and son discover that Uncle Ted's developed an unhealthy interest in the subject of lycanthropy, has been keeping an incriminating journal, and has a ridiculous number of test tubes in his motor home. She dies, he gets bit, he kills werewolf. In the hands of a more capable actor, Ted's crossing the line into wolfdom might've been more convincing, but we're talking about a guy that comes in a distant fourth to the German Shepard, Hemingway, and a Macauly Culkin clone when the acting honors are handed out.
