My Mom's a Werewolf1989
“Jennifer's mother is having an identity crisis.”
Directed by Michael Fischa
The premise
The frustrated housewife Leslie visits an animal shop to purchase a flea-collar. Unknowing that the owner is a werewolf, she accepts his invitation to lunch and later in his apartment. Through a bite in her toe he starts her slow transformation in a werewolf. Home again, she desperately tries to hide the often disgusting process from her family, but her daughter Jennifer and her - from horror magazines well educated - friend recognize what's going on, and help to kill the non-human.
Horror Vault's take
A bored suburban housewife's chance encounter with a mysterious pet-shop owner sets her on a horrifying path she never could have anticipated. As strange and unsettling changes begin taking hold of her body, she struggles to keep her secret hidden from the family under her roof. Her resourceful teenage daughter and a horror-obsessed best friend may be the only ones equipped to make sense of what's happening — and stop it. This late-80s creature feature plays its premise for laughs as much as scares, delivering campy fun over genuine dread.
