This is the same man who brought us Animal House, The Blues Brothers, and An American Werewolf in London. How could he go from those great films to this dreck?
No spoilers today!!

A bit late, but if you're still wondering it probably has something to do with his Twilight Zone movie fiasco. Multiple actors died during a stunt (including two children) while under his direction. He came under a lot of fire for that, but didn't get any criminal charges, although his directing career certainly took a noticeable shift.
