When graphic novelist Aiden (Hugh Dancy) travels to Bucharest to research the loup garou legend, he nearly gets devoured in the latest female werewolf film, Blood and Chocolate. In the tradition of Werewolf Woman and Ginger Snaps, Blood and Chocolate stars Vivian Gandillon (Agnes Bruckner), a girl who's forced to face her lupine tendencies in order to discover how capable of loving Aiden she really is. Based on a book by Annette Curtis Clause, the film chronicles the lives of the remaining loup garou who are an extended Romanian family waiting for their pack leader, Gabriel, to select his new mate. His desire for Vivian means trouble when her wish to be with Aiden results in her revealing too much about the clan's secretive lifestyle. In this film, werewolves look fully human until their eyes glow with colored contact lenses while they fly through the air to then land as full-fledged wolves. Gone are the days, apparently, of films showing the transformation in all its hairy, explosive detail. A lack of scenes describing the werewolf metamorphosis make this film more a love story than a monster tale, though two forest gatherings in which the loup garou hunt human sacrifices offer some grizzly satisfaction. Unlike the aforementioned femme werewolf films, Blood and Chocolate features a girl fighting her urge to kill in a bid to unite humans with her brethren, making this movie the most peaceful in its genre. With a tame wolf as protagonist, the potential nightmare is really just a pleasant dream to unite the two disparate worlds. The question is: Do we want that to happen? --Trinie Dalton

 Great Movie! March 14, 2010
Carolyn Laws Faktor (AL)
My daughter really wanted this movie for her psp and I found it here for a good price. I recieved it within the week and she was watching it the night it came. It has a great plot and is scary to a degree but mostly a love story. It has a good plot and would recommend it to anyone.

Great visual effects! If you like the Twilight Saga, then this movie is the same type for you.
 So off the mark January 24, 2010

Okay so I might be a little bias having read the book before seeing this movie but I just thought it was awful! So much of want made the book amazing was changed. It just didn't have the same feel to it. I didn't like the plot or how the characters were changed and although it had some great cinematography I just found it dull.
Save your self the hassle and get the book instead.

Bad Movie Buff

Another one of the worst 5 movies of all time in any genre. I haven't read the book, so I'm reviewing the movie on it's own merit, and all I can say, it, it doesn't have any. Have you read the 5-star reviews? They're obviously written by 13 year old girls who had to hug their Strawberry Shortcake dolls during the movie so they wouldn't be scared of the big hairy woman-eating sexy college boys. I would rather drive rusty nails into my left foot while being beaten with a two-by-four against my barbed-wire wrapped head than watch this "film" again.
