Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Jackson Booth-Millard I heard the title of this film a number of times since its release, all I knew about it was that it had werewolves, and I knew it had low reviews by critics, but I still wanted to give it a go. Basically in Bucharest, Romania lives Vivian (Agnes Bruckner), an orphaned nineteen-year-old werewolf, she was raised by her aunt Astrid (Katja Riemann) after her parents and two siblings were killed by hunters in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado. Her family belongs to a bloodline of werewolves and Vivian is promised to Gabriel (Olivier Martinez), the leader of the pack, trying to a live like any regular human she works in a chocolate shop. American cartoonist Aiden (Hugh Dancy), who creates artworks and comic books but never signs his name, is researching the "mythology" of werewolves for his publisher for the next edition of his magazine, he meets Vivian and they form a close bond. They fall in love with each other, however Gabriel's evil son, and Vivian's cousin Rafe (Bryan Dick), is keeping a close eye on her and poisoning Gabriel about her loving relationship with Aiden. Vivian is being forced to choose between continuing centuries of family tradition and giving up true happiness or continuing her passion with Aiden and angering her fellow lycanthropes. Also starring Chris Geere as Ulf, Tom Harper as Gregor, John Kerr as Finn, Jack Wilson as Willem and Vitalie Ursu as Constani. The title is based on a thought phrase, a predicament for a werewolf, "which tastes sweeter, blood or chocolate". Bruckner gives a reasonably performance as the adolescent werewolf stuck between the dark world she inhabits and life as a human, Dancy is also reasonable as the human she falls for, and Martinez and Dick are alright being nasty, I will admit I did get into the story a little bit, the werewolf-human love story most of all, and some alright special effects, you could compare it to Twilight I suppose (but no vampires), overall it is a pretty average romantic fantasy horror. Okay!

Hakari I think this movie was stupid all they did was take the characters out of the book than changed it to how they wanted it, the book is placed in the US and she ends up with Gabriel not the human I bought the movie and have only watched it once it sucked. I loved the book it has more of a plot than the movie did, only two of the wolves hunt humans and they die at the end of the book. the main set of the book is the girl trying to find herself and to prove she is like her father and can be an alpha. there's a lot of drama Gabriel is only in his early twenty's in the book where in the movie he looks in his thirty's or forties and her mother is really wild instead of non existent

someofusarebrave Way to make wolves seem terrifying and potentially murderous, y'all.This movie is interesting, in its own way--if by interesting you mean 'tremendously bloody and unnecessarily perverted.'The main character, Vivian, is a sulky, broody, somewhat rebellious twenty-something whose guilt over her parents' death hangs like a cloud.She falls for Aiden, a decent, good-ole-boy running from an assault charge in the states and perhaps his own dorkiness--he writes comics.Anybody who calls themselves a "graphic artist" in defense against accusations of being a comic-book writer is well aware he is a dork.Meanwhile Gabriel, Vivian's other potential love interest, is a jerk.He's not just a jerk in the teenager, he-never-called-me-back style.Rather, he is a cold-blooded killer who has instituted a habit of killing a human being at random judged unworthy of life by himself.This is his idea of pack bonding.In this version of the story 'Blood and Chocolate', Gabriel is also Vivian's uncle, which just adds a terrifyingly 'ick' factor to it all.As if mercilessly hunting down humans in the forest wasn't 'ick' enuf.This story is kind of entertainingly interesting in its own way. The 'girl/boy breaks away from old community by breaking its rules, falls in love with the wrong guy/girl, and thus learns to forge their own way in life' is an oldie but a goodie. The werewolf thing's a twist.The problem is that this movie has nothing to do with the original novel except the names. In that far BETTER story, Viviane's mother had escaped the fire with her, and no member of the pack blamed her for her father's death. She lived in the U.S., not Romania. She went to school with Aiden, and she met him there. The entire pack had lived with child!Vivian and her parents before the fire, and they lived together still.They were not the only werewolf pack in the world, which made more sense as Werewolf legends seem to exist everywhere these days.Vivian was seventeen, and her mother was pushing her to commit to Gabriel because he was the new leader of the pack; there was no talk of some "mysterious" prophecy, which is an always groan-worthy insertion.The book is more a story of coming to terms with one's relationship with one's community, and accepting every sacrifice that must be made to maintain the natural order within that relationship...The film is more a story of accepting oneself at the cost of one's family.Gabriel in the novel is a cigar-smoking, motorcycle-riding, consonant-dropping hunk, five years older than Vivian at most but totally hot.Vivian is meant to feel somewhat afraid of his sexual prowess and his total ease with himself and his rebellious, leather-clad attitude.She is also meant to feel drawn to Aiden's more laid-back self. She also chooses to reveal what she is to him, and he freaks out.The important difference between book and movie--the most important one, anyway--is that in the book, killing humans is against pack code.While the book is a live-and-let-live treatise, the movie is a for-god-sakes-fear-the-outsider, chances-are-s/he-does-want-you-dead masterpiece. It is a masterpiece of FEAR-MONGERING, but oh well.Can't have everything I guess, but was a smart script too much to want?In fact, Rafe and Astrid, who is not his mother but rather his consort, wind up dead at Gabriel's hands because they murder a girl.They also set Vivian up for the murder...anyway, the plot is tight.The plot is also twisty, at times difficult to follow and a mystery on top of everything else. The book is in fact incredibly intelligent.I wish the same could be said for the movie.

izzy1235 The book that this movie is based on is actually a lot better then the movie. I do prefer the book over this movie. THe movie is completely different then the book. THey take place in two totally different places. I am not saying that i don't like the movie. i mean i do like it but I saw the movie before i knew there was a book and i have to say that the movie get basically everything wrong. So for the people that want a better plot line read the book. I do still watch the movie. i am watching the movies as i type this review on the movie. i shall try not to spoil any thing for or i hope not but even the ending are different in the book.
