If you haven't seen the movie or read the book, I suggest reading the book first. I liked both, but the movie and book are almost completely different.

It's a decent movie that should be seen at least once. The book is probably better though.

The action and the story is good with the love triangle with two shape shifters and a human though the ending is different than the ending in the book.

A suprisingly original werewolf movie!

Teenage girl Vivian Gandillon (Agnes Bruckner) is a Romanian-American who's biggest secret is that she is a werewolf that belongs to a special race of werewolves who transform into full ledge wolves at anytime instead of the full moon as they are the possible source to the werewolf legends. She lost her parents years ago in Colorodo as she now lives in a Romanian city to work at her Aunt Astrid (Katja Riemann) at a local chocolate store. However, she falls in love with a visiting American man named Aiden (Hugh Dancy) who's a graphic novelist that falls for her yet doesn't realize her secret until murders start happening as the leader of the wolf race known as Gabriel (Olivier Martinez) with son Rafe (Bryan Dick) are on the verge to kill him so he doesn't reveal their secret yet Vivian must try to protect Aiden.

A lush, well made and original take on the werewolf lore! this supernatural horror-fantasy romance film is based on the popular cult novel by Annette Curtis Klause which i've never read but will soon. I love how the werewolves in this movie are actual animals than just the plain half-human half-wolf beasts you see in other movies or change during full moon, this one owes more to "The Howling" where the werewolves turn at anytime. The acting isn't bad at all although Bryan Dick as Rafe was a little over the top, but i do appreciate that this is a well made lycanthropic love story despite weak characterizations that should have cult potential.

This Blu-Ray shows off very nice picture in highest crystal quality and even wonderful sound. The extras are little such as deleted scenes and featurettes.

"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."
