Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

jimthor-13847 This is the type of movie I love to watch. It's off the beaten path of regular horror flix. It's a love story wrapped in a horror flix that both you and your girl could enjoy. I like that it's not just a werewolf eating and killing people and then getting killed at the end in some horrific manner! There a good story line and plot. The characters are real and believable. The acting is good. I rated this movie a 9 because it puts a good twist to the werewolf/wolf story. It's uniquely excellent in it's making. Hope that makes since. It's an overall entertaining movie that you don't want to end.Jim W

loveballet12 Date: 14 July, 2012 -First Time Watch- So, it was my younger sister's turn to pick a movie for our family to watch. I usually dread this since she always picks really bad movies and I thought this movie would be no exception. Since, it seems to me, most werewolf movies are made on low budgets. Even though it was produced by the same people who did 'Underworld', which is good, I still thought it wasn't going to be that good. Surprisingly, I found the movie decent. The storyline is not spectacular by any means, to me it seems like it's been done before, but it was still well done. Not exactly a must see if you ask me but it still provided some decent entertainment.6/10

neverquietchild This movie sucked. I read the book and loved it so watching this was really sad. It totally strays from the original plot line. The book is set in the US and the characters are totally different. They are all younger in the book than in the movie,Vivian doesn't live with her aunt, Aiden is supposed to be a hippie and Gabriel is the badass but not the bad guy. Most annoying is the ending of the movie because Vivian kills Gabriel and runs away with Adien, but in the book she ends up with Gabriel and the pack. Even though I mainly hated the movie because of its changes to the book I also didn't like the movie itself. It just seemed dated and old, I didn't think it was filmed in 2007. Also, the actors that were cast didn't fit to me. Overall, how it was all put together sucked.

Paul Andrews Blood and Chocolate is set in Bucharest in Romania where nineteen year old Werewolf Vivian (Agnes Bruckner) lives with her aunt Astrid (Katja Riemann) who is also a Werewolf after fleeing Colorado in America ten years previously. A whole society of Werewolves live in Bucharest, the leader Gabriel (Oliver Martinez) has devised laws by which the Werewolf society must abide by, one such rule is that Gabriel must remarry every seven years & Vivian is next in line. However while out in Buchrest an American comic book artist named Aiden (Hugh Dancy) falls for her & ask's her out, Vivian eventually accepts & the two quickly fall in love. Gabriel gets wind of the relationship & orders his son Rafe (Bryan Dick) to scare Aiden off but in a fight Aiden kills Rafe with a silver amulet. Out for revenge Gabriel wants both Aiden & Vivian dead, working together to save their own lives Aiden & Vivian must try to find a way out of the city...This American, British, German & Romanian co-production was directed by Katja von Garnier & was based on the novel of the same name by Annette Curtis Klause which I have not read so I cannot directly compare the two but by all accounts the book is significantly different, to me this soft teen romantic drama fantasy was trying to be the new Twilight saga but with Werewolves instead of Vampires & it's just an all round weak effort. The script for Blood and Chocolate is flawed, for a start at almost an hour & forty minutes long it feels like it goes on forever & is just plain boring. The whole concept about a secret society of Werewolves living in Bucharest is alright but they are given no background whatsoever, how they escaped from Colorado to Bucharest, the laws that they live under are never gone into in any great detail & they are all very vague, the prophecy that says Gabriel has to marry every seven years is never given any reasoning & there's absolutely no purpose to it that I could see, the script doesn't quite know what it wants to be as it goes from supernatural fantasy to horror or teen drama to romantic love story without ever really satisfying or delivering as any of them. Bucharest seems almost deserted, apart from Vivian's love interest Aiden there are no other human character's at all & so it was hard for me to relate to anything I was seeing, the mythology of the Werewolf world that Blood and Chocolate tries to create leads to some very stiff dialogue scenes that are supposed to be dramatic & meaningful but they have no narrative impact & come across as ridiculous & surreal.I suspect that Blood and Chocolate was conceived as a teen friendly romantic fantasy horror but as a love story it's predictable (a mismatched couple's love for one another sees them through a bad situation), as a fantasy it's poor (when the Werewolves change they change in a bright flash of light into just a normal Wolf, for me I like my killer Werewolves to actually look like fearsome monsters rather than a rather tame looking Wolf) & because it's aimed at a teen audience there is no horror here & everything is very tame with no blood or gore & at the end Vivian & Aiden take time out to save three of the bad Werewolves from burning to death. Surprisingly short on special effects the ones present are OK but nothing great, the transformation scenes really do look silly despite the makers obviously trying to film them to look elegant. To be honest it's never really explained why the Werewolves actually need to change into Wolves, while still in human form they seem to have great strength & agility (lost of scenes of people hopping around & trying to look cool but coming off as looking silly) yet while as a Wolf they seem to have no great ability whatsoever & are obviously a lot more vulnerable.Released theatrically during January 2007 this was a box-office disaster taking in only just over two million dollars, actually filmed in Bucharest in Romania the film looks quite nice with fairly attractive Earthy looking colours throughout. The acting is poor, Agnes Bruckner looks bored, the two main villains look like they belong in boy bands & I suspect most of the actor's were cast due to their looks rather than their acting ability.Blood and Chocolate is a reasonably nice looking film with some striking locations but the horror is so diluted, the romance is so flat & sterile while the film as a whole is so predictable that I couldn't recommend it as I didn't think much of it myself. Trying to cash in on the success of the Twilight saga Blood and Chocolate is a poor relation in all respects.
