Dir: Katja von Garnier
A clutter of cliches mars this soppy teen take on the werewolf myth. Somewhere in Bucharest, a highly organised 'pack' of wolf royalty known as the Loup-Garous hunts their human prey. When one of them (Agnes Bruckner) falls in love with a snotty whining comic book artist (Hugh Dancy), she must fight for her freedom against pathological pack leader Gabriel (Oliver Martinez on hammy autopilot). Oooh, who will win? Will love conquer all? Bah, who cares? I certainly didn't by the time I'd realised that all the stupid, misplaced CGI-enhanced "Underworld"-esque leaping in the world isn't going to enliven this illogical and utterly unengaging bore. Perhaps with some charismatic actors, a tighter script and less of the laughable 'action', this could've worked (there is actually a marginally interesting story underneath all the dross) but as it stands, no. Sorry. That said, I am praying they make a sequel, just so as they can call it "Blood and Chocolate 2 : Electric Loup-garou". *
