Review:
I have read and loved the book Blood and Chocolate
multiple times, and was prepared to be rather dissapointed with this movie,
especially when the previews so obviously showed a movie that aside from a few
names and the fact that there were werewolves was not the book at all. I wasn't
wrong in that assumption. This movie however, although it was not a brilliant
bit of oscar-worthy film, was still not horrible. It was a light, slightly chick
flickish, but enjoyable movie. Don't go into it expecting the book, or a movie
that is on par with Underworld and you can enjoy it for what it is...more

5 Second Review:
We cant wait, but then again we love violence, terror,
sexuality, and substance abuse not necessarily in that order. The movie
probably sucks, but that's ok as it fills all of our needs. If you liked
the Underworld series you will like Blood and Chocolate.
