Critics Consensus

Cheap CG effects and laughable dialogue make Blood and Chocolate worse than the usual werewolf flick.

Audience Reviews for Blood and Chocolate

  • Oct 30, 2013
    The supernatural thriller Blood and Chocolate is an intriguing and intense dark romance. The story follows a mysterious young woman from a noble werewolf bloodline who falls for a human, but their lives become endangered when her family discovers their affair. Agnes Bruckner and Hugh Dancy lead the cast and give solid performances. And, the writing does a job good at creating a fascinating werewolf mythology. The special effects also create an interesting transformation effect for the wolves that accentuates their spiritual and mystical nature. A compelling and stylistic film, Blood and Chocolate delivers romance and adventure.

    I was so hesitant to watch this one due to the cheesy 80's soft-core, Red Shoe Diaries looking cover. My fears of this being Twilight for wolves was only mildly subsided after I got through the first half of the movie. To my delight, it wasn't teenage high school corny, it was a sweet, simple love story set in dark (Underworld'ish) Romania, but with terrible marketing. My biggest problem with it was the glowing cop-out on the wolf transformations, this element was the only sparkly tie to Twilight. Overall, I would say it's nothing to write home to mom about, but a sweet story to pass the time.

    I think Blood and Chocolate is purposefully ugly to convey with the film's overall mood and I enjoyed the fact that in this werewolf film there was more development of character. There wasn't an explosion of CGI and a lot of interesting things went on in the film. I came out satisfied. I was entertained.
