Moments of inspiration vie in vain with Goth cliche.

Uninvolving and cliche-ridden (even shape-shifters, it seems, deserve a falling-in-love montage), Blood & Chocolate is Romeo and Juliet with fewer manners and more exotic dentition.

Michael Hardy Boston Globe (Top Critic)

The city ends up being more interesting than the story or characters. Too bad we can barely see it.

Somewhere, Lon Chaney Jr. must be howling mad.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

The elegant decay of Bucharest offers welcome visual relief from this otherwise tedious goth romance.

A slapdash supernatural adventure-romance.

Peter Debruge Variety (Top Critic)

Based on a popular teen novel by Annette Curtis Klause, Blood and Chocolate revises classic werewolf legend and effectively neuters it in the process.

This is the kind of werewolf flick that seems to have used up its entire special-effects budget on canine contact lenses.

Blood & Chocolate does offer two tiny consolations. At least it's not a vampire movie. And at least this bad German horror director isn't Uwe Boll.

In seeking to make a chick flick with fangs, the producers of the vampire franchise Underworld are doing a grave disservice to the genre.

Stephanie Zacharek Salon.com (Top Critic)

I found Blood and Chocolate to be a lovely surprise, an imaginative and visually lush picture firmly rooted in the tradition of gothic romance and elegiac horror films about misunderstood monsters.

Blood and Chocolate has no audience. Horror fans will be disgusted by the lack of gore. Romance fans will be disgusted by the presence of gore.

A silly werewolf movie without any fangs.

There isn't enough absinthe in all of Romania to obliterate the taste of this clunker.

A far cry from such sneakily subversive werewolf-sex tales as The Company of Wolves or Ginger Snaps, this pallid little picture is all Lost Boys posturing by way of the sublimely ridiculous Covenant.

A bland, forgettable, and sub-par teen marketed horror cash-in that bored me to tears...

10

A truly laughable movie, one that takes itself far too seriously without ever taking a moment to consider who its audience is -- or if it even has one.

...the film's positives are ultimately outweighed by its negatives.

A junior version of Underworld, minus the vampires, the action scenes, the cool FX, and the half-a-brain.
