Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) is in love with a brooding outsider Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie's older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village. For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, but the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), to help them kill the wolf. But Solomon's arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. Panic grips the town as Valerie discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast-one that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect...and bait.

Was a okay film but there was a lot of just thrown in clips at the end that made no sense. The characters were also hard to get attached too, I was also annoyed that the main characters didn't look to their jobs. Like the woodcutter isn't dirty at all or had any scaring from working in a job like a woodcutter. Though I really thought he was a blacksmith? But even then he didn't look it. Just thought that because you see him a couple times in a area that looked like a blacksmith shop. I did find it Funny how the main characters especially the "main Guys" looked clean even though one works in a job like woodcutting. Actually appeared like they bathed twice a week (though people barley bathed during that time) and I swear these guys have found hair gel during a, what appears to be medieval period. It's also crazy teen dramaish and screams Twilight. Overall not impressed, might as well have been a fanfic of the net.

Rubbish! The script, the direction completely lacks cohesion. It's not a fantasy take on a classic tale, it's an artless mix of visual elements that do not belong together. Logic even worse. A Widower with children, a medieval Knight and religious Father (clergy) named Salomon - all in one person?

I really enjoyed this (although i was not expecting to) I didn't think the characters were flat at all, I could understand their actions and that they were good for the circumstances they were in. Very suspensful, a bit of a slow start, but once you get into it you'll really like it. Ending was awesome-realistic for the situation and still a little cliff-hanger. Good movie!
