As an avid lover of horror books and movies, I was ecstatic to hear that the most interesting and dynamic novel about werewolves I have ever read was to be adapted to the silver screen.

I have just joined our local library and one of the cool things they offer is DVD rentals for either one or two pounds depending on the release date - now that is a lot cheaper than Blockbusters where we normally go and a lot cheaper too! One of the films I rented for only a pound to keep a week was 'Blood & Chocolate' which is a story about a nineteen year old American Girl who now lives in Bucharest, Romania since her family were killed ten years previously. It is advertised on the cover as 'a werewolf tale. A secret to keep. A legacy to defend'. Vivian played by Agnes Bruckner is one of a pack of ancient 'loup garoux' which are a ...  Read the complete review
