Once upon a time, dark little village in the middle of the woods, there lived a young girl named Valerie (Amanda Seyfried)whose family, as well as the whole entire village was threatened by an elusive werewolf. Now, throw in lust, forbidden love, family secrets, and Gary Oldman and then you will have this film. It is a visual spectacle, very focused on cinematography. And then the focus shifts, and shifts again and then shifts again and pretty soon we are alone in the woods with a werewolf. This film was lovely to look at but almost totally void of emotion. You cannot force sensuality. In the end, the story is brought together much like the "ah ha" moment of a Law and Order episode where we see the connection between all of the characters and the purpose for the crime. However, this summary was less than thrilling. There is nothing to miss here.
