For whatever reason, I put Blood and Chocolate into my queue at Netflix.

I want to pan the film. It definitely had enough cheese for several macaroni & cheese dinners.

Yet, I have to say that despite all its flaws, I found the film mildly engaging. The story wasn’t too bad, and despite the some awkward editing and a general lack of special effects, all the actors seemed seriously committed to delivering this story. I have to give special props to Hugh Dancy though. He was so good, that at times, it seemed as if he was in a much better movie than the rest of the other actors.

Movie synopsis:

Ten years ago, in the remote mountains of Colorado, a young girl watched helplessly as her family was murdered by a pack of angry men for the secret they carried in their blood. Now, though she lives half a world away, Vivian Gandillon is still running. Living in relative safety in Bucharest, Vivian spends her days working at a chocolate shop and nights trawling the city’s underground clubs. During a chance encounter in an abandoned church celebrating the loup garoux (werewolves), Aiden unknowingly comes face-to-face with the real thing, Vivian.
