It was O.K., not bad, not great. It was not going to win any Academy Awards, but it was far better than Sharknado. The only little thing I didn't understand was when Peter was bitten by Cesaire and became a werewolf. I thought you had to be bitten by a werewolf in wolf form to be cursed as a werewolf. If you are bitten while it is in it's human form then no harm done. But then again, I am not up on my werewolf lore.
I also enjoyed it despite the many who mocked it on this message board. I had no idea who the wolf was as a human so I found it exciting. The script and acting was not Oscar-worthy but it's as good as all those werewolf shows that also are flawed with poor scripts and acting.
shareI just saw it (Sunday afternoon) because it wasn't even in the regular Syfy Saturday movie primetime slot, so not even they thought it was due the respect given to Jersey Shore Shark Attack.
Given the rules of the movie and how powerful the Gary Oldman character was, they could've solved the 'mystery' in 15 minutes by poking everyone with silver, or gathering everyone on holy ground and using the buddy system. Why was she so cool with stabbing her soulmate, after which it was business as usual, grabbing a bite to eat? WTF? And then callously dispatching her father. Well she did admit to having an evil streak, but then the choice should have been more difficult.

Except this is a movie, and I think that stuff about the searching and suspecting your neighbor was some kind of social comment.
"Why was she so cool with stabbing her soulmate..."
You didn't get that Valerie suspected Peter?
"And then callously dispatching her father."
WTF? You didn't hear the part about how the father killed Lucie? He also killed his own mother (the grandma). He was a monster, and not just literally; considering the sexual symbolism behind the wolf in the original fairytale, the father was also a child molester.

A movie, if it wants to be any good, should create a problem of sufficient proportions, such that it would take the appropriate time to solve. Social commentary? Please. That's reading way too much into this movie.
The Iceman serial killer has more emotion dispatching people than she does(the actress is capable, it's the writer and director's fault). Normal people don't mutilate their close family members with no reaction, no matter how evil they think they suddenly became. If it was that wolf side she had that enables this level of coldness, then it should have been more of a struggle to decide if she should just go with her father or not.

I'm sorry, but your wrong about this. You haven't watched this film closely.
The mere fact that young Valerie wears trousers is significant. We have a Medieval-like setting with the church playing a prominent role. Joan of Arc, was burned for wearing male attire...

The way this movie went, they'd come up with a convenient excuse why they couldn't use simple tests; e.g. Peter was in the elaborate brass torture device that he just conveniently managed to escape in perfect harmony w/ the wolf's appearance.
