ToledoTrumpton If there is a genre "Teen Movie" this has to be absolutely the apex of that craft.I had to stop the movie three times because I was laughing so much I was crying. It may have been the three glasses of wine I had drunk, but I really think it would have been just as good sober.The cast nail there cheesy lines every single time. The script is spot on and I was entertained from the very beginning to the very end.For the record the three moments I had to stop the movie were.1) How do you think she feels. 2) He invented Karaoke. 3) I brake for werewolves. (ok I was three sheets to the wind by this point)If you don't enjoy this you have no soul - highly recommended.
utgard14 An American family inherits a castle in Romania and go there to check it out. The daughter (Victoria Justice) accidentally becomes infected with werewolf blood and soon becomes a werewolf herself. She has to find a cure before the full moon ends or she will be a werewolf forever. There's also some stuff about a family legacy and a funny group of vampires out to get the castle.Nice family movie with a good cast. Being outside of the target demographic here, I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy this as much as I did. Victoria Justice is a likable young actress. I am not familiar with her work on TV but she seems to have a lot of potential. I'll be surprised if she doesn't go on to bigger things. Brooke Shields is really good. I haven't seen her in forever. Long way from Blue Lagoon, I guess. Chase Ellison seems to be having a great time with his part. Every kid dreams of being in a werewolf movie, I think. If they don't, they should. Brooke D'Orsay is a lot of fun here too. The whole cast seems to be having a good time. I always like to see that.I thought the werewolf effects were amazing for a movie produced for Nickelodeon. I was happy that they actually went the route of using a werewolf costume, as opposed to crappy CGI or the even crappier cheat of having the person turn into an actual wolf or dog so they can save money on effects like so many shows (Vampire Diaries, I'm looking at you).This is a cute, enjoyable, fun movie with good special effects and an immensely likable cast. That it can be this good while being made for television impresses me a lot. To the reviewer from Romania who was offended at how his country is portrayed in movies like this: lighten up, buddy. If the worst your country has to worry about is that its public image is that of being home to werewolves and vampires, you're doing pretty good compared to the rest of the world.
andrewhagi4 When you are to ask an American citizen about the country "Romania", they depict it as a place of vampires, werewolves, Dracula etc... That is all they know. As of this movie, it would be strongly recommended to do some vast research on the country before you decide to film about it. This movie is just an embarrassment to Romania, it is just too much stereotypical junk. For instance, the way M. Varcolac acts very mentally challenged, and laughs like an idiot. This is only one example. Why on earth would you use the name "Wolfsberg" as a town, which doesn't even exist? It is German and not Romanian!!!! It is actually very frustrating, and disappointing that they made all the Romanians on the street crazy people, who yell with a Russian accent. As well as with Goran. "Goran" is Yugoslavian, not at all Romanian. I very strongly believe that it wasn't even filmed in Romania And in case you didn't know, Vlad Dracula, or as you Americans say it, Count Dracula is actually Vlad Tepes, who was a very important Romanian Ruler hundreds of years ago. I cannot agree more with another written review, this is just rubbish. Thanks to all of you people, everyone mistakes the real Romania with a whole bunch of monsters.
sunnysunnydayday This is a great movie. It has a good plot, the casting is done well, and so are the digital effects-especially when Jordan turns back into a human being. But there are some mistakes, which are listed on the goof list. But what I enjoy is that they have found a great set, great actors-great movie. The werewolf special effects are the best, only we never get to see how the werewolves change their faces. I also like the stunts, which were greatly performed by the stunt doubles/actors. The actors have done great acting. On my TV for some reason it says it is a comedy, all though it is more of an horror movie. Overall, I think this is an amazing film and I hope it gets a better rating soon.
