How did this movie get so many bad reviews? I thought this movie was great since it successfully played with people's emotions. Even from the very starting, with the shot of the beautiful village, the film got me interested. And it kept me interested until the very ending.
Let me just say that I enjoyed the romance factor that this movie had. It was sort of cliché, but I liked it! I was kind of wishing that it didn't end the way it did, though. Oh well. It was still great.
This movie reminded me of 'The Village'. They kind of have the same premise. The town is being terrorized by some sort of being and all the villagers are scared. I'm just glad that this movie had a better conclusion and ending than 'The Village' had.
My only complaint was how they kept on publicizing the fact that the director of 'Twilight' was the one who directed this film. Because of that, I couldn't help but compare the two movies when it came to the characters and the romance storyline. Both films had a girl as the main character who had two guys fighting for her. The only differences with the characters from both films were that the heroine in this movie kicked ass and this time, the "better guy" loses.
The best thing about this movie is the suspense and mystery that it gives. My guesses of who the wolf was kept on changing throughout the whole film. I checked the rating of this movie a while ago before I went off to the movie theater and saw that it ranked really low (below 5.0). I thought the reason for the low rating was because the identity of the wolf was really obvious from the trailer itself and there was no need to watch this movie. BUT, the thing is, the wolf isn't who you think it is! The movie incriminates and makes you suspect everyone in the town. I honestly did no expect the conclusion. That's what makes this a great movie.
Don't listen to the naysayers. Just keep in mind that this isn't a horror movie as the trailers portray it to be. It's a sort of mystery with some sort of romance mixed into it. Give it a try. And don't get brainwashed by those unbelievably harsh critics.
