Pros: Some nice shots of, I assume, Bucharest, with nice color grading. Some fitting pieces of score music.
Cons: The writing, the characters, the generic Hallmark jukebox score songs clumsily edited in. The EDITING.
I don't doubt that there was a version of this that was kind sort of worth finishing, while still kind of being forgettable, and amateurishly written, but the editing absolutely kills it. And it's a pity, because I cared enough about Hugh Dancy and Agnes Bruckners' characters that I may have actually made it past the 3/4 way point, but Dancy's character had to tell her that she should have tried harder to avoid him if she ,,had really cared about me at all!" Bitch, please.
The supernatural thriller Blood and Chocolate is an intriguing and intense dark romance. The story follows a mysterious young woman from a noble werewolf bloodline who falls for a human, but their lives become endangered when her family discovers their affair. Agnes Bruckner and Hugh Dancy lead the cast and give solid performances. And, the writing does a job good at creating a fascinating werewolf mythology. The special effects also create an interesting transformation effect for the wolves that accentuates their spiritual and mystical nature. A compelling and stylistic film, Blood and Chocolate delivers romance and adventure.
Definitely not enough chocolate.
They barely even mention chocolate.

The awfulness of this movie is almost indescribable. It made my brain physically hurt, which is quite an accomplishment without nerve-endings. The characters are vapid and two-dimensional, with the most basic motivations that aren't even remotely believable, with horrid SFX and a completely unnecessary explosion. "Terrible" doesn't even begin to cut it.
