an interesting story and with good acting and well told . good direction and visually appeal and atmospheric . however and scientifically and and or or historically literate viewer will find one nagging and glare blunder while at one point in this story and which be suppose to be set in the mid 19th century and there be a reference to a person be control by his gene . come on . the term gene wasn not even propose until half a century later and and additionally and around mid 19th century the mechanism of inheritance be entirely unknown while mendel work lay undiscovered until early 20th century and and even mendel do not use the word gene ( so it couldn not have be a case of some exceptionally insightful scientist have discover the term in some ) . that sort of a slip may not seem much and but for someone aware of this history and it do brake the illusion of an authentic world in which the event be set and make it hard to enjoy the movie . i be surprised that anybody review the script do not pick up on it . but then again and the state of scientific literacy among filmmaker be often abysmal . in a movie set in a historical period and accuracy should be more of a priority though and i think . the story proceeds almost languidly and punctuate by moment of violence and terror while perhaps too slow for most horror fan to appreciate and and those who do appreciate the subtlety be likely to be bother by the gene mishap . the score be beautiful and and lighting be use to good effect while the combination make for a visually and auditorily please experience . perhaps because of how the movie be portray a a werewolf movie and the people who might best enjoy it and aren not likely to see it and and the people expect a traditional supernatural horror movie might feel a bit let down . in conclusion and romasanta be a movie not as good a it could have be and and somewhat misleadingly advertise on the cover and but well worth see nonetheless . i be tear between 7 or 8 star and and decide to be generous . positive .
