there be only two redeeming feature about this movie while the beauty of bucharest and it architecture and and the way they depict the transformation from human form to wolf form . forget about the plot or storyline from the book theyre completely absent from this movie . in fact and about the only thing carry over from the book be the name of the main player . even then you will barely recognize the characterization . if the film maker have make a good movie and even though unrelated to the book and i wouldn not have be so disappointed . unfortunately and they do not . the plot and storyline be typical of low budget horror flick and the acting be wooden and and the directorial effort mundane . oh yes and the way the loup garou bow to their leader be pure hoke . i suppose a nod of recognition be due for the animal handler . the wolf be beautiful animal and well manage in their role .
