I had wanted to see this movie in theaters, but couldn't find the time. So, I bought it as soon as it came out on DVD. I loved it! Amanda Seyfried once again proves how talented she is. Both Shiloh and Max were very hot leading men. And I love Billy Burke in anything. Valerie (Seyfried) is a beautiful young woman torn between two men. She's in love with the brooding outsider, Peter (Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max Irons). Valerie and Peter plan to run away together when they learn that Valerie's sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls around the town at night. While the men go to hunt for the wolf, the town priest (Lukas Haas) sends for famed werewolf hunter Father Solomon (Gary Oldman). After the wolf strikes again, the townspeople have no choice but to trust Father Solomon as he tries to find the wolf that is clearly someone in town. The wolf also can talk to Valerie and wants her to come with him, or he will kill everyone she loves. It soon becomes clear that the wolf is someone Valerie loves, so she can't trust anyone. Not even Peter.
