So off the mark
Added 1/24/2010
Okay so I might be a little bias having read the book before seeing this movie but I just thought it was awful! So much of want made the book amazing was changed. It just didn't have the same feel to it. I didn't like the plot or how the characters were changed and although it had some great cinematography I just found it dull.
Save your self the hassle and get the book instead.

This movie makes me want to puke on your shoes

Another one of the worst 5 movies of all time in any genre. I haven't read the book, so I'm reviewing the movie on it's own merit, and all I can say, it, it doesn't have any. Have you read the 5-star reviews? They're obviously written by 13 year old girls who had to hug their Strawberry Shortcake dolls during the movie so they wouldn't be scared of the big hairy woman-eating sexy college boys. I would rather drive rusty nails into my left foot while being beaten with a two-by-four against my barbed-wire wrapped head than watch this "film" again.

If you loved the book, or even had respect for it, don't watch this movie. It brings twisting books to a whole new level of perversity and `why did they even buy the copyrights'- ness.
I will say why I despise this movie very plainly, so even if you haven't read the book, you'll know what I mean. "SPOILER WARNING!"
In the book, our heroine, Vivian, loves being a werewolf and gets along with most of the other werewolves. The wolves only want to be left in peace, and are extremely careful not to hunt humans, while in the movie they're a sadistic lot who likes terrorizing and killing humans in a sick game where the whole pack hunts one person.
In the book, Vivian's werewolf love interest, Gabriel, is a firm but very fair pack leader who wants a mate (and wife) for life. Gabriel does not force attention on Vivian, he very patiently waits to see if she'll become interested. He is in his early twenties, she in her late teens. In the movie, the pack leader picks a new mate every seven years (??) Gabriel is supposed to be forty-ish (to Vivian`s late teens/early twenties) , and is the father of Vivian's cousin. Her aunt is still in love with him. And he stalks Vivian and insists she can't do anything about her `destiny'. Uh, gross!!! Oh, and in the movie she SHOOTS and kills him - that DOESN'T happen in the book!!
In the book, Vivian's human love interest doesn't except her for what she is - in the movie, he's totally cool about it.
And...in the book, a certain character tries to murder Vivian - in the movie that persons her aunt, whom she lives with!!
The movie is actually less scary than the book - I know, all those plot changes, and not more of a thriller? The movie is just occasional gore and violence - the book is really creepy and well-written.
I think the worst thing about this movie was it's total lack of respect for the author's work, and the total inability of the movie-makers to realize that an original plot about being a teenager - longing for acceptance and true love, and being unsure - with an awesome supernatural plot that is just as strong as the characters, would be a way better, more popular movie than a not-so-thriller with cliché after cliché. That is book murder!
