Two girls( singer Mya and Shannon Elizabeth ) want to know about their love life, at a fair,but they are told about some beast they are supposed to fear.

The very same night,one gets into a car crash and is killed by a wild animal looking a lot like a werewolf.

 

At the accident site we are introduced to the leading characters,Ellie and Jimmy,sister and brother, who’s parents’ died. They get scratched by the beast as it takes the victim away.

 

Soon after they start changing. Jimmy is into werewolf lore and is telling his sister about what he thinks is wrong with them,but she brushes him off,probably in fear of it being real.

 

The acting was good ,except for Christina Ricci, for some unknown reason. She’s usually good,but here she just seemed to be trying not to laugh all the time.

 

SPOILERS  I loved the female werewolf when it’s finally revealed who it is. She was funny. I loved the scene when she’s showing Ellie the finger after she calls her bony with thick thighs. It’s my favorite part of the movie,watched it many times.

 

And now the reason why I gave the movie such a high rating-it's in the details-

-the city lights look like a pentagram.

-the leading characters have a Red Riding Hood wall clock

-the intro song is by a band who sings about Red Riding Hood

-the title of the movie comes from a comment  " I could be cursed with the mark of the beast"

 

 

Rating : It's so money !
