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 clich��� after clich���. That is book murder!

I loved the movie and wanted to get the soundtrack because there are some songs in the movie that I love. I recommend savior and Predator. Those are great songs! Wish they would make another movie!

I love witch movies. this one was exciting, and scary and cruel and it was the latter that bothered me most. but a totally worthwhile movie. glad i bought it. the DVD case does come with much less plastic than you'd expect, it seems they're on some plastic reducing kick. you'll notice this in other DVDs as well.

I visited South Africa and that beautiful country entered in my heart.
A friend advised me about the Michener's novel, the covenant, which i searched traslated in my native language, italian, but very hard to find.
Despite the book is quite huge, more than 1,000 pages, reading it is enjoyble and instructive. For everyone would to visit South Africa and got more informations about it's history and what it's today, the Covenant is a very recommended source.
