The acting was good although I had trouble with the enunciation of some of the minor characters. The sets and location shots are wonderful particularly the Toronto interiors, the family estate and the village street scenes. The attention to detail - NY plates on the cars, American flags flying, newspaper racks on the sidewalks & individualistic costuming all add to the sense of authenticity. Usually I can spot a Canadian production pretending to be in an American location very rapidly - this one had no "tells". As our heroine was morphing into her lupine alter ego she somehow reminded me of Ann Coulter - that would have been real horror! The family values espoused seem closer to Don Corleone's than Ward Cleaver's which adds another layer to the plot(s). The Horror genre isn't usually my thing, but I love a good gangster flick. When the Godfather's henchmen grow real fangs, what's not to like! Terry
score 9/10
