Jan Stuart, Newsday: The preview audience watched most of this in stony silence, broken only by the contented sound of critics scratching bad dialogue in their notepads. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: The elegant decay of Bucharest offers welcome visual relief from this otherwise tedious goth romance. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: If you have a decent laptop, a copy of the Final Cut Pro software, some gray spray paint and access to a German shepherd, then you can probably make a better-looking werewolf than the ones in Blood & Chocolate. Read more

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: I found Blood and Chocolate to be a lovely surprise, an imaginative and visually lush picture firmly rooted in the tradition of gothic romance and elegiac horror films about misunderstood monsters. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: In seeking to make a chick flick with fangs, the producers of the vampire franchise Underworld are doing a grave disservice to the genre. Read more
