Shakespeare it ain't, but it's a likable film well-acted. Nobody phones it in. If you can watch the Hallmark Hall of Fame, you can watch and enjoy this. The story is simple and believable (more or less), the script is a bit clichéd, but the characters come to life on screen in spite of that. If you prefer your clichés to be dark Steadicam sequences of mortal combat between dangerous, stylishly-clad characters with switchblades for fingers, or exploding cars, or ancient curses, or primitive monsters wasting their energy roaring into the camera lens rather than scarfing up the hero and heroine, or werewolves turning into zombies, or, for that matter, zombies into werewolves, look elsewhere.
