A family inherits a Romanian mansion and discovers the family's secret

[8/10 · 23 October 2010]

A family inherits a Romanian mansion and discovers the family's secret When the Sands family inherits a Romanian mansion, they travel to the old country with the intention to sell the spooky property. The caretaker Madame V (Brooke Shields) resembles Frau Blücher from Young Frankenstein, down to an animal sound whenever her name is spoken (a wolf, in this case). Jordan and her brother, Hunter, come along to enjoy the sites, but (in another Young Frankenstein nod) discover the hidden lab. Jordan comes into contact with the blood of a werewolf when she steps on a broken vile and becomes a werewolf. The father becomes interested in a local real estate agent, Paulina, who is offering to sell the property for the family. Paulina seems to return that interest; however we soon learn that she has her own reasons for wanting to gain control of the mansion. Hunter turns to Madam V who informs him that his family has been the protectors of the town for centuries and werewolves are good things, but there is a formula to cure Jordan's condition. Some people are bloodline werewolves, while others are not. Without a bloodline werewolf, the vampires will rise up and the world will suffer. When Paulina turns out to be the vampire in charge, things begin to get interesting and lead to the Sands family being chained up. Hunter surprises everyone when he suddenly turns into a bloodline werewolf, breaks his chains and a battle begins. The vampires loose and Paulina seems to have been destroyed. The family keeps the mansion, inherits a large amount of money, Jordan is cured, and Madam V has a home and a job for life. Returning to America the family returns to "normal" life and the father takes them, and a date to the movies. As they leave a moving van is parked across the street and it is revealed that Paulina is moving in to continue her efforts to establish the vampire realm. There is nothing in the movie that hasn't been seen before, but the treatment is fun and the acting good. OK, it is not Shakespeare, but come on folks; it is a werewolf Vs. vampire movie for kids. Turn off the old think melon and enjoy a bit of silly entertainment.
