This is not a werewolf movie because there are no werewolves. (Lucy growling towards the final scenes does not count.) There is no continuity. What is implied changes every so often to where nothing makes any sense at all.
For example, Donovan makes the claim that he is supposed to meet someone, and yet he supposedly doesn't know the man's name. It has something to do with curing Lucy's cancer. However, he eventually talks about the magic wolf saliva, and everyone is angry, but it does not really resolve how the hunters and him are connected. However, it then turns out that he had actually been there to bring people to feed to his mother who had apparently become a werewolf. However, it is then revealed that Lucy had known all along what was going on and Donovan didn't, yet had still given Lucy the "cure" but claiming that it was just men fooling around outside all that time. Confused? Most certainly. The plot itself changes a few times to where it appears no one knew what they were writing about in the script (assuming there was one).
So which is it? Donovan seeking his girlfriend's cure? Donovan bringing them there to feed his mother? Why did the hunters indicate that they had no clue that they were there to hunt when they had apparently planned it all out? What in the world is the sense of that? Did Donovan know his girlfriend would become a werewolf? Why did Lucy suddenly know more than Donovan and Donovan suddenly not know anything? Was it some sort of magic "instant werewolf memory"? Was this movie all about amnesia coming and going? Did Lucy suddenly have Donovan's brain in her head, and he hers, because that's the strong impression one gets towards the end. Why did Donovan not know what was going on when his mother had been a werewolf?
Hunters: We are hunters and are hunting werewolves so as to get their saliva because it is worth a fortune. Wait! What were those creatures? Are we hunting something? Why are we here?
Donovan: We are here to meet a man. I don't know his name. I don't know what is going on.
Donovan: But oh wait, I heard something about magic werewolf saliva and that is why we are here. But I didn't know the hunters would be shooting at us and stalking us.
Donovan: But oh wait, we are actually here to feed my mother who is a werewolf. I made a promise to bring people to feed her at least once a year. Because. Werewolves only eat once a year apparently.
Others: Let's all go back to the car and let Lucy stay here to die even though she isn't dying. That makes sense. Wait, we have to get away from the car upon reaching it, the hunter tells us, even though he was trying to get us killed moments before and now wants to save us. (Wait...what?)
Donovan: Here you go Lucy, drink this magic werewolf spit, except it isn't werewolves, just some men fooling around outside.
Lucy: Donovan, you have no idea what is going on do you? I'm a werewolf. Growl. Grrr.
It's almost as if this was put together by six-year-olds, each in a different room and not knowing what the other was writing about and then they just put it together.
