Profile of Red Riding Hood

The mood of Red Riding Hood is scary and suspenseful. The plot centers around deadly creatures, supernatural occurences, and village life. It is a horror and fantasy movie. Stylistically, Red Riding Hood is gothic and is fairytale-like. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It takes place, at least partly, in the woods and in a village. Red Riding Hood happens in the middle ages. It is drawn from a folktale. Note that it includes sexual content and violent content.

Summary of Red Riding Hood

Valerie (Seyfried) is a beautiful young woman torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider, Peter (Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie's older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village. For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, offering the creature a monthly animal sacrifice. But under a blood red moon, the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Oldman), to help them kill the wolf. But Solomon's arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon, Valerie begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves. As panic grips the town, Valerie discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast--one that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect...and bait.

Bad
Red Riding Hood is a really awful film. Like so many of this “epic for teens” films of recent times.
Way too serious
Red Riding Hood looks like Vampires Suck. And that’s an embarrassing thing to say about a film that tries so hard to be serious and epic. The end result is a pathetic, awkward effort that feels like the step-sibling of the awful Twilight series
Likely to see
Not for me
