I tend to watch some movies that the other guys would never check out and this is probably one of them. My wife and I were discussing what to watch one night and it seemed there was nothing immediate to catch our attention, so after a little discussion we decided on this film. She said "I like fairy Tales and you like Amand Seyfried, so let's watch this one, it was decided. This is a spin on the classic fairy tale little red riding hood, as you may have suspected. RRH takes place in an old style village where there is a history of a Werewolf killing civilians for no reason. This has been going on for years and the village continuously leaves animal sacrifices to keep it at bay but this time he killed a young girl out after curfew, why was she out, this is where the story starts to unfold.
It seems everyone, including the werewolf, wanted to eat (Valerie, Little Red) Amanda Seyfried and to that I respond; Can you blame them? There is some sort of love triangle sub plot that is terrible but it helps divert attention to different wolf suspects. In steps Solomon (Gary Oldman) as a religious werewolf hunter, who has lost his family and has an ax to grind with the wolf. Solomon knows for some reason the Werewolf is among them and uses his deduction tactics to isolate the threats, killing and threatening anyone in his path. He is basically a mad priest. So basically the whole movie you are guessing who the Wolf is? Well who is it? I will not tell you, you will have to watch it to find out or Google it.
This movie was terrible and the only bright spot was Amanda Seyfried, not her acting but . Gary Oldman was almost bad in this one also, no he was bad but I think it was a bad role choice rather than bad acting. There was a strange face in the village that I had not seen for some time and that was boy star Lukas Haas, who seems to be trying to make a comeback. He has been seen in Inception and Red Riding Hood, recently Inception being a good choice and RRH a bad one. I do wish Haas some luck and I am always rooting for child stars to not go insane and at least function in society.
