RED RIDING HOOD
"RED RIDING HOOD"(2011/U.S.A)
Synopsis
Valerie is a beautiful young woman torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider, Peter, but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry. 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,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...
The several scenes of this movie paid homage to the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood". However this movie had a totally different story.
The residents of a village were afraid of a werewolf and the werewolf was living among the villagers. I was exicited to find who it was.
This movie was full of fantasy and the soundtrack was so cool. The fans of TWILIGHT must be angry with my opinion, but the story was not that interesting because I think it lacked the element of drama. I'm a fan of Gary Oldman, so I wanted him to be more active!
This movie's keyword was RED. The person who the werewolf bit in a red moon night would turn into a werewolf. Although all residents had plain clothes, the heroine wore a red hood. The heroine had inherited the blood of the werewolf so it made her apperance very impressive when she wore a red. Red is a very beautiful color but in this movie, this color was cursed.
By the way, I was impressed by her mysterious emerald eyes.
My rating:★★
