PLOT:

Don't be too excited kids! This is no ordinary fairy tale. This is a horror, mystery film where you can see werewolf instead of a wolf with a funny hat.

Amanda Seyfried plays Valerie, a beautiful young red-cape-wearing innocent living in a medieval village terrorized by a werewolf, who is torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider, Peter (Shiloh Fernandez) but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max 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 (Gary 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 she has a unique connection to the beast – one that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect and bait.

NEWS: 

Red Riding Hood is an upcoming American horror film directed by Catherine Hardwicke, produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, from a screenplay by David Leslie Johnson. It is very loosely based on the folk tale Little Red Riding Hood collected by both Charles Perrault under the name "Le Petit Chaperon Rouge" (Little Red Riding Hood) and several decades later by the Brothers Grimm as "Rotkäppchen" (Redcap). The film also draws inspiration from the 1984 film 'The Company of Wolves'.
