Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAmanda Seyfried had a bad experience with Shiloh Fernandez at a dinner party, so Catherine Hardwicke had to persuade the actress to give him a chance.
- GoofsAs this village is small and poor, there is no way all of the villagers would be able to afford to put glass in every window. In the middle ages glass windows were expensive and usually only the rich could afford them. Poor villagers would have normally used dried animal skins scraped very thin to block a window and allow some light into a house.
- Crazy creditsAfter the credits a werewolf suddenly appears and lunges at the camera
- Alternate versionsThere is an alternate cut of the film that is twenty six seconds longer.

Featured review
Mix of teen movie romance and murder rampage
Red Riding Hood is like a mix of Twilight and Gary Oldman villainy. There's a young adult naive romance to it and then it takes a turn into 1600s-1700s psychosis and witch paranoia, blood and torture. And then it goes back again.
It's a fascinating mix of genres that honestly I did enjoy. There's potential in the film and I wish that it did just have that extra finesse to make it more of a timeless film. The attempt to twist the little red riding hood tale into something different was commendable, but sometimes veered too far into teen fiction territory.
Part of the reason for my low rating is that the final unveiling of who the wolf is didn't quite ring true as the clues didn't line up in a satisfactory way. And also some of the actions the wolf did which were uncovered at the end seemed unnecessary.
Props to Gary Oldman for his scenes and being a hateful fear mongerer.
Bonus trivia one of the actors from Twilight is actually in the film, Charlie, Bella's dad from the story.
