WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Taco Johnson This film, Red Riding Hood, was one of the best rental choices I ever made: when I told the manager of the video rental store what I thought about it, she then offered to give me another rental for free.This film is about a little girl - as played by Ken Shamrock - who, in cahoots with her evil mutant dog monster pet - also played by Ken Shamrock - go around administering their interpretation of "justice." For example, the only appropriate response to the crime of stealing an $8 bottle of wine is to stab the thief! Right through the spine, the heart, the sternum and the hand (over the sternum - possibly the "actress" having a heart attack that she was in a movie this bad). Another example, as punishment for renting this terrible movie, you are forced to listen to boring, endless rants and painful camera shifts around Miss Unibrow, the nickname that my roommates and I gave to Mr. Shamrock's character.I distinctly remember that I specifically did not return this movie to the video store - I burned it down, shattered the DVD, and then hid it all across the city in which I live. If you want to lose friends or kill a relative with a weak heart, rent this one. It's for you.
ThrownMuse This is a retelling of the classic fairytale. Here, Little Red Riding Hood is an obnoxious spoiled brat who is best friends with "the Wolf" (a mysterious figure with a cap and wolf mask, who she believes is her, well, dog.) Instead of venturing out to visit Grandma, they live with her keep her captive, torturing her. Think "Freeway" meets "Misery." I really wanted to love this movie, but I couldn't because the lead actress was so terrible and obnoxious, performing as if she were in a junior high school play. I'm not sure if the ending is a joke that misfired, but I didn't think it was amusing. If you like twisted fairy tales, you probably want to check this out, but be warned, it can get very grating at times.
gavin6942 A young girl is all alone in Rome after her father (a politician) passes away. When her grandmother comes to take her away ,the girl has other plans. Little does granny know, but the girl is a vigilante who fights injustice at night in a red riding hood.First, let me say this: 92 minutes, my eye! It felt like I was there for three hours suffering through this. How many ways can I spell out boring? Despite watching this with a group of friends (including three lovely ladies) I just couldn't wait for it to be over.Now, granted, some death scenes were alright. The liquor bottle in the face, the use of peanut butter to cause an allergic reaction. Nice ideas. And as a philosopher, I loved the idea of using a Kant book to alert authorities to your whereabouts. But beyond that, I think this film was lacking.First, the thought of a young girl being this self-sufficient is absurd. Maybe Punky Brewster could do it, but in Rome? This made the rest sort of hard to believe. And the crimes she gets vengeance for -- I think she's a little bit over-reacting. I've already commented on the pacing, but it bears repeating.I disliked the advertising. We got a picture of a sexy, sassy vixen on a bike... and the film had a girl who was maybe 12 at most. The wolf shows up, but really has nothing to do with the film, or at least not enough to be really enjoyable. The red riding hood theme was very nice (I'm a collector of red riding hood paintings myself) but I think it was simply not well presented.So we have decent deaths, slow plot, respectable acting... all in all nothing beyond mediocrity (though, I suppose, certainly not complete rubbish). I wouldn't recommend this one to you -- I don't ever want to see it again if I can help it. But if your goal is to watch the worst and most boring horror films ever made, you could do worse than this one.
kingmattress I'm gonna lay out the ground info on myself so that I don't end up getting accused of "not getting it." I am a serious horror movie buff. And I love cheese. Some of my favorite movies are the Evil Dead films. This film... It's bad. Really, really bad.I'll start with the story: psychotic 12 year old in Rome tries to exact violent justice upon those who break the law or sin with the help of George, a puppy of hers who grew up... into a human in a white Anubis mask. She does this because she thinks her dead dad would want that. Her grandmother shows up, wanting to bring her to New York, so she tortures her. Oh, and she's in love with her tutor. Did I mention George? That thing made me hostile it was so tacky. It was literally explained as "Remember George? He grew up." That's a direct movie quote explaining a seven foot tall man in an Anubis mask who kills. There's sort of an interesting sub-plot that as the movie progresses, the kills and fights that the little girl causes are more personal, and less for justice like originally, which shows that her perception's becoming more distorted. Then again, it's entirely possible that that wasn't the original idea and I desperately made it up to try to salvage this movie.The acting is pretty awful too. The little girl is truly, utterly bad, to the point where it's annoying. Which is too bad, because she's the main character and you're always seeing her. Nobody else is any good either. Doesn't matter though, because the sound recording is so low that there are times you can't even here what the actors are saying. The filming quality is similar. It's all done in painfully obvious 8mm. Evil Dead was done on similar film, and really, you could hardly tell. It was made 20 years before this movie. Come on now.The production value was just as laughable. In one particularly funny bit, the tutor, Tom, is on the phone, and the phone has no cord. I guess they wanted a cordless phone, but simply couldn't afford one.All in all, I watched this movie with some friends, and it took us about 10 minutes until I finally blurted "What the hell did we just watch?" See it only if you're a horror movie completist when visiting Blockbuster.
