Red Riding Hood, Review

Set in a medieval village that is haunted by a werewolf, a young girl falls for an orphaned woodcutter, much to her family's displeasure.

REVIEW:
There are many reasons I decided to watch this movie, but the main ones are the unique plot, because I've never heard before in a story that the wolf was actually a werewolf, and the cast, from which basically I only knew Amanda Seyfried from her previous works.

The bad things on the movie was the beginning of it. The way the director shows the scenes and the places is similar to the ones in Twilight, since the director is the same. Another thing that kept that similarity was Valerie's dad, who was the same as Bella's dad (Billy Burke). Both similarities made me get bored and it was the beginning of the movie. Besides that, let me just mention something about the special effects, though I'm not an expert, that they looked like those in Twilight.

The good things were the ones that made me feel bad for getting bored and stuck in the drawbacks, because the movie was really good. The fact that you only find out who's the werewolf at the end was presented so good. Basically we had no idea who was the werewolf, because there are many suspects and each and every one of them could easily be it. Seriously now, we were four girls each with another character in our mind and none of us was true. The actors were all really good and they could easily transfer you their feelings. Lastly, for those who wonder, the movie was slightly scary and there was no sex scenes in it, the trailer just misleads you.

Bottom line, I liked it and enjoyed it,mostly because I saw it on the cinema. And I will totally recommend you this one.
