Red Riding Hood

[andrews]

The film is set in the medieval village of Daggerhorn. A young woman named Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) plans to run away with her woodcutter lover, an outsider named Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), in order to avoid an arranged marriage to Henry Lazar (Max Irons). Valerie and Peter's plan to elope is forestalled when Valerie's older sister is found slaughtered by the mysterious werewolf that has terrorized their village for years. The people of Daggerhorn have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast by offering the creature a monthly animal sacrifice. But under a blood-red moon, the werewolf ups the stakes and takes a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people summon a famed Witchfinder General, Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), to help them track down and kill the beast. Solomon’s arrival, however, brings unintended consequences, as he warns that the werewolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon and 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.

I shall hold my hand up and admit that I would like to see this.

It will probably be bad and receive terrible reviews but I'm still keen to see this new version of a classic story.

Thanks for posting the Red Riding Hood competition Andrews, I think there's a problem with the site at the moment, as there is meant to be a competition question, but it's not showing at the moment.

She should be banned from being an actress. She can't act to save her life.

She looks surprised/scared/like she forgot her line constantly.. Or just constipated.
