Boba_Fett1138 This movie is a failed attempt at trying to be something original and creative. In essence, the idea behind it all seemed to be good enough but the execution of it all is really poor.Yes, this movie really could had worked out well but it does so much wrong however. First of all the movie seems to be missing a good and clear approach of things. I just don't know how to regard this movie. Was it a fantasy movie? Was it an horror? Was it an artistic movie? Problem probably is that the movie tried to be all but it's working out on neither department. It's lacking the required touch, look and feel to make this movie work out as a good fantasy movie and it's simply not being imaginative for that. As an horror it's simply not good enough, since its lacking in all of its build up and tension and for an artistic movie it simply doesn't have any artistic value to it. This is also because the movie was a very cheap one to make but that simply isn't an excuse for the film-makers not trying to be more daring and creative, with both its visuals and story. The story just never really explains anything and basically it has little to nothing to do with the famous story of Red Riding Hood. I still have no idea why the girl in this movie was being such a murderous, very young, psychopath. My guess is that it really was the film-makers initial intention to turn this into a dark and modern fairy tale but sad thing is that they had no idea how to achieve this. It really makes this such a pointless movie to watch, that is lacking in a clear purpose and also simply doesn't entertaining enough to make this movie worthwhile watching.What also really makes this movie bad to watch is its acting. It's not only just that most of the actors within this movie can't act well enough but basically everybody seems to be miscast in their roles as well. Kathleen Archebald really didn't had neither the looks, charisma or right required acting skills to make her character work out. And she really is the main character of the movie, that basically has to carry the entire movie and tells everything from her viewpoint. Better luck next time I guess...4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

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.

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.
