Sjhm A cast that tries its best despite what has to be the weakest script in creation. Some dodgy CGI. Unfortunately the leading actress does not convince, Felicia Day's expression basically remains exactly the same throughout, and her chemistry with her fiancé is almost non-existent.The pluses, the villain is excellent, sinister and menacing enough without being too hammy, and the premise, it's a good one. That was the most frustrating part of the film, the potential to be good, if strictly B Movie hammy, was utterly wasted in the rather lacklustre direction and a script that kept running out of ideas. Even the action scenes lacked propulsion. The climactic fight was mostly anti-climactic, and with the conclusion to that fight being pretty much telegraphed before it began, using the great circle method of ending a story (grandma dying whilst killing a werewolf kicks off the opening scenes child Red picks up a silver knife, ending the film with grandma dying is supposed to pack an emotional punch, because now Adult descendant Red has to decide what she is going to do about fiancé who killed grandma) only works if there have been enough emotional punches along the way to set up their final tragic encounter. There weren't. By this time you are actually rooting for the fiancé who was dragged into this mess by Red in the first place. She kills him. But she's been bitten. The final scene is clearly supposed to be a few years later and we see Red reading to a little girl on the couch. Presumably this is Red's little girl by dead fiancé, but when we last saw Red she was bitten, so she's a werewolf? At this point it was impossible to care. I love hammy creature features, but this didn't even slip into the 'so bad it's good' category.

Wuchak "Red: Werewolf Hunter" (2010) Stars Felicia Day as a modern descendant of Little Red Riding Hood, who brings her fiancé home to meet her family. It turns out that they're all very unique hunters and, before too long, Red is trying to protect her fiancé from her family!Although this is a Syfy film, I found it entertaining enough and entertainment is the name of the game. The characters & locations are good and effects are decent; the story keeps your attention, and Felicia looks really good in tight jeans.The film runs 88 minutes and was shot in the Toronto area.GRADE: B-

Girlycard L While I hadn't expected much going in, I did expect this movie to either maintain a steady theme of mundane, or be laughably poorly directed. What I got was a mix of both.The story was ripe with plot holes and confusion from the start, with an incredibly clueless main actor, and a main actress who should have been able to act much better than what she delivered. The supposed werewolf hunters may literally be blind, since they don't even notice when a werewolf is transforming a few feet away from them. None of their weapons look anything short of comical, and none of the hunters know how to handle the weapons.That being said, while watching it I could barely even bring myself to criticize the horrible acting, or moronic dialog, or even the plot, because they all blended together to create one mind-numbing, boring mess.The only (and I mean ONLY) good quality about this movie was the antagonist, who showed a fair amount of acting talent.I personally would have deleted everything except around 5 minutes of footage. Overall, this movie has a few rare moments of quality, but spends most of its time lulling the audience to sleep, and isn't worth watching.

zeliff-283-336653 You can't compare B movies -- low budget, largely unheard-off actors, and simplistic scripts -- with mainstream movies. But as a grade B movie goes this one is pretty darn good. Way above the usual made-for- SyFy fare.As someone else said, the dialog is weak and Felicia Day's delivery is just plain flat. She really isn't a strong enough actress to lead the cast. The evolution of the romantic angle was predictable but there were enough plot twists to hold my interest. The sets and lighting were pretty good; the filmmakers resisted the temptation to build artificial suspense by shooting everything in perpetual darkness.Overall, a good fun B movie.
