Red Riding Hood

About This Movie

Red Riding Hood (2023) takes the classic tale and twists it into a chilling horror experience. The atmosphere is thick with dread, thanks to its dark, moody cinematography and haunting score. The pacing feels deliberate, building tension slowly, almost like a predator stalking its prey. Themes of innocence versus predation run deep, elevating the story beyond mere fright. Practical effects are used effectively here, bringing the wolf to life in ways that CGI often fails to capture, making it feel real and visceral. Performances are intriguing, particularly the tension between the young girl and the wolf, which adds layers. It’s not just a retelling; it’s a reimagining that feels modern yet respects the roots of the original tale.
