Lack of good storyline.
Am I Missing Something?
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
View MoreExcellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
View MoreI will try not to spoil too much of the plot, although I am not sure how much that matters with this film. In the small Appalachian town of St. Illwater, Pennsylvania, just a stone's throw from Mildred's 24 hour diner, lives Esmerelda Winfield (Marina Sirtis in a role that screams for Dee Wallace) and her granddaughter Samantha (Bianca A. Santos- see DVD cover). Granny is the protector of the people from wolves, something she passes on to her Samantha to fulfill her destiny...like after she is killed by a wolf in the first scene. The zombie Red Riding Hood comes out of the grave to fight against shape-shifting werewolves because flame throwers and automatic weapons are useless against them...Apparently you need +5 red cloak armor and a +6 wolf sword.This is an Asylum film, which should say it all. Low budget, bad acting, bad script, but somehow pop culturally entertaining as it mixes Zombies, Werewolves, and Little Red Riding Hood in a rather bad fashion making a statement about who are... or not. There were no vampires or Wookies. Hopefully they will combine this film with their Hansel and Gretal series (that explains why no Dee Wallace) to make a super bad, but entertaining film series..."Wolfnado" anyone? Dialogue includes bits and pieces of humor.This film is not for everyone. Just for Asylum bad film fans.F-bomb, sex, nudity ( Ashley Doris- Miss March 2013)
View MoreI was flipping through Netflix, and saw that Eric Balfour was in this movie, since I have enjoyed everything I've seen him in, I decided to give this one a watch. If you are afraid of dogs (that were supposed to be wolves), you will probably not like this one. For the most part, when they were attacking, it actually looked real. And when they showed their teeth and were snarling/growling, yea, that could freak someone out with a dog phobia.The acting was pretty good, and the storyline was believable (for a horror movie). The gore was also decent, nothing really extravagant. The one part that I didn't feel was needed for the movie was to have the sheriff's kids come to town. Nothing much happened to them that added to the movie. They didn't get kidnapped or killed, and the one scene that involved the girl and a wolf, really didn't add anything.When the monster wolf changed back to human, the transformation was pretty cool. You could see the multiple teats, which I don't really remember often seeing on other werewolf movies. If you enjoy werewolf movies, I would say to give this one a watch.
View MoreThis movie seems much more like a conversation with high/drunk friends that somehow actually got made rather than a realised idea for an actual story. Someone said: "Man there should be a film led by a cool female lead...and she should be like Blade, but also powerful, like a werewolf...and tragic, like she dies...but then she comes back!...So she should be like a vampire, werewolf, zombie chick, but hot, definitely hot...and she should be based on some kick-ass fairy tale babe, like little red riding hood, killing wolves and all that...oh my god! She could kill werewolves!" And then someone else was like: "Done."Unfortunately rather than writing the whole thing while high/drunk so it becomes some crazy, wacky cult classic, they instead sobered up and tried to give some legitimacy to their idea by giving it a serious plot, which becomes ludicrous in conjuncture with such a concept. The actors all trying to play the entire thing straight makes it way more boring and way more unintentionally stupid than it needs to be.Overall this film is simply a 'cool' sounding concept with very little actual entertainment. It comes across as a quick cash grab with an inane plot, although it is filmed well and the actors aren't too bad so it can't be completely condemned. If you just want to turn your brain off then go for it, but even in those regards this film could have exploited its premise to make it a much more enjoyable brainless watch.
View MoreYou know those films you watch when your brain needs a rest and you just want something to watch to help pass time and entertain you enough to get through to the end of the film, well add this to that list. a small town finds out that there is sinister activity going on and the town is under threat from wolves, its a decent attempt of a concept film and some scenes are well shot and with a good cast behind it with the likes of Eric Balfour (haven,24,skyline) Patrick Muldoon (starship troopers, stigmata) and Bianca A Santos ( the DUff, Ouija) it should of been much better but unfortunately its not. some action scenes feel like they were shot by someone who is being electrocuted but like i said above if your brain wants a rest then yeah go for this film and with a run time of 88 minutes its just right.
