Rating: *1/2
What's it about: "What big teeth you have, Grandma", we all remember this line from the popular fable for every generation Red Riding Hood. But we never imagined purging the simple story of a girl conned by the big bad wolf would make fodderu00a0 for a sexual thriller. Valerie (Seyfried) is in love with Peter (Fernandez), but her parents disapprove. 
They want her married to someone with a better social status, Henry (Irons). Before you think it's a love triangle, there's a werewolf that attacks the village every full moon night.
Things get out of control when Valerie's sister gets killed by the creature. Enter Father Solomon (Gary Oldman) who's bought to control the werewolf problem. Who's the wolf underu00a0 sheep's skin ?
What's hot: If you can't wait till Breaking Dawn releases, then this could quench your thirst for some blood-sucking action. Peter and Henry seem like Edward-Jacob doubles, while Valerie has all the makings of a Bella Swan.
What's not: The plot is simply ridiculous. So much time is wasted in establishing the period (we don't know what it is!) and the place (something Scandinavian) . There's a huge Twilight hangover throught from the opening scene of the landscape to the Valerie's voiceover.

It's clear Hardwicke hasn't taken her departure from the Twilight series too well. We wish she had brought something new to the table. Instead, she proves why she's just a one-trick-pony. The dialogues have no connection to what's happening.
Since its marketed as a Red Riding Hood- inspired work, the characters try and keep reminding you the same with lines from the book. However, they are in no way related to the plot.
Poor Gary Oldman is reduced to play a garish caricature of a priest. He tries hard to fit in what looks like an artificial snow globe, but fails (thankfully).
What to do: Strictly for teenage girls who worship Twilight and swear by Justin Bieber! Others can happily skip this one big red mess.
