Red Riding Hood

Today I downloaded Red Riding Hood from iTunes (US)

Pretty girl Valerie is torn between 2 men...Peter, a brooding outsider and Henry, a wealthy man her parents have arranged for her to marry. Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they hear Valerie's sister has been killed by a werewolf that prowls the dark forest that surrounds the village.
The villagers had an uneasy true with the werewolf for years and offered it monthly animal sacrifices but under a blood red moon the beast has upped the stakes by taking a human life.
Wanting revenge, the village calls upon Father Solomon, a famed werewolf hunter, to kill the beast but Solomon's arrival has unintended consequences when he warns that the werewolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them.
As the death toll rises at every moon, Valerie has suspicions that the werewolf could be someone she loves and discovers she has a unique connection to the beast...making her suspect...and bait.

If you were expecting a story based on the fairy tale, don't get this movie, it's not what you'd expect...it's not quite the horror that some people tried to make it out to be either but more of a thriller with romantic overtones..  It has some interesting twists and turns and is a rather good movie, although I think it could have been a little better.

Red Riding Hood is rated 12 in the UK and will be available on BluRay, DVD and download on 22 August.
