RED RIDING HOOD (2011)
SYNOPSIS
Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) is a beautiful young woman
torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding
outsider Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), but her parents have
arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max
Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter
are planning to run away together when they learn that
Valerie's older sister has been killed by the werewolf
that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village.
For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce
with the beast, offering the creature a monthly animal
sacrifice. But under a blood red moon, the wolf has
upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for
revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter,
Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), to help them kill the
wolf. But Solomon's arrival brings unintended
consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes
human form by day, could be any one of them. As the
death toll rises with each moon, Valerie begins to
suspect that the werewolf could be someone she
loves. Panic grips the town as Valerie discovers that
she has a unique connection to the beast-one that
inexorably draws them together, making her both
suspect...and bait.-- (C) Warner Bros.
