Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved her, who wore a red hat given to her by her grandmother, so everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood. One day, when she went to deliver food to her grandmother, Little Red Riding Hood left the road and met a wolf in the forest path. The wolf tricked Little Red Riding Hood into picking wild flowers. He ran to the hut in the forest and ate her grandmother and pretended to be a grandmother. When Little Red Riding Hood came, the wolf ate her too.

Later, people used Little Red Riding Hood as a metaphor for a child who was naive and easy to be deceived. There are more than one hundred versions of this Grimm's fairy tale. In some versions, Little Red Riding Hood has even become a sexy girl full of eroticism.

When I listened to this story when I was young, I just remembered the lesson not to believe in the big bad wolf, but the fairy tales did not tell us how to distinguish the bad guys simulated by the big bad wolf in real life. "Who is the big bad wolf?" So, from this perspective, the movie version of "Little Red Riding Hood" is novel and unique in concept.

It's dark, everyone closes their eyes, the big bad wolf comes out to kill, it's dawn, everyone opens their eyes, and someone is dead...

Different from the preschool style of fairy tales, the movie can go to the adult route or even the restricted level. , The tone of this film is also very adult, adding more magical effects and thrilling suspense plot.

Of course, you can't expect the plot to be comparable to those detective blockbusters, and the effect to be comparable to those magical masterpieces, but as an improved version of adult fairy tales, it will still be a lot of relief. And, think about it carefully, how can such a realistic and cruel scary story be suitable for children to tell? It’s long overdue to make a more adult-oriented one for re-education in adolescence!

However, in order to cater to the original fairy tale, the plot of having to smash the stone in the end is a bit silly. Also, even if the two boys are both handsome, the kind of love shots with a big red blanket in the snow, biting and gnawing, is too harmonious.

The director has directed the role of Catherine Hardwick in "Twilight". She is quite able to stick to her own style of choosing themes. She lives and reproduces this "Little Red Riding Hood" according to the vampire's love routine. I don't know if she has any. Interest then brought up a series of fairy loli and witch Alice.

In the distracting impression, there is a plot where the hero and heroine kills a white rabbit when he was a child: When you see life, you stop your hand, and when you see desire, you are cruel. hand. I don't know why, after watching it for a long time, I still remember this small secondary plot.
