Red Riding Hood (2011) 6/10

Starring : Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Billy Burke, Shiloh Fernandez, Max Irons
Director : Catherine Hardwicke
Running Time : 100 mins

Valerie (Seyfried) is in love with a young man named Peter (Fernandez), but her parents have already arranged for her marry another gentlemen, the well to do Henry (Irons). So the young lovers plan to run away, that is until Valerie hears the news that her older sister has been killed by what the villagers believe to be a werewolf, and what’s more they believe that the wolf is one of the villagers.

I thought this was going to be completely rubbish – instead it was jut okay. Seyfried pretty much puts no personality into the role, which is a shame because she was great in Mean Girls, but thankfully the supporting cast – including the always brilliant Gary Oldman – manage to save this otherwise mediocre effort.
