I was expecting greatness, because the movie trailers for Red Riding Hood look gorgeous. But the Wolf will not be stopped, not until it gets what he wants: Valerie. The Wolf lives among them in human form, when knowledge of that spreads around town, paranoia runs free (“you’re the Wolf,” “No, you’re the Wolf you have funky eyes,”), accusations are made, and people are tortured. Still, (while all this is going on) the village calls in back-up to kill the Wolf. But Peter and Valerie are in love with each other (childhood sweethearts, which seems a bit cliché to me). Henry is forcing her to marry him (an arranged marriage-it doesn’t seem as bad as it sounds, especially when Henry is the town hunk).


Lucie is everyone’s favorite, but when the Wolf kills Lucie, Valerie’s life will never be the same. Valerie has always been the other sister. Everyone knows the story of Little Red Riding Hood, right? Well, in this movie-made-book, the story of Little Red Riding Hood gets revamped.
