Little Dead Rotting Hood (2016)

Very disappointing...

Redundant and unnecessary.

Please don't spend money on this.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Overall, I enjoyed this movie. The premise wasn't bad, if a little thin, and there are some super long scenes which make you wish that they would get to the point. I would have liked them to have developed the plot line whereby the heart of the story had some more explanation. ***spoiler*** The girl dies in the first few frames of the film, her grandmother buries her and then commits suicide over her grave, giving the body the lifeblood she needs to resurrect. So Little Dead Rotting Hood of the title crawls out of the grave, apparently knowing she had to find super-secret Grandma's note book, but not retrieve Grandma's red cloak and sword...Quite a lot of the action takes place before LDRH actually gets into her stride, there's the addition of a mysterious female character who's supposed to mis-direct you but has little to do other than serve as a plot signpost and you see through her in about three minutes. The same with the ultimate villain character, she knows too much to be exactly what she appears to be, there just seems to be something too off about her to be a credible surprise.Eric Balfour does not disgrace himself in a part which is the everyman heart of the story, divorced dad, two children, argumentative wife, local boy smarts, all the usual boxes are ticked, but he still manages to bring some empathy and intelligence to the role.

I was flipping through Netflix, and saw that Eric Balfour was in this movie, since I have enjoyed everything I've seen him in, I decided to give this one a watch. If you are afraid of dogs (that were supposed to be wolves), you will probably not like this one. For the most part, when they were attacking, it actually looked real. And when they showed their teeth and were snarling/growling, yea, that could freak someone out with a dog phobia.The acting was pretty good, and the storyline was believable (for a horror movie). The gore was also decent, nothing really extravagant. The one part that I didn't feel was needed for the movie was to have the sheriff's kids come to town. Nothing much happened to them that added to the movie. They didn't get kidnapped or killed, and the one scene that involved the girl and a wolf, really didn't add anything.When the monster wolf changed back to human, the transformation was pretty cool. You could see the multiple teats, which I don't really remember often seeing on other werewolf movies. If you enjoy werewolf movies, I would say to give this one a watch.

Simply put... I LIKED this movie. I'm SOOOOO not into horror movies but the action added in to the horror element makes this a very good watch. Not for children, but good story and kept me guessing... who lives? who dies? who's the "badguy?" Nice twist and well put together. Character development and acting definitely on par. Hope there will be a sequel because the possibilities for more development are surely in place, Comics? Novels? Maybe a video game? Nice use of blood and gore and guts (and sex) without taking it to the level of cheesiness. The kind of movie I wish I could produce myself. New word comes out of this... CREXY, ... crazy + sexy = crexy.

You know those films you watch when your brain needs a rest and you just want something to watch to help pass time and entertain you enough to get through to the end of the film, well add this to that list. a small town finds out that there is sinister activity going on and the town is under threat from wolves, its a decent attempt of a concept film and some scenes are well shot and with a good cast behind it with the likes of Eric Balfour (haven,24,skyline) Patrick Muldoon (starship troopers, stigmata) and Bianca A Santos ( the DUff, Ouija) it should of been much better but unfortunately its not. some action scenes feel like they were shot by someone who is being electrocuted but like i said above if your brain wants a rest then yeah go for this film and with a run time of 88 minutes its just right.
