Red Riding Hood

Neil Jordan’s 1984 feminist fairy tale The Company Of Wolves may have lacked a sense of humour, but it was visually stunning and accurately reflected the Gothic eroticism of Angela Carter, on whose story it was based.
Catherine Hardwicke’s Red Riding Hood is a hopelessly unerotic, botched attempt to do something similar but dumber: turn the traditional fairy tale into a droopy love story for 11-year-old fans of Twilight.
Amanda Seyfried, looking more than usually bug-eyed, as though she is staring in order to keep herself awake, is uninterestingly torn between rival hunks who seem to have wandered in from a GQ photoshoot. Shiloh Fernandez is a bad-boy woodcutter and Max Irons the good-guy blacksmith.
