Red Riding Hood

Gorgeous cinematography and a crimson moon highlight this lackluster, stylized thriller, adapted from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, in which a beautiful, red-caped blonde teenager (Amanda Seyfried), who lives with her parents (Virginia Madsen and Billy Burke) and is pursued by a smitten orphaned woodcutter (Shiloh Fernandez) and a blacksmith (Max Irons), becomes the target of an investigation by a visiting ruthless, widowed priest (Gary Oldman) and his henchmen (Adrian Holmes, et al.) when medieval villagers (Julie Christie, Lukas Haas, Michael Hogan, Cole Heppell, Christine Willes, Michael Shanks, Kacey Rohl, et al.) find themselves terrorized by a blood-thirsty werewolf during the 3-day phase of the blood moon.
