Little Red (II) (2012) User Reviews

Breathtaking

[lil_moe · 17 May 2015]

It's a bit depressing that almost 3 years after this movie was released, only 12 IMDb members have rated it. Little Red is a modern adaptation of the famous Little Red Riding Hood tale. Ruth, aka Red (Hannah Obst), is an 11 year old girl from Milwaukee who's forced by her parents to go to girls' winter camp. On a whim, she decides to change her plane to go to Florida and ultimately to fulfill her dream of seeing wild horses running on the beach of Cumberland Island. However, Red gets noticed by a predator (Mark Metcalf) who decides he will stop at nothing to get his sick desires with Little Red. I say again it's depressing that only 12 people viewed the movie because, to me, it was beyond superb. The acting isn't anything special but you can tell everyone is doing their absolute best. The fact that the protagonist is played by a child who has never acted before or since is incredible. Mark Metcalf was overwhelmingly menacing and creepy. The exterior shots were great. All in all, a very solid movie considering it must have been done on a shoe lace budget. I'd recommend this film to anyone who isn't squeamish about exploring the depths of child molestation and pre-teen psyche. 7/10

Don't waste 2hrs of your life.

Did any one else feel like slapping this girl "red"? Honestly a complete flop. Found myself skipping through the movie. It was all over the place. Basically a spoiled 11yr old upset she didn't get her way. Boo.

I wanted my money back except

Watched this tonight 05Aug2019 at a free film club screening. The photo was promising and I thought this was some German/European production with some clever take on the famous tale but all the menace of a sexual predation slant was merely implied. It must be a shoestring budget because the grandma and huntsman were noticeably absent. It may have passed if it was a 1970's production but it fails miserably by 2012 standards. Cheap, corny, painful and indulgent. No redeeming value except the really creepy wolf character. You are better off listening to Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs -Little Red Riding Hood.
