Critic Reviews

  • Trevor Johnston, Time Out

    Yes, there's enough connection with the source's underlying issues of repression and desire to give this reason to exist, but, boy, does Hardwicke labour in getting from fairy tale to would-be psycho-thriller.

  • David Denby, New Yorker

    More "Twilight" than Grimm, and a terrible mess.

  • Eric D. Snider, Film.com

    Hardwicke directed Twilight, you'll recall, and would apparently like to continue directing it, over and over again.

  • Rex Reed, New York Observer

    Catherine Hardwicke is Anne Rice with a camera.

  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

    Just when you think you've finished with one of these annoying franchises, another one pops up to plague you.

    Out of all the movies to rip-off, why rip-off "Twilight"? This film is neither scary nor romantic, it is just a painful bore-fest The only saving grace of this film is Gary Oldman, and that is only because his performance is so over-the-top that it is hilarious. This film… More

    I don't think anyone had any expectations for Red Riding Hood, so I wouldn't consider it as disappointing as say Cowboys and Aliens, but it's still awful and puts director Catherine Hardwicke firmly on the path to becoming the female Stephen Sommers. Essentially, Red… More

    This movie reminded me of Twilight. The acting was like Twilight, but the obsession with a boy was one of the main aspects of this movie that was just like Twilight. The girl had to choose between two boys the hot one and the rich one. It actually pretty much was Twilight except with… More
