Critic Reviews

  • 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.

  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

    If you're a Twilight fan, you may feel as though you've already seen this. And if you're not, well, why would you be interested in something like this at all?

    Went in with extremely low expectations on this one. I am not sold yet on Amanda Seyfried but she could turn out to be a decent actress. Gary Oldman as always was awesome and that alone notched up the film for me.

    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

    This could have been really bad. But it was allright. A interesting take on the old story. The directing, art directing and cinematography is looking good. It's pretty much Twilight. But they changed the vampires for a wolf. It was done with care.
