Red: Werewolf Hunter

"Red: Werewolf Hunter" (2010) Stars Felicia Day as a modern descendant of Little Red Riding Hood, who brings her fiancé home to meet her family. It turns out that they're all very unique hunters and, before too long, Red is trying to protect her fiancé from her family!

Although this is a Syfy film, I found it entertaining enough and entertainment is the name of the game. The characters & locations are good and effects are decent; the story keeps your attention, and Felicia looks really good in tight jeans.

The film runs 88 minutes and was shot in the Toronto area.

GRADE: B-

I really do NOT understand why people insist on watching movies that they know are movie of the week, straight to DVD, cable flicks or in this case SyFy movies and then complain about the production value, or the low budget.

Red: Werewolf Hunter IS a SyFy movie. It probably did not have a huge budget. It is still a very enjoyable film! A terrific cast including Felicia Day, Kavan Smith, Greg Bryk, and Stephen McHattie each delivered terrific overall performances. The premise was a new take on the Red Riding Hood theme and while a little underdeveloped is really a great idea. The special effects/ CGI were better then the other reviews may have you believe, and fun to watch.

My advise is to watch this with an open mind. Know when you begin that this is a SyFy movie and was probably made for less then James Cameron spent on his toilet paper when filming Avatar. It is not supposed to win Oscars. It is supposed to entertain, thrill and maybe scare you.

A terrific Friday night flick. Hire this with Dog Soldiers, The Howling, Teen Wolf, and The Wolfman, call over some friends, order some pizza, grab a few six packs and settle in for a fun night. Just not during a full moon!

I don't normally post anything, let alone opinions, but this made for TV drek is a sure travesty of good talent. I LOVE Felicia Day, and waited with bated breath for this, along with Kavan Smith, deputy Andy from Eureka, another favorite of mine also gave me high hopes! But this film fell very short, so very short. Bad dialogue, stilted acting and horrible CGI werewolves, made this tough to sit thru. Please have the director taken out and flogged! Felicia Day and the rest of the cast maintained a dull monotone that was (I guess) supposed to set a somber tone, and the entire movie takes place on three sets, repeating set pieces over and over again from the same angle, never varying once!

the rest of the cast seemed to shamble along like zombies with hardly any emotion, keep in mind comedic actors have proved time and again that they have remarkable timing. If given a halfway decent script, they should have been able to do something with this. Don't get me started on the stick figure werewolves that we were to be afraid of. Steven McHattie is a veteran bad guy, his character was soooooo bad it hurt to watch. Again i loved the stars, and the premise, but the director really bungled this

Nerd heartthrob Felicia Day stars as Red, a werewolf hunter who finds herself at odds with her werewolf hunting family when her fiancé turns in this ridiculous Syfy film that 'updates' the Little Red Rding Hood story.

Cheap, needlessly melodramatic, and pretty much uninteresting all the way around. Even the normally entertaining Day is pretty bad here. Writers Angela Mancuso and Brook Durham would later further subject hapless Syfy viewers with another, somehow more atrocious, fairy tell updating with the awful "Witchslayer Gretl"

My Grade: D

Stephen Hattie is back as a werewolf, but this time he's the bad guy, and is opposed by a family of human werewolf hunters. The main hunter is a woman code-named "Red", and she is a special agent for some alphabet government agency. She has a boyfriend who she is bringing to meet the family (the remaining members of which are her 2 brothers and her grandmother, a former "Red"). They have the moral conundrum of whether to tell him about what they do, or not. Our lead werewolf has learned to control his changing, not just on the full moon. He trains the pack he took over (by killing the previous Alpha) and breaks the truce. The brothers are shown to be very competent, until it's time to kill them off. Decent effects, decent acting, obvious plot with a bit of a twist ending. Not bad, but not great eaither. Fun for a werewolf marathon.
