Not that bad a movie. You have the descendants of the original Red Riding Hood who are continuing the fight against werewolves. That is what killed her granny and she saw it happen. Granny manages to kill the werewolf with a silver knife and this starts the adventure. Coming home with her fiancée the current Red (the first born daughter in each generation) learns that the current crop of wolfies have broken the truce that has been in place. They were suppose to lock themselves up during the full moon and stay with in certain boundaries. Also there is Gabriel, a werewolf who has learned to change at will. He then teaches others to do the same. So the fiancée gets bit by Gabriel but is undiscovered until the next full moon. So they cage him. The family now goes on a wipe them out hunt. This ends in both the brothers killed and granma too. Red is the last but she manages to kill seemingly every one of the wolfies including Gabriel. This includes her fiancée who has apparently killed granma when he broke out of the cage. Now Red has been bitten I guess but she is shown at the very end of the film reading to her daughter about their heritage. If she was bitten what happened? How did she have a kid? Hoping for a sequel?
... View MoreWhile I hadn't expected much going in, I did expect this movie to either maintain a steady theme of mundane, or be laughably poorly directed. What I got was a mix of both.The story was ripe with plot holes and confusion from the start, with an incredibly clueless main actor, and a main actress who should have been able to act much better than what she delivered. The supposed werewolf hunters may literally be blind, since they don't even notice when a werewolf is transforming a few feet away from them. None of their weapons look anything short of comical, and none of the hunters know how to handle the weapons.That being said, while watching it I could barely even bring myself to criticize the horrible acting, or moronic dialog, or even the plot, because they all blended together to create one mind-numbing, boring mess.The only (and I mean ONLY) good quality about this movie was the antagonist, who showed a fair amount of acting talent.I personally would have deleted everything except around 5 minutes of footage. Overall, this movie has a few rare moments of quality, but spends most of its time lulling the audience to sleep, and isn't worth watching.
... View MoreThis is obviously something that must have had a half-life on the Sci-Fi channel and it shows. There are these breaks where they obviously were supposed to put in the commercials. No nudity or profanity and pretty toned down violence. Skiffy all the way.So the plot is the descendants of Little Red all gather together at a house the same weekend the Werewolves decide to break the truce and start attacking people again.So poor quality CGI abounds.But I'll give the movie its props for some okay acting, tight story progression and a bad guy who looked like a real bad guy.worth a rental? Only out of a Red Box.
... View MoreI 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!
