Amongst the slew of new images we’ve been featuring here at the Horror Asylum today comes a range of new official stills from ‘Twilight’ director Catherine Hardwicke’s new ‘teen-aimed’ flick ‘Red Riding Hood’. The movie starring Amanda Seyfried and Gary Oldman, which Warner Bros are laughably pushing out to the teen market and attempting to avoid as much ‘horror’ connection as possible, arrives next Friday in US theatres. Lukas Haas (‘Inception’), Billy Burke (‘Drive Angry 3D’), Virginia Madsen (‘Candyman’), Shiloh Fernandez, Max Irons, Michael Hogan and Julie Christie all co-star.
Head on over to ShockTillYourDrop for the full ‘Red Riding Hood’ gallery.
“In “Red Riding Hood,” Seyfried plays Valerie, a beautiful young woman torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider, Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie’s older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village. For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, offering the creature a monthly animal sacrifice. But under a blood red moon, the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), to help them kill the wolf. But Solomon’s arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon, Valerie begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves. As panic grips the town, Valerie discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast–one that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect…and bait.”
‘Red Riding Hood’ arrives in the US from 11 March and on 15 April in the UK.
