Too much of everything

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's not anything like the fairytale. I admit this film was terrible and lacked a story, badly edited and some strangeness that doesn't make sense. It wasn't really a film but a play done by a few people on low budget. Even though it was a bad film, it was quite entertaining with some beautiful scenes of the forest and castle. We have Red Riding Hood that wanders alone through a forest, on the way to visit her sick gran. She's warned not to go further into the forest by an undead knight who lives inside the trees. She's scared of him and rans through the forest, but encounters a werewolf, who chases her to the castle. Once she's inside, werewolf is afraid to go near it.
In the castle, we're wondering about the horned Master who keeps prisoners, and only grunts. There are two sirens, a monster and a princess who are the Masters creatures. The princess lures a warrior knight into the castle. Others have been lured there over many years, centuries, and once they're inside, they can never escape because the castle is shielded by magical electricity.
The scene flashes to modern times where a photographer explores the beautiful forest and uses her camera to make a vlog. The monster siren destroyed her car and the girl with camera is lost and all alone. She comes to a modern looking castle where Master also rules and keeps shielded.
Scenes of Red Riding Hood and warrior exploring the castle are nice and the ideas of the film are overall weird. It wasn't a crap film. I've seen worse crap from Hollywood. It was just very B movie.

What can I say about this "movie"? Rarely have I experienced a film that failed so completely - and completely on all levels. The "actors" make everything, but certainly not acting. The cheap special effects can be made better by nearly every ten-year-old with a computer. The make-up makes the figures into immovable pseudo-beings. Camera, cut - everything is on the same lowest level. Visual effects are used for they own, not to serve the film or even the story. Especially since the allegedly based on Brothers Grimm, the term "story" is not deserved. This crude "story" never reveals itself. Part of the disaster is a synthetic retort sounds, which are supposed to promise something, even if it never becomes clear what exactly.Author-director-cameraman-cutter Rene Perez, producer Robert Amstler and composer Risto R Muzik have to hate their audience and filmmaking. I've seen a lot of bad movies, but that's really one of the worst things I've ever seen. And not because it's just trashy. But because this film is "evil", bad, dumb, silly, a real catastrophe through and through. Not one area, not a single one, knows to convince.

I have wanted to watch this film for some time, I mean who would'nt find a 2015 version of a classic tale exciting, I read the reviews on here first and thought surely this film cannot be that dire right? - WRONG!! What have I just watched? I don't think I have ever seen anything so bad in all my life. I had not even got 15 minutes into the film and I actually had to check that I was watching the correct thing. I initially thought that in my error I had bought a 1975 ish version of the film and not the 2015, I mean why the awful special and visual effects. I sat here waiting in suspense the whole way through, thinking any minute now things will get started, something amazing will happen, I will sit tight and watch this film to the end - but alas NO, Nothing! in fact the storyline did not have any plot and made no sense what to ever. The actors must have been hired from an amateur drama school and please don't get me started on the music!!! I would strongly advise viewers to think about doing something a bit more constructive with their time, like watching paint dry, before thinking about watching this. An utter disappointment and an hour and a half of my life that I will never get back!!!!

So the movie has a woman in red riding hood, trying to take medicine to her grandma. And there's a guy in a werewolf costume, which I guess is like a Big Bad Wolf. So in that, I guess the film is faithful to the original Grimm Brother's fairy tale it says it's based on.The bits about a seductive laundress, an evil leader monster with a crown of fingers, some eyeless monster, magical force fields, and a rocking estate in the forests of modern day California digress a bit from the source material.Here's the thing though, it's all so bad and incoherent it's fun.There are flashbacks to scenes we saw less than 15 minutes earlier. And those flashbacks repeat some shots for a second time. There's sound effects recycled from the director's earlier film "The Dead the Damned and the Darkness" (also recommended for fans of bad horror films). The CGI had me praying for a software watermark to complete the cheesiness.But the cast seems to really give it their all. The costumes exist in a weird limbo between "off the shelf from a Halloween store" and "actually quite good". And the locations threaten to steal every scene they're in (but you can blame that partly on my love for medieval style castles and modern medieval-themed mansions).There's so much more I want to tell you, but I have to let you discover some things on your own. Does Red Riding Hood get the medicine to her mother? Are breast implants used by monsters in the 14th century? Will the Power Rangers come looking for their foam-rubber sword being wielded by the knight? Does the film tack on an unexplained sub-plot about a girl in the modern day at a different location in order to pad the run time after the director realized he needed another 20 minutes or so? And why is the knight's voice so manly? So many mysteries! I wouldn't recommend watching this by yourself, but only because this kind of comedy is better shared. I also wouldn't recommend it for kids, or people who take bad cinema seriously (as a wise man once said "repeat to yourself, 'it's just a show. I should really just relax'."), and there's a brief scene of "light" sexual assault that may be too much for some*. But if you've got some friends, some pizza, and a suitable amount of brain damage (or brain damaging substances), then give it a go.Recommended for: fans of "Birdemic 1" ("before James Nguyen sold out"), fans of Rene Perez' other films, movie hecklers, and fans of the theatrical release of "Hercules in New York".(*all joking aside, I only mention this because I don't want someone thinking this will be fun based on my review, and then they have an emotional trigger set off. If you're on the fence, the scene is meant less as a drawn out exercise in horror-drama and (I'm pretty sure) more as a weak excuse to show a boob.)
