So, on the 1st day of it's showing here, I went to Trinoma right away with a friend of mine and watched it. And unfortunately, I got disappointed.
Why?
I am not a movie critic but this is just my point of view. First, I think the writers were torn between which kind of movie they should categorize it: love story or suspense horror. At one point, there's a lot of love conflicts in it but then all of a sudden, it will be mixed with the horror-suspense substance of the movie and then will go back to that love story part. The love story on those three confused people is soooo boring.
Even the feelings of how much they love each other was not realistic. I guess, they just don't have this chemistry on the big screen: Shiloh and Amanda.
The horror suspense part, with all the guesses you've made, it's like in the end you will just say -- that's it? And how they defeated the werewolf so easily like that? If he has the visions that he can see what's going to happen, why he did not see that his daughter is the one that is going to kill him? Sorry for being a spoiler.
And I just find it so heartbreaking that Shiloh turned into a werewolf in the end. Happy endings, I guess, is not for all movies nowadays. Just like Titanic.
I think there were lots of scenes that has been deleted from the movie. I also think that maybe if they could have lengthen the movie, heighten the suspense-horror, it might have been more realistic and better. Maybe turning Red Riding Hood into a Gothic style movie is not a good idea but it could also be if they put more attention to little details.
There were lots of questions in my head after we watched the movie. And sipping over mocha frappe, my friend was also asking the same question. Well, instead of talking how the movie turned out in the end, we just talked about on what's the next movie we are going to watch.
