Little Dead Rotting Hood

This plot Oo :-D

Lady in the woods passes the crown to her granddaughter to become some kind of Zombie-Vampire-Werewolve-Buffy-Chick, so she can protect the small town from a supernatural evil, the Denmother. Why she had to be dead for that, who knows...

It felt like an over-length Buffy episode, and it showed the same trademarks - TV look, effects that change between super bad and surprisingly good, dialogues from hell, and a cast that is fairly talented. Especially Eric Balfour, this good old veteran, does his job just as good as he always does. Bianca A. Santos, the "Red Rotting Hood", did her job well, too. The rest was overacted mostly, but still okay.

Some of the Special FX were really bad, like the 3 guys changing into wolves - I've seen this done better by small YouTubers. Some other scenes were really cool though - the director knew what he had to do with a small budget and focused on key scenes done well. A fight in a small town, at night, with lots of trained animals, flame throwers, 30 or more extras, CGI - this is not easy ! The main antagonist effects (don't wanna spoil you guys !) were not state of the art (or time), but still looked good - you needa be fair here, this is not a 200 Million dollar Hollywood movie.

Also, finally a horror B-movie without any night scene problems. Not one single time I had to try hard to recognize anything in dark scenes - so, good job from the lighting and camera department !

The dialogues are the biggest weakness of the movie - they were bad, and I mean like, super bad. The actors tried their best, but some lines cannot be delivered in a good way, not even if Meryl Streep would say them.

Overall, the movie is totally okay. It is not art, it is not even a good movie in the pure meaning of the word. But it entertained me fairly, and if you look for a "brains out, amusement on" movie, this might be the one for you, especially if you like Werewolves or creature horror in general.

There is even a pretty awesome female nudity scene - oh my gosh, was that chick hot. Uff.

So, get it, guys, nothing wrong with "Little Dead Rotting Hood", maybe besides the stupid title. In general, I probably would not have taken the Red Riding Hood story as background, it was not needed. But however, again, nothing wrong with it.

Have fun, and beware of the Denmother.

Maybe keep your dog out of the room, the tons of animal noises might make him nervous ;)

After a series of savage animal attacks, the sheriff of a small town finds that the town is being invaded by a pack of vicious werewolves that were previously held in control by a powerful werewolf hunter and that a thought-missing townsperson has become the new protector to stop the creatures.

For the most part, this was quite an enjoyable and somewhat entertaining effort. A lot of the positives in this one comes from the strong storyline at play here, which brings a modern twist to the werewolf-hunter setup that gets employed here. This one tackles the idea of a supernatural protector coming back from the dead and combating the werewolves attacking people under the guise of her sacrificial offering. Promoting the idea of a cursed bloodline protecting the town and using all sorts of mythical weaponry to do the job which is what has kept them from appearing beforehand gives this a rather intriguing storyline to deal with. That also plays into the films' action scenes of the wolves attacking which has some enjoyable aspects here, from the first wolf attack on the party being held out in the woods where it strikes the lone couple, a later ambush on a couple in their home and the full-on fun of the vigilante crew encountering the creatures out in the woods and realizing their outmatched when she appears to save them at the last possible moment. The few brief encounters around town offers some more fun, while the finale contains several big encounters in the underground caves which has a lot of fun in their battles with the wolf creatures and leading into the wholly exciting take-over of the town as the full-scale creature and it's minions arrive turning this into a fun little massacre sequence. However much fun the rest of the film is, it's still hard to get over its main problem in that the werewolves are merely played by actual wolves and dogs. There's never a sense of this being more than real animals for their scenes which greatly reduces the concept of them being threatening when they look like regular dogs which is the usual problem associated with following that format of the creatures. Not only does it completely undermine the point of using werewolves as the monster when they look nothing like these beings but to then place this as the main source of the film's monster really undermines this one. Coupled with the wholly ridiculous look of the monster make-up and the CGI for the main creature, the werewolves here are wholly underwhelming as a whole. The last flaw is the somewhat flimsy story structure where it tends to go in circles and never really seems to focus itself in any particular way, going back and forth on its story to get to a point that it could've gotten to much easier without wasting time on its secondary storylines. These are what hold this one back the most.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a sex scene.

...which isn't saying much. While the story is kind of lame and most of effects are just their usual CGI trash, the acting is, for the most part, surprisingly good. As usual however with the Asylum, most of the money went-where? That's the great unknown. Let's face it, if it weren't for the SYFY-Less channel, this company might not exist. They've done mockblusters - which are always terrible. Movies like this where they try to make a fairy tale into a horror film (something way too prevalent in today's world with movies like a killer Winnie the Pooh running around) but we can always count on the asylum to slather on the crud and keep doing it. Sigh. IMDB truly needs a 0 rating.

The Asylum has been around for a while now, and yes this movie is from 2016, but i watched it in late 2022. I know what is The Asylum and what they produce. Sometimes i enjoy myself decently with their low budget movies, sometimes i really don't. In this case, it was alright...

If you decide to watch an Asylum movie, you should know what you gonna get wich is basically average to subpar acting, mediocre scripte, bad CGI and more often than not, some nice naked girls. This movie check all the marks.

The acting is alright and actually better than expected, the nudity is completely useless to the script but very welcomed as that lady is very hot ;) and when it comes to special effects, the CGI is terrible because lets face it, The Asylum never really get much budget, and it looks like a Playstation 3 cutscene at best, but the practical effects and real dogs they used to portray the wolves were decent.

Obviously they had to go around a few things, you got A LOT of close up shots of the real animals and the camera can get pretty shaky at times, but it never look super terrible or anything.

The script ain't amazing by any means but its serviceable. For a movie call Little Dead Rotting Hood tough, there is a lot more screen time for Eric Balfour's Sheriff character. That said, he was probably the best actor in the movie.

The reality is i saw this movie for rent for 1$ during the Halloween discounts on Xbox, i knew what i was gonna get when i saw it was an Asylum movie and it was just that, no bad surprise at all. I was fine paying 1$ for that and it was midly entertaining for that 90 minutes. Thus why i am giving it the average rating.

This is really worthless. It aint worth your time. this is 88 minutes I will never get back. The story is okay, but the acting, the cgi, the "wolf". All of it, it's just bad. BAD. Do not watch. I am being honest with you people that it aint worth your time. Just ignore this movie and find something better to watch. Just listen to these words: No. Do Not Watch this video. It is horrible!
