Red: Werewolf Hunter (2010)

(On Cable TV, April 2020) No good idea can be interesting if the execution is lacking, and I offer as evidence of this Red: Werewolf Hunter, a low-budget made-for-TV film in which Little Red Riding Hood is recast as (obviously) a werewolf hunter. It even stars Felicia Day, if you want at least one reason to see the film. Which may end up being the only reason, considering the ineptness of the rest. The plot ends up being a dull romance set in what looks like an abandoned town set. Director Sheldon Wilson is a veteran of cheap low-budget movies and Red: Werewolf Hunter fits right in the middle of his unimpressive filmography: muddy cinematography, uncomfortable actors, unimaginative camera setups and a script that never went beyond a first draft are the main problems here. Red: Werewolf Hunter ends up being generic to a degree that sabotages nearly everything that was clever or original about is high-concept. But Day does look really nice.
