Plot

Valerie is a beautiful young woman torn between two men. In love with a brooding outsider Peter but bequeathed to marry the wealthy Henry. Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when the resident werewolf brings tragedy to her family. As the village descends into fear and re-crimination the services of Father Solomon are called for, a mysterious and obsessive werewolf hunter. Red Riding Hood is a barely recognisable re-working of the classic fairytale done in the style of the relentless freight train that is the Twilight Saga.
