31 Nights of Halloween: Red Riding Hood

Halloween 2021 is coming to a close, but you must still beware... because the monsters are still on the prowl, looking to pull tricks so you can become their treats...

Red Riding Hood (2021)
Starring: Alexa Kopitnik
Director: Alex Magana
Rating: Seven of Ten Stars

It's Halloween, and a young woman (Kopitnik) dressed like Little Red Riding Hood has an encounter with a Big, Bad Wolf.
 

California-based filmmaker Alex Magana was our talent in the spotlight for this year's 31 Nights of Halloween, in the sense that we featured more films from him than any other creator this year (with two of them on this very night. His work will continue to be featured here once every couple months until next October, keeping the chills going. So, please stop by every now and then!

As for "Red Riding Hood", Magana makes great use the "fake threat" horror movie mainstay as this film unfolds. The fact that he adheres to the "rule of three"  The ending we ultimately reach wont surprise anyone, but getting there is quite the creepy bit of fun.


And with that--all we have left is to thank you for joining us for this year's month-long Halloween celebration. As mentioned above, there will be posts appearing regularly here. In fact, the first will be tomorrow--in observation of the Day of the Dead!

    1. Some monsters are helpful like that--when the targets aren't smart enough to play along properly. :D
