A old red riding hood, badly crippled after killing a monster many years ago, comes up with a sinister plan to dance again.

Why it matters

A dark, twisted folk horror fable that reimagines Red Riding Hood as a battle-scarred survivor grappling with trauma and vengeance.

  • Subverts fairy tale innocence with brutal body horror and psychological grit, channeling ’90s indie horror’s appetite for mythic reinvention.
  • Practical effects deliver grotesque creature designs and unsettling physical transformations that linger long after the credits.
  • A haunting meditation on aging, pain, and the cost of violence—perfect for fans of slow-burn, character-driven horror with a folkloric edge.
  • Rough around the edges in pacing and polish, but its grim atmosphere and raw ambition mark it as an underappreciated cult artifact worth digging up.
