Little Red Riding Hood

"Little Red Riding Hood" (2015) is a low budget horror play, directed by Rene Perez. It stars Iren Levy, Alanna Forte, Robert Amstler and Nicole Stark. Red Riding Hood carries a basket of food and medicine. She walks through the great green forest to visit her sick grandmother. The fairytale is only sort of true at the beginning, then she encounters a zombie knight. He warns her that the forest is too dangerous and not to go further but she's so scared of his appearance that she doesn't listen to him and runs off. Later she's confronted by a ferocious werewolf and she runs away again, chased by the werewolf until she arrives at a castle. The place seems safe for her but the werewolf doesn't go on. There are some very weird characters and a lot of vague moments that don't properly inform the viewer what's happening. Red Riding Hood ends up trapped in a beautiful castle, which is none other than Castello di Amorosa. Despite their sheer loveliness of scenic views of forest and castle, all are haunted by demons, left over creatures from Atlantis.
I got a headache watching this. The most scariest part is that I even watched it at all and making a review on it. I rate this film 1/10.

The Howling IV: The Original Nightmare

"The Howling IV: The Original Nightmare" is not quite the original first movie "The Howling" but also similar. It's still also based on the novel "The Howling" by Gary Bradner. It was quite typical 80's cheese with indirect comedy. The main heroine, Marie, is frail, sees visions and hears howling. She's always dressed in white as always Damsels in Distress are. There is her handsome macho husband with a mullet hairstyle who secretly visits a stunningly beautiful witch called Elaenor. Watching elderly werewolves is quite hilarious. The unecessary gore, the poor dog, nuns, creepy townsfolk, creepy sheriff, creepy forest, creepy howling and ghosts. The best scene was the bell tower.
I rate this movie a good 6/10.
