"Red Riding Hood" has all the right ingredients: a pair of sexy young actors (Amanda Seyfried and Shiloh Fernandez); a renowned director (Catherine Hardwicke) with a blockbuster supernatural romance ("Twilight") already under her belt; a premise based on a classic story we all know and love; and of course, Werewolves!
Will all this add up to one of the most memorable movie thrillers in recent memory?
Movie fans can only hope "Red Riding Hood" rips our faces off with its wolfy claws of movie magic.
Before you head to the theater in your hood to catch "Red Riding," here are six clips to whet your appetite.
1. Valerie (Seyfried) expresses her longing desires to be with Peter (Fernandez), but he is seemingly reluctant to give in to her attraction. Come on man, who else in the village could possibly be hotter than Valerie?

Chicago – Catherine Hardwicke, who only directed the first “Twilight” and none of the following franchise films because she felt rushed and financially constrained, has cleverly figured out how to make another “Twilight” under the guise of the name “Red Riding Hood”.
Rating: 1.5/5.0
Even “A”-lister Gary Oldman – who has curiously accepted the role of god’s good werewolf slayer – deserves better than to be grouped with this film’s teen-targeted talent. While he’s certainly the film’s highest-caliber artist, Oldman’s presence is nonetheless disappointing and still only scratches the surface of saving this film flop.
In a time when vampires and their foes are all the rage, Hardwicke’s modern-day “Red Riding Hood” transforms the Big Bad Wolf into a werewolf. (The earliest, 17-century version of the beloved story used an actual wolf whereas later versions have used ogres or a “bzou,” which we know as a werewolf.
