Little Red Riding Hood reimagined

I always liked today's film and it's cool to see that it is available to watch online. While it's been years since I've seen it, I'll try to get to the basics in this short review and let you discover all the other hidden treasures in this film.

 Today we go to Grandmother's house with THE COMPANY OF WOLVES.

Here's your link.

The basic idea of The Company of Wolves is a mixture of the old fairy tales, most notably Little Red Riding Hood.

Why yes, that is indeed Angela Lansbury as the grandmother.

This film uses narratives from the main characters to tell short stories that are interspersed around the main plot, which is the Red Riding Hood story. All of them center around wolves, or as our modern interpretation of them, werewolves.

It has a dreamy feel to it at times and some cool special effects that while not up to the Rick Baker standard set in An American Werewolf In London, they are pretty amazing regardless.

The film also supports a cast including Stephen Rea, David Warner, and Terence Stamp. 

All in all the production values are slick, the costumes and sets are awesome, and the atmosphere is dark and foreboding, just as those cautionary tales were supposed to be. This is indeed a grim fairy tale.
