Nevada via UWIRE Catherine Hardwicke, director of “Twilighf ’ and the just-released “Red Riding Hood,” seems to have found her go-to movie ingredients. Voice narration by troubled young female protagonist? Check. Obsessive love triangle? Check. A general lack of character emotion considering the dark nature of the storyline? Definite check. Add a stunningly attractive cast whose ability to actually act isn’t an important part of their resumes and you are pretty much set. Even the best parts of Hardwicke’s new film are basically the same pros that you can pull out of “Twilight.” Beautiful landscape shots dominate the film, and the set designer definitely went the extra mile. Fever Ray offers up a great new single to the movie’s original soundtrack. Music and visuals are fantastic — including the up-close-and-personal shots of Amanda Sey fried (“Dear John”), Shiloh Fernandez (“Deadgirl”) and Max Irons (“Dorian Gray”), the eye candy making up the main love triangle. Unfortunately, you can’t build a great movie around the pretty. Veteran actor Gary Oldman (“The Dark Knighf’) seemed to promise substance when he first came on the scene, but he quickly fell into the cliched villain’s role, down to his obscurely convoluted? European accent and tiny graying goatee. Julie Christie (“Finding Neverland”) was another colorful cast member who, in fact, didn’t disappoint - she kept up her personality and charm despite the painful writing apparently designed to stifle it. Perhaps the film’s biggest weakness was its failed attempt to bring out the gritty interior of Red Riding Hood. After all, the well-known story involves some seriously dark stuff - grandmothers being eaten and then pulled out of stomachs again, not to mention the creepy “All the better to eat you with” conversation, to which the movie played due homage in one of the best scenes of its 100 minutes. However, the movie seemed to take only the blood and gore of the story, not its potentially complex plot ideas. We are told the villagers of our little setting live in fear of the wolf, but they actually seem fairly nonchalant as they go through their lives, even when loved ones get killed off Plus, the movie does nothing with the potential conflict that lies in being a human for most of the month and a murdering wolf for three days of it. Essentially, if you wanted to see one of your favorite and most chilling childhood tales dumbed down to bad horror movie material, complete with the meaningless gore, the virgin’s survival and the instant death of any characters who happen to be minorities, this might be just your ticket. Otherwise, skip it altogether or wait for the lamest Friday night of your life and Redbox it. I’m not kidding about the pretty.
