2016 horror film directed by Jared Cohn
Little Dead Rotting Hood is a 2016 American horror film written by Gabriel Campisi and directed by Jared Cohn. It stars Eric Balfour, Bianca Santos, Romeo Miller, Patrick Muldoon, Heather Tom and Marina Sirtis.[3][4]
The film is a Mockbuster of the Warner Bros. romance horror film Red Riding Hood.
Plot
The film follows the story of a small town that is besieged by a mysterious creature, which has been killing people in the woods. The town's sheriff, Adam (played by Eric Balfour), and his team of deputies, along with a group of local hunters, set out to stop the creature and protect the town.
As the investigation progresses, it becomes clear that the creature is actually a werewolf, and the only way to stop it is to kill the person who has been infected. The person in question turns out to be Red Riding Hood (played by Bianca A. Santos), the granddaughter of the town's wise woman, Rose (played by Marina Sirtis).
As the full moon approaches, the werewolf becomes more powerful, and the town is thrown into chaos as more and more people are killed. Adam and his team must race against time to find Red Riding Hood and stop the werewolf before it's too late.
As the climax approaches, Adam and his team confront the werewolf in an epic battle. In the end, the werewolf is defeated, but not before it manages to kill a number of people, including one of Adam's deputies.
The film ends with Adam and his team standing over the body of the defeated werewolf, contemplating the losses suffered by the town, and wondering if there are more monsters out there waiting to be discovered.

On Culture Crypt the film has a review score of 35 out of 100 indicating "unfavorable reviews".[5]

A fast-paced action-horror, Little Dead Rotting Hood builds to a final crescendo that will leave audiences satisfied and best of all, the film leaves things open for further adventures of Samantha and her fight against the werewolf hoards…[6]
We Are Indie Horror wrote:
Little Dead Rotting Hood takes almost nothing from the classic story, simply keeping the character and the Lycan aspect for its own usage, and doing something fun and off-the-wall, which is something seldom seen in reboots, remakes, or reimaginings.[7]
