- TriviaUnderground filmmaker David Kaplan met 16-year old star Christina Ricci at the Sundance Institute's Directors Workshop in 1996. The pair hit it off and Kaplan enlisted the actress to star in this short. He said she was absolutely perfect for the part because she has a sparkling intelligence in her eyes, and she has an uncanny resemblance to the famous Gustave Dor illustration of the Red Riding Hood character.

Featured review
A delicious morsel that begs for more.
This quite short film is a little masterpiece of a fairy tale. There are only three characters. The scene opens with a very sexy-looking wolf stalking Red Riding Hood through the wood on her way to dear Grandma's cottage. By the time she reaches her destination the wolf has already digested Grandma apart from a few entrails which he has reserved in a bowl for little Red Riding Hood. The wolf with lathering lips waits expectantly in bed for the innocent young maiden. "Take off your clothes" he murmurs "Throw them in the fire. You won't be needing them any more". Puzzled she complies and then into bed beside the hairy body.
Quentin Crisp's oily voice seems just right for the narration...very persuasive, very sexy. We are held in suspense waiting for the wolf's next move. Poor little Red Riding Hood, we think, she is only a little girl and completely at his mercy. How can she possibly outwit this monster?
But this Red Riding Hood, bred and brought up in the country is no simpleton. Her big round eyes have seen many things and she has learnt from Nature. She soon realises that all is not as it seems. The conclusion to the film is as interesting as its beginning and the music selected adds a lovely freshness to the scenes.
