Quite possibly the only good Red Riding Hood film ever made. What a treat.
The role of white trash in horror is traditionally reserved for the villains, a foul-mouthed disgusting hillbilly trash that could only cause pain against innocents rather than be one themselves. This movie and its street-centric fairytale aligns itself in being subversive to these ideas, taking the white trash and centering Witherspoon's illiterate foul-mouthed traditionally at odds with society audience surrogate as not only the damsel but also spotlights her as the huntsman. The hero that takes down the villain that would otherwise be seen as a prince or king in any other form of fiction (affluent, known by all, has the backing of the community he is a part of) and turns him into metaphorically and visually into a monster that wreaks havoc beneath a veener of audience/community-friendly traits (excellently played by Sutherland).
