Just in time for Halloween, Rotkäppchen: The Blood of Red Riding Hood, the chilling and erotic epic will make its DVD debut on October 27, 2009 in a Special Unrated Edition available at Amazon.com. Packed with non-stop chills, thrills and erotic romance, director Harry Sparks’ visionary adult fairy tale was received with overwhelming enthusiasm and audience acclaim at its red carpet premiere at the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center in September.
Starring a hot, talented young cast including Stefanie Geils, Sativa Verte, Phil Gibson, Nicole Leigh Vuono, Chris O’Brocki and Angelina Leigh, the film also features indie horror fan favorite Debbie D.

“What makes this version of Red Riding Hood unique is that it stays faithful to the themes of the original classic story,” says the movie’s writer/director Harry Sparks. “Red Riding Hood has always been about sexual awakening. It’s about this journey of a girl becoming a woman, and I did not water it down.”

With the success of movies like Twilight and the HBO series True Blood, the demand for a blend of sex, romance and the paranormal remains strong.

“There seems to be a real hunger for stories with a sexy, supernatural slant to them”, says the director. “If you are a fan of True Blood, I think you will definitely enjoy this movie.”

Set against the backdrop of some of the most breathtaking locations in the world, Rotkäppchen: The Blood of Red Riding Hood boasts scenery from Germany, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland and in the United States, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.
