First Look at Neil Marshall-Produced ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ Horror Movie ‘Red Riding’
Folklore and reality blur in the first images and poster for Red Riding, executive produced by genre favorite Neil Marshall.
Previously known as Little Red, the contemporary reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood will have its world premiere at FrightFest Glasgow in Scotland on March 7.
Craig Conway — who appeared in Marshall’s The Descent, Dog Soldiers, and Doomsday — directs from a script by Peter Stylianou.
In the film, after her mother’s overdose, troubled teen Redele Riding is sent from her London council estate to live with her estranged aristocratic grandmother in the Scottish Highlands.
At first, Red is captivated by the grand estate, but beneath the elegance, she uncovers disturbing secrets: vanished children, whispers of a monstrous wolf stalking the woods, and a sinister control exerted by her grandmother and the menacing gamekeeper.
As folklore and reality blur, Red struggles to make sense of cryptic warnings left by her mother and a dark family legacy.
Victoria Tait stars as Redele alongside Bill Fellows (“Ted Lasso”), Ian Whyte (Alien vs. Predator), Lynsey Beauchamp, and Jack McEvoy (“Vikings”).
House54 produces. The Coven is handling worldwide sales for the project.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
