No this movie has nothing in common with the famous fairy tale, although Valerie does have a grandmother (Julie Christie) who lives alone in the woods and whose odd behavior catch the eye of the werewolf hunters. This movie is Set in a medieval village that kinda reminds you of a generic middle age time setting that is haunted by a werewolf. This Renaissance festival like film unfolds in an isolated town that for years has suffered from the depredations of a werewolf.
Valerie (Seyfried) is a beautiful young woman torn between two men. She is in love with a outsider, orphaned woodcutter, Peter (Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie's older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village. For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, offering the creature a monthly animal sacrifice. But under a blood red moon, the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Oldman), to help them kill the wolf. But Solomon's arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon, Valerie begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves. As panic grips the town, Valerie discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast--one that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect and bait. If you liked twilight it's a must see.
