Thank you, Wes Craven. Right when we needed another werewolf flick. It is obvious that Craven loves having fun making a movie. Too be exact, there are more smiles than signs of fright on the character's faces. Ellie(Christina Ricci) and her nerdy brother Jimmy(Jesse Eisenberg)are on their way home one night when something comes out of nowhere and smashes their windshield causing their car to collide with another, driven by Becky(Shannon Elizabeth). While checking on Becky's condition all three are attacked by a...you guessed it. There are some pretty grizzly scenes; fangs, claws and werewolf transformations. The use of CGI is not real smooth; but then the script isn't either. The eye appealing Ricci goes through the motions like a champ; after all she is working with nerds, bullies, a dog named Zipper and a werewolf(Derek Mears). Also starring are: Joshua Jackson, Milo Ventimiglia, Kristina Anapau and a cameo by Scott Baio...let's not forget Solar the dog. Talk about a catchy intro, the use of Bowling for Soup's cover version of Sam the Sham's oldie "Little Red Riding Hood" is fantastic.
