Synopsis

In a modern re-imagining of Little Red Riding Hood, a social pariah discovers a teenage runaway in the Oregon Wilderness and does his best to help her find a way home - a troubling exploration of trauma and redemption.
Moviegoers are saying
This indie Little Red Riding Hood adaptation has critics split between praising its atmospheric cinematography and intimate storytelling versus questioning whether its restrained approach adequately tackles its heavy trauma themes. Shot with a 'scrappy' indie sensibility in the Pacific Northwest, the film creates genuine dread through naturalistic performances and voyeuristic camerawork, though some find the underlying story less compelling than its initial setup suggests.

To Kill A Wolf is a somber, moving, and deeply tragic film.

Marked by strong, reserved performances — and deeply compassionate to its soulsick characters — this quietly absorbing drama has secrets in store, each of them revealed with uncommon elegance.

A tight, restrained, worthwhile first feature from a cast and crew whose next jaunt into the woods will surely worth sharpening our teeth for.
