Basic film notes à
A little red riding hood spin off
Based on a short story by Angela Carter
Continuing with film notes à
The girls are both wearing white which helps to symbolise
their innocence
Their pet dog looks like a wolf as it is a German Sheppard
They live in an old spooky house, which symbolises a castle
and sets the scene for a horror movie
One of the daughters lives in the attic and her parents don’t
understand her
We watch the film through the ‘dream/nightmare’ of the
youngest daughter
The film focuses on her open window which has view out onto
a forest. This symbolises the barrier between reality and imagination. It also
shows that the danger is outside of the window and that she is safe as long as
she is on the inside.
Granny is the voice of reason, teaches the girl the truth of
how to behave.
