Little Red Riding Hood : Japanese Version
6 September 2005
Very grim, down to earth movie, with wonderful direction. Jin Roh doesn't show off with extraordinary animation but compensates in plot and characters. The detailing is exceptional. Perhaps this is the most noticeable part of this movie. Wonderfully narrated Japanese version of the Little Red Riding Hood story, whose moral is the concept of Jin Roh, makes sad and heavy feeling to already grim movie.

Although this is an animated movie, in terms of the plot I would like to think of Jin Roh as a non-animated one, because of it's realistic manner. But then, there are some holes in the plot, although barely noticeable, but irritating and spoiling it's authenticity.

The drama in Jin Roh wasn't exaggerated but wasn't very touchable either. This makes the movie interesting but won't leave you with strong feelings after the movie is over.

Worth seeing. 7.5/10
