How to ruin Red Riding Hood

When I first saw the preview for Red Riding Hood I was so excited. My excitement built to the point where I was punching my fellow movie-goer's arm (I think it was someone I know). And then I found out one terrible, horrible, movie-ruining piece of information: it was directed by the same woman who decided to ruin our lives with Twilight. I therefore decided she was not going to get my money and waited for Redbox. Other than that one fact it had everything going for it: the writer also wrote the Shawshank screenplay (meaning he worked on a great movie) and the Orphan screenplay (meaning he had the chops for scary); Gary Oldman and Amanda Seyfried, as well as BSG and SG-1 alums Michael Hogan and Mchael Shanks (respectively), are among the cast; it's a dark interpretation of a beloved fairytale (that's already pretty dark to begin with). I'm skipping the summary because everyone should know this story or can Google it easily.
