Let me get this straight...there's an army of killer woods terrorizing a nondescript American town that can only be held at bay by some kind of "protector." Jared Cohn's Little Dead Rotting Hood begins with the current protector helping to kill and bury her granddaughter before performing a suicidal ritual which passes on her powers to her. Of course, I don't understand why she needed to pass on her powers: she seemed to still have plenty of life left in her. What's worse, the granddaughter doesn't seem particularly good at her new job. She has a nasty habit of only showing up to stop the killer wolves after they've killed people. Man, this is a stupid movie. The lore makes no sense. Why is there a pack of killer wolves there? Where do they come from? What do they want? How do the protectors get their powers? Why is the town next to a place called "Jawson's Creek?" Why is there an old-time hillbilly with a custom-made shotgun/flamethrower who seems more at home in a) the 1890s, b) the set of Tjardus Greidanus's The Final Sacrifice (1990)? I know the film's from The Asylum, but man...this one's just bad.
