History Fridge / RedRidingHood

* As far as Suzette (Valerie's mother) knows, everyone she loves except Valerie -- Henry's father, Lucy, and Valerie's father (though whether or not she ''truly'' loved him was debatable)-- is dead, and Valerie has moved into the woods, and very well may vanish herself in the near future. Poor thing.

* Plus, remember Lucy being in love with Henry? Well, this means that she had a crush on her half-brother. Which is stated outright from Suzette as to why she put Valerie together with him instead.

** IncestIsRelative, but she probably doesn't even know Henry is related to her.

* In the book, Valerie's mom noted how unimaginative her husband was, unable to dream of a life beyond being poor farmers. [[spoiler: This becomes ironic when in the movie, it's revealed that the werewolf and Valerie's father are one-and-the-same, given the werewolf ''does'' dream of a better life, where they can move to the city, rob rich folk and feast on them (two birds with one stone).]]

* A different sort of FridgeHorror comes up when you realize the film implies [[spoiler:Cesaire very well may have turned his own mother into stew, which Valerie eats a bite of before stopping herself]]. Something very similar to this happens in older versions of Red Riding Hood.

* Father Solomon's children may seem strange, given he is a priest and apparently pretty high-ranked. But if you look at the cross on the roof of the church, it is clear we are dealing with an Orthodox village, hence,it makes sense for Father Solomon to have children as Orthodox priests aren't banned from being married.

* Even if you remembered that in the original fairytale a woodcutter saves Red from the wolf, the film has two woodcutters who'd have a personal reason to save Valerie, so knowing the original story provides you with no useful hint as to who the wolf could not be.

* This is more of a supernatural geek FridgeBrilliance. Father Solomon's story of his wife draws its roots from an early werewolf tale of a professonal Werewolf hunter who shot a silver bullet at a werewolf and as it ran, he saw he had severed the paw from the wrist. He didn't find the body, (A little fuzzy if he fould the paw or not), but the wolf never attacked again. Years later, a doctor heard the story and confessed to bandaging a womans stump of a hand when she claimed she lost it to a barbed fence.

* Anyone thinking of using the original fairy tale (where Red is saved by a woodcutter) to eliminate who isn't the werewolf would be disappointed as two of the main suspects, Peter and Cesaire, are ''both'' woodcutters, so either could be the rescuer.
