'Hansel and Gretel' and more fairy tales for adults

'The Company of Wolves'
Familiar fairy tale characters: Red Riding Hood, grandmother, the hunter, lots and lots of wolves
Why it's not for kids: There are many different fairy tales woven throughout director Neil Jordan's dream-like reworking of Red Riding Hood. But these fairy stories all have a feminist bent to them and they all feature a lot of wolves. A young girl may be the heroine of this horror-fantasy, but its dark themes and bloody visual effects mean the wee ones are better off hearing these stories instead of seeing them.
