Red Riding Hood (film)/Headscratchers


 * Toward the end, when Valerie goes to her grandmothers house and finds her father there, what was the point of him mimicking the grandmothers voice to make Valerie think he was her, only to intentionally walk out revealing himself seconds later? He seemed to have planned on her knowing it was him anyway (because he had planned on telling her the truth) so what was the point of the ruse in the first place? In the original tale it made sense for the wolf to imitate the grandmother so that he could get Little Red to climb into the bed with him but Valerie's father never does that so what was the point?
 * If during the last appearance of the Wolf, how did ?
 * Well, since we never actually see WHERE they took him, it's entirely possible that they just beat him up and threw him in a spare room that would have been relatively easy to break out of without much effort or causing a lot of damage. It also probably helped that he seemed to be pretty drunk most of the time – they probably didn't think that he would be much of a threat so they didn't bother with making sure he was properly locked up.
 * The real question is, how did It's a torture device, you would think it was designed to stand up to just about anybody trying to break out of it, so it comes across as the whole event happening just to be a cheap misdirection.
 * It's a heat torture device, so it probably wasn't designed to hold against someone in their right mind (not squirming in agony) and determined to leave. As long as it's heated, no one is going to be standing still long enough to break that door. They left him alone in there for a long time, without any fire, and that door would have to be damn tough to never break under consistent beating from the inside.
 * So, how do Valerie's over-the-knee socks stay up? I didn't see any garters.
 * The same reason a girl's skirt can keep from flipping over and exposing her undies in other forms of fiction. Improbable clothing physics.
 * Possibly because they're ribbed, before the invention of elastic ribbing was often used in knitted clothing ether to make it more fitted or to help it stay where it was supposed to.
