Hansel & Gretel

About This Movie

So, Hansel & Gretel from 2013, right? This one's got a real dark edge to it. It's a twisted take on that classic fairy tale we all know, but here, the siblings are at the mercy of a truly unhinged recluse. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the way the woods are portrayed really amps up the isolation and horror elements. The pacing has a raw, relentless feel that keeps you on edge. You can see practical effects used throughout, which adds a gritty realism that’s often missing in today's CGI-heavy horror. The performances, especially from the leads, really deliver a sense of desperation and fear. It’s an interesting blend of folklore and modern horror sensibilities. Not your typical retelling, that's for sure.
