chrisgpresents After I watched the opening sequence of the movie I thought to myself "Wow this is kind of cool." So I rushed over to IMDb, to get some more info on it. This was very hard to find, since it's under the "Video" tag. I saw 2.5 stars, and I was blown away, because even though the movie was funded by a 10 year old's piggy bank, The Cinematography, Sound Design, Score, and the general plot were all well done. This is inspiring to see how well a movie can be made for so cheap. I'll start with the pros, and end where this movie falls short. Keep an open mind when watching it.The entire modern day Hansel and Gretel premise is really unique, and it isn't some Hollywood ripoff. It's an original adaptation to the well known folktale. The settings are all creepy, and even though the witch seemed a bit young for the role, she definitely had her shining moments. Multiple times. The sound design added a great feel to the movie, and the score was very well done, keeping the pace of a good horror film.I would say that the acting was shaky, but it really wasn't. It was mostly all pretty bad. It felt like the Director casted their family members for a majority of the roles. Most of the actors/actresses looked the part, and on occasion some of them would have a moment, but the acting is something you'd have to push to the side. There were obvious plot holes, and poor attempts to make you attach yourself to a character, and learn about their "hopes and dreams" only to have that side plot of "Come on we'll get you home" end with a sudden death. I wish they expanded more on the relationship with the mother as a side plot instead of pulling time from that, to feed lines to other characters. Overall this movie I truly recommend if you're into cheap but well done indie horror films. I was a fan, and was definitely worth my time.

kalime805 This movie is a waste of time, unless you have time to waste. The plot of the movie seemed good but once those D- list actors started talking, it all went down from there. The movie needed a bigger budget and better actors. We watched this on TV thinking it was the "other" Hansel & Gretel but nope we were fooled! I wonder why Netflix even has this poor movie for people to see. I'm not sure what else I can say about this movie. Maybe if your looking for some laughs and some funny memories with friends then watch it. Half the time we were laughing at the actors and how stupid they were. If you have the decency to even watch it till the end like we did you can see the stupidity of the writer. Just validated what a joke this film was!!

sweetpiggy108 I started to see this movie by mistake thinking it was the Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters one. I just don't understand when I see these movies, who pays to have them made. I would love to talk to the person who wrote this and just ask why? No one in their right mind can think this is any good. The acting is terrible and the storyline is so stupid. I kept thinking it was going to have something that made the movie watchable. I finally just got up and turned it off. If it wasn't cause I was on a free trial of Netflix I would cancel my subscription for even having this garbage on their site. This isn't even good enough to have in the background while you fall asleep.

Cameron-Daniel Who would have thought they would have put out THREE Hansel & Gretel movies in the beginning of 2013? Thought this was the one with Jeremy Renner, so was shocked not to see him in the beginning. Paid to see it, so watched it anyway. Most 2nd rate movies are called "B" movies, if I was to give this a "Grade", it would earn an "F". This is like one of the bad horror movies from the 1950's. Story kind of jumps around so you're not certain what's going on all the time. This is supposed to be a "Realistic" type of situation that could really happen, but then people are stabbed with items and keep getting back up. The ending is so hokey I can't believe they did it other than to put the poor movie, and the audience, out of their misery!
