Description

Director Osgood Perkins brings his terrifyingly unique vision to the most famous of all fairy tales. After being thrown out of their mother’s home, Gretel (Sophia Lillis) leads her younger brother, Hansel (Samuel J. Leakey), through the woods in search of food and work. The children soon discover a quaint cottage where a fragile old woman Holda (Alice Krige) offers fresh food and bed. The children accept all Holda has to offer, with little thought as to what they may be asked of them in return…

    Looked and felt like a film school project. The performance levels of the actors is difficult to describe, like amateurs thinking they are thespians, it felt awkward and embarrassing in places. The cinematography too looks like video from a domestic DSLR. The story telling is granular and patchy when, for such a classic fairytale, it should have been bold and risky. For a story as great as this you have to push the envelope so to speak to do it justice. All that being said give it a try if you like this genre, if you can see past its limitations its good enough with a beer and some pringles.
