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!!

rchoyle I have written a handful of reviews over the years and only a out movies that were lesser known and if I was pleasantly surprised by how good they were. This was not one of those movies unfortunately! I don't like to take sophist at movie makers as whether a movie is good or bad, a lot of effort is required to make a movie and I have the attitude that if I don't have something positive to say, then don't say anything at all, but I had to take exception with this one. Their were definitely some real corny scenes and dialogue in it that make you wonder how can anyone with half a mind make a movie like that, but it was created nonetheless. One scene in particular comes to mind, which is what prompted me to write this review, and that was the scene when Hansel and Gretel were helping the blond girl escape from one of the brothers and Gretel cut his throat. Hansel then responded " Hey, it was either him or us. " And he said that because she seemed distraught over the fact that she had to take a life and felt bad for doing so! That line really takes the cake for me as you have maniacs trying to kill and eat you, you kill one to help you escape and them you feel guilty and awful about it?? In any event, this movie had much more potential than was shown, unfortunately it was not reached. But I still watched it in it's entirety and if not anything else, it was one of those movies that was good because it was so bad, possibly take on a cult status, but I don't think that would be the case here. I have to add one more comment about Hansel when he starts eating himself, their were several scenes in which pain that should have existed, was not prevalent in this movie, especially as he devours his own body, no pain whatsoever as he acts like he's munching on a drumstick of chicken. I men come on, they could've at least made him feel the pain of eating his own arm, just saying! But what do I know about making motives, I just watch them!

victoriafotn I thought this was the Hollywood Blockbuster "Witch Hunter" movie. Well it was not.I'm a fan of the Brother's Grimm, I'm a fan of horror, I'm even a (big) fan of B-movies. But this movie belongs to the "why-did-I-watch-this-why?" genre. Horrible script, bad acting, bad everything. Even Dee Wallace, who is a respectable actress, cannot make this film bearable. "Hansel" and "Gretel" is supposed to be a classic horror story, but it is completely "butchered" in this production. If you watch this,prepared to be amazed at how bad a movie can be and what a complete waste of time it was.. And if you are a Grimm fan,oh boy... Beware: Do not watch this!

anders_asd This movie is nothing but a poor attempt at doing anything for the viewer. Why the f is it that every time a blockbuster is released, a sh*tty B or C movie is made just to feed of the success of the said blockbuster. If the actors in this movie thought that it was a good idea to participate in this sh*tstorm of a project they thought wrong, But don't give up. there are plenty of really good scripts out there, Get a new agent and quit joining sh*t projects, The movie makers of this flick on the other hand; I have no respect for you guys, The acting is bad, the cinematography is bad, the concept is already taken by Tommy Wirkola, the storyline in bogus and the special fx is not special at all. It looks like the whole movie was made by preschool kid with no hair on his genitalia.
