Hansel & Gretel (2013)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

People are voting emotionally.

Best movie ever!

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

To be honest, this movie deserves an F grade. The acting is so hokey pokey, and what makes it even worse is Dee Wallace. First of all, she knows goddamn well that the acting she did was so out of line. She probably felt embarrassed and felt bad for the other actors that they had to be in such garbage. Second of all, how can you survive a pitchfork to the stomach and multiple stabbings. Is the Dad a wizard, no. He is a normal human being like everyone else. Third, they tried to hide the fact that Lilith's home was in a neighborhood with a palm tree, not only that, the transitions were horrible, and you can clearly see there are multiple cars parked in front of the property when they head for the car. So obvious. The ending is terrible as well.

If you are here, then you already know the movie you're watching is not Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. Within 5 weeks, three movies titled Hansel and Gretel were released, presumably to piggyback off of the success of the 50 billion U.S dollar Hansel and Gretel. I'm assuming (judging by other reviewers) that everyone watched this thinking they were seeing the big Hollywood blockbuster that was heavily marketed. Hence: the hatred. This is an Asylum movie. It isn't their best but definitely not their worst either. The performances and effects are decent as far as Asylum movies go. The storyline is good and there's definitely enough tension to keep you looking at the screen till the end credits. In short: if you like Asylum movies (low budget cheesy horror, mostly) you will absolutely love this one. If you're thinking this movie is the big blockbuster Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters then you will be extremely displeased.

Yeah, when I started the movie I thought I was going to watch the other Hansel and Gretel movie that came out just recently. When I realized it wasn't, I figured what the heck I'll give it a try. This movie was just crap. And someone tell me how in the world their father survived. What was up with the ending? So she's going to eat gingerbread man pies? I don't get it.I don't think the actors could even believe they were making this movie. If you have choice between stabbing yourself in the eye and watching this, go ahead and stab. The movie you are probably looking for is Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. Don't make the same mistake I did!

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!
