No matter how tired audiences might be of live-action remakes of old films, retellings of classic fairy tales are usually a good bet. We’re talking about the old-school originals that are full of the terror that the Brothers Grimm and others chose to write down. Most weren’t cakewalks, and now, moviegoers will see Hansel and Gretel receive a makeover.
Gretel And Hansel is the latest horror movie to use such imagery, employing witchcraft both to enhance its visual appeal and to establish a dreamlike mood in a. Gretel & Hansel (also known as Gretel & Hansel: A Grim Fairy Tale) is a 2020 dark fantasy horror film based on the German folklore tale 'Hansel and Gretel' by the Brothers Grimm. The film is directed by Oz Perkins, and produced by Fred Berger, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Dan Kagan, with a screenplay by Rob Hayes.
The brother and sister pair were last seen on the big screenas adults in 2013’s Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, but this newfilm will explore the origins of their trauma. This fairy tale totally goesback to its dark roots.
‘Gretel & Hansel’ is no G-rated campfire tale

With a flip in the story’s title, the film casts Gretel as the big sister who leads her baby brother into the forest. While their intent to help their parents out was noble, things quickly descend into calculated chaos for Gretel and Hansel. The witch doesn’t look the ones you’ve seen in the illustrated versions of this children’s story, but she’s still creepy, and apparently, has a hard time digesting the hair of little kids.
Set to sinister music that sounds like the score from Insidious or Hereditary, the trailer is doomy, gloomy, and dim. There’s not a glimmer of sunshine or a giant lollipop in sight. Instead, there’s a plume of red smoke:
OrionPictures wants audiences to follow the crumbs in this adaptation, describingit this way:
“The story you know hides a dark secret. From visionary director Oz Perkins comes a terrifying new twist on a classic tale. A long time ago in a distant fairy-tale countryside, a young girl leads her little brother into a dark wood in desperate search of food and work, only to stumble upon a nexus of terrifying evil.”
The narration makes you wonder if the people of thiscountryside believe the forest witch to be an urban legend. There’s only oneway to find out.

Warning: This post contains spoilers for the movie Gretel & Hansel.The story of has been frightening children since the early 1800s, but Gretel & Hansel, director Osgood Perkins’ latest horror flick, pushes the fairy tale into new realms of terror.Now, that’s not to say that the original, in which a young brother and sister are abandoned by their parents in a dark wood before stumbling into the clutches of a cannibalistic witch, has ever been particularly kid-friendly. But Perkins’ iteration fleshes out the characters with disturbing new layers. Instead of just leaving Gretel (played by and star Sophia Lillis) and Hansel (Sammy Leakey) in the woods, their mother threatens to chop them up with an ax if they don’t get out of the house. Instead of just a child-eating witch, Holda (Alice Krige) is a child-eating witch who feeds her current guests the remains of her previous victims (after using magic to disguise them as food, of course).But it’s not these fresh horrific details that enable Gretel & Hansel to truly stand out from its source material. It’s the feminist spin that Perkins puts on the story.As the title’s name reversal suggests, in this version, it’s a 16-year-old Gretel who takes the lead and is tasked with watching over her 8-year-old brother Hansel when they’re cast out on their own. It’s also Gretel, who is revealed to possess a sort of second sight, who Holda sees potential in once the siblings find their way to her home (which is made of more traditional materials than gingerbread this time around). “What’s compelling to me is the devouring mother dynamic,” Perkins told of Holda and Gretel’s relationship.

“The idea of a mother who is equally creative and destructive. That’s something that Alice and I really wanted to make sure existed at all times: the witch really loves and respects Gretel as much as she wants to destroy her.”As her powers blossom and Holda sinks her claws in further, Gretel grows increasingly resentful of her brother. But after learning the horrifying truth of Holda’s backstory and taste for children, she’s able to pull herself back from the brink of evil in time to kill the witch and rescue Hansel all in one magic-fueled swoop.
Gretel’s future is left open-ended and in her own hands, which is a far cry from where she ends up in the original story, back at home with Hansel and the father who abandoned her. However, while some critics are satisfied with Perkins’ feminist narrative, others have found the movie’s substance less satisfying than its bewitching visuals.“ Gretel & Hansel has some genuinely promising ideas in mind, at times prodding around the edges of a full-on feminist re-imagining of the fairy tale witch,” Andrew Barker wrote for. “But it never manages to reconcile its deeper interests with the need to hit some of the more obvious genre paces.”Still, Perkins’ movie is at least a reimagined coming-of-age story for Gretel, one in which she finds a way to take control of her own destiny despite the bad hand she’s been dealt.
