À propos de ce film

Director Osgood Perkins ("The Blackcoat's Daughter") brings his terrifyingly unique vision to one of the most famous of Grimm Fairy Tales in "Gretel & Hansel." After being thrown out of their mother’s home due to extreme poverty, Gretel (Sophia Lillis) leads her younger brother, Hansel (Samuel J. Leakey), through the woods in search of food and work. A kindly Hunter points them in the direction of civilization, and the children soon discover a quaint cottage in the wood, where a fragile old woman, Holda (Alice Krige), offers fresh food and bed. The children hungrily accept Holda’s gifts, with little thought as to what they may be asked of in return. As days pass, Hansel grows weary of Holda’s intentions and the "lessons" she has been teaching Gretel behind his back. As Gretel begins to come into her own, she detects her brother might be in serious danger.

Notes et avis

Visually, the movie is as solid a horror film you'll ever see. Oz Perkins has solidified himself as a great horror director for me with this one, it might not be some people's idea of a horror but for me it all works perfectly. It sets a mood and honestly even if you don't like it, it's short. 90 minutes and you're done, I for one appreciate a movie that gets its business done in a timely manner. If you like good mood horror that you don't see enough of these days, check it out.

Super boring artsy nonsense. If you like horror movies don't choose this one.

Slow and empty...wait for something........nothing.......surprisingly terrible though some images are cool.......overall you may not get through it all, drying paint may become more interesting.
