À propos de ce film

Le réalisateur Osgood Perkins apporte sa vision unique et terrifiante au plus célèbre des contes de fées. Après avoir été éjectés de la maison de leur mère, Gretel (Sophia Lillis) emmène son petit frère Hansel (Samuel J. Leakey) dans la forêt à la recherche de nourriture et de travail. Les enfants découvrent alors un cottage pittoresque où une vieille dame toute frêle, Holda (Alice Krige), leur offre de la nourriture et un lit. Ils acceptent tout ce que Holda leur offre, sans penser à ce qu'elle pourrait leur demander en retour...

Notes et avis

2 1/2⭐ Gorgeous art direction and I'm already a big fan of redhead Sophia Lillis from Stephen Kings It. Already, I might be a little biased in the review *heh* ok, the 'Shrooms scene early on was funny and cute and the memorable scene of the movie for me. Theres not much going on here. Overall, this is a very pretty film to watch and creates a good Halloween mood but it's never scary and nothing much ever happens. It's super slow and chill as a Sunday morning wake 'n bake💯

The creators of this tried to use as much filler material as they could, and as a result it just drags on, and on, and on, and on. The only redeeming quality that the movie has is........er, still trying to find it. They would have done good to follow the same type of format as the Freddy vs Jason film, use just enough filler to bring it together and get on with the main event. I don't think the movie is completely horrible, just seriously over drawn out, like almost 30 minutes too long.

I read the reviews and avoided it for a while, but finally watched it and enjoyed it. It's not my favorite movie now but I think I got my money's worth. Was entertaining, suspenseful, contained some mild plot twists, and told more like the beginning of a series of super hero stories about fairly tales. I think the acting was well done and the images were both beautiful and frightening. I hope there is a series of sequels to come!
