Hansel vs. Gretel

-Hansel Vs. Gretel (2015) movie review:

-Hansel Vs. Gretel is exactly how it sounds, down to the sci-fi original cheese. In a modern update, Hansel, who hunt witches, to track down and stop his sister Gretel after she is controlled by a witch. That is all.

-Take Frankenstein Vs. The Mummy and make it more enjoyable, dumber, and better handled with the modern update.

-So the story is pretty simple and does not try to make too much sense. At all. I feel like I already did this review about two classic storybook characters going at it for the last few minutes of the film. Goodness.

-The pace is pretty slow in the middle. Because not much happens.

-The acting is bad, but entertaining.

-The characters are cheesy, one-dimensional, and inconsistently entertaining!

-The music is not fitting and not terrible, but forgettable.

-The effects and everything that happens for them to occur are laughable.

-I'm going to just get to the point. The film, unlike Frankenstein Vs. The Mummy, does not take itself seriously and was pretty entertaining. The ending dragged on and did not make sense, but the acting, effects, and everything plot related was fun in a cult-classic cheesy kinda way. So without any more hating, I am very happy to say that after watching tons of lame films, I have finally found the first one if the year, because Hansel Vs. Gretel is…. (pause for dramatic effect)…. So bad, it's good!

-I should point out it does have some violence and a few F-words, but not a lot.

If you like the horror genre with lots of gory action and somewhat twisted surprises then this is a movie for you. Ben Demaree did a decent job at direction given the limited resources and time constraints that go hand in hand with typical Asylum production (Sharknado fame). It was an absolutely fresh take on the old-school Hansel Gretel story. In the story, Hansel (Brent Lydic) and Gretel (Lili Baross) both go looking for their friend who has disappeared, then comes the showcase of a harem of hot witches, Chthonia (Jhey Castles), Circe (Elisha Kriis), Kikimora (Nanrisa Lee) and Morai (Adinett Nsabimana), who are gifted with unique powers. A lot of licking and seducing by sexy witches and headless torsos splattered across the screen. The film is truly a comedy of horrors. That is what makes this film thoroughly entertaining. It's the kind of horror that makes you laugh. Actors did a good job within the boundaries of the material they had been given. When you know what you are getting into with this movie then it's absolutely worth it!

The first Hansel and Gretel asylum film in my opinion was not too shabby, but was better than this one. I expected Asylum to really put their all into this film and beat the odds, but it just seems like the movie was made from scratch. The actors performances could be much better and the script is disorganized at some points. Some points of the movie are so irrelevant and run on to the point where it gets boring. Disappointing on so many levels, and anticlimactic. Corny acting, terrible effects, sad.

I have seen the earlier Hansel Gretel which was a way better movie with good fights and scenes. By watching the earlier one i thought this has to be a good sequel.

The time i started the movie with high expectations, slowly as the time passed away, the excitement came down drastically to a point where i fast forwarded it and still it was boring, and finally i had to stop it.

Looks like somebody has made this movie in their backyard. Poor direction, poor dialogues and acting. Please do not waste your time or you will seriously regret it.

Boresville Arizona. Ludicrous at best and downright garbage that's full of dog crap at worse. I'd give it 7 out of 987 million.
