Hansel & Gretel
In this modern retelling of the classic horror tale, teen siblings are enslaved by a psychotic recluse within her gruesome house of horrors in the woods.
Why it matters
A brutal, blood-soaked riff on a timeless fairy tale that leans hard into body horror and psychological dread.
- Practical effects shine in the grotesque traps and twisted fleshwork, echoing classics like The Descent.
- A claustrophobic, woodsy atmosphere drenched in paranoia and creeping menace.
- For fans of folk horror with a gore-heavy, contemporary edge — think Jennifer’s Body meets The Witch’s house of horrors.
- Performances lean into the terror and desperation, grounding the mayhem in sibling survival stakes.
