Oh Dear - Gretel and Hansel review by HM

Spoiler Alert
13/12/2020

Warning; An Irish Government backed film. They are usually average at best. This is no exception. A reimagining of the H & G tale where she is a teenager and he is a kid. Not particularly scary, but suspenseful. Tries hard but not hard enough. Won't please horror fans.

Passages of the film break up the suspense which is down to poor story telling. Also, a bit confusing in parts. A black actor is given a shot as is obligatory these days. He drones through his lines with little conviction and invests nothing in a superfluous character. Should have got an actor to do it!

A poor effort. Cannot recommend it know you will be disappointed.

I'm bucking against the trend here, but I loved it - Gretel and Hansel review by WF

It has a proper fairy tale quality to it. It's supernatural, not shock sclock. The score matches the cinematography to produce an eerie, other worldlyness. Gretel's development is what it's really all about, and I thought it was really well done.

It reminds me of The Witch.

Gretel and Hansel - Gretel and Hansel review by JC

I must admit  to giving up  half way through. I tried but  nothing in this film gripped me. Too much staring off into space.it was attempting to build up to something but the journey was too tedious.
