Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters -- (2013)


Do you remember your childhood cartoon movie Hansel & Gretel? The siblings who had been left by their father deep in the forest because of their stepmother's forced. They followed a bird which led them to a gingerbread house with candy window and an old woman lured them with comfort soft bed which made them followed her entering the house, and it turned out the woman was a witch loving to eat kids. Gretel outsmarted her and they could save themselves by pushing the witch's body to the burning oven.

Still love the cartoon but felt ashamed by your older age? Don't worry as the cartoon 'gets older' too. Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is the childhood version's extended story. After saving themselves from the witch, Hansel & Gretel had been duo-siblings of witch hunters. They could eradicate 'amateur' witches easily till they hired by Augsburg's Mayor to solve children's kidnapping case in the town. 


Their hunting ability was strictly tested as they faced a 'pro' witch, Muriel; only 'pro' witches could change their appearances. They must stop the witch's ritual of Blood Moon which needed six young boys and six young girls who born in separated months, January to December, to create potion that would make dark witches impervious to fire. And white witch's heart was needed in the ritual and a fact revealed, Gretel was a white witch followed by other facts that their mother was a grand white witch who burned at the stake because of Muriel's rumor spreading. Muriel made Gretel as her target because her Mom was too strong for Muriel.

I think it becomes a trend for many films released based on the childhood cartoon movie. With its black comedy, this movie was a big no for children due to its sexual content, gore and so many sadistic scenes.

  1. I've watched this. I think this film is too gory. Especially the part where a hunter got cursed by the witch and when he came back to the tavern to warn people, his body exploded and his flesh and blood spurted in all directions.

    Have you watched Hansel and Gretel: The Warriors of Witchcraft? It's another Hansel and Gretel movie. Not the sequel, though. It's like the modern-life version of Hansel and Gratel. It's even more gory, but the story really suck. Only rated 2/10 in IMDB, if I'm not mistaken.

    I myself was so surprised with so much sadism shown. Don't forget about the maggots which the hunter ate, Nis. Ewww. And also when the Troll smashed Sheriff's head with its foot.

    I have no idea about Hansel and Gretel: The Warriors of Witchcraft as I just know it from you. Now I know no need to get its copy. Lol
