Looks like it has some decent production design at least...

Based on the visual qualities and eccentricities in his small filmography to date, Oz Perkins seems like he could really break big at some point with the right project or franchise, unless he's more comfortable continuing to make offbeat lower-budget shows like this.

Looks nice and creepy

It’s a trip seeing that Orion logo too.

Looks like it could be kinda fun cheese, but also has a creepy vibe. I might check it out at some point.

Reviews aren’t too bad so far (by horror standards):

Is this 1.33:1?

1.55:1

Mabuse

What the fuck kind of aspect ratio is that? You can’t just go around making up your own ratios! Come on people!

That's what IMDb lists.

Wow, this looks to have some great visuals at the very least.

14:9 (1.55:1) is a broadcast standard in the UK/EU that's generally used for 4:3 material in a 16:9 presentation or 16:9 presentation on a 4:3 TV (thinner black bars on top and bottom). So it isn't entirely unique.

Presumably it was shot at 4:3 and being shown at 1.55:1, but I'm probably wrong on that.

This was alright. Moved at a really brisk pace at a tad under an hour and a half. Some creepy imagery and a couple moments, but I didn’t really find it that frightening. It’s more a fantasy thriller with some horror elements mixed in. I was expecting a bit more horror truthfully. Still not a bad movie and I’d say it’s worth a watch.

I caught a showing of this yesterday and it was creepy and for what is was i liked it. I liked A Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House alot more. I didnt know until today that Oz Perkins is Anthony Perkins son.

The youtube comments on the title being backward is pretty funny.

What's next? The Dwarfs of Seven & White Snow? =P

It's strength is in its imagery. The story is a bit odd, since it seems like a period story yet "Gretel" has a modern look, and there are occasional bits of modern dialogue, like "Another one bites the dust". It has an extremely dark visual style, with some scenes appearing to be lit by a single candle. The story doesn't land with much impact, unfortunately, though it manages a pretty consistent air of creepiness.

I felt the same way as you. it was worth seeing.

Saw this last night.

Agree with many of the thoughts here, with the strengths being atmosphere & visuals and shortcomings being a strong narrative.

Loved the soundtrack.

RichC2

I would love a soundtrack only track for this movie.

I thought this was uneven but entertaining and aesthetically gorgeous (mostly).
