Gretel & Hansel (2020, D: Osgood Perkins) S: Sophia Lillis, Sam Leakey
On January 31, witness the terrifying untold story of the classic tale. Sophia Lillis stars in Gretel & Hansel, coming to theaters everywhere.
The story is described as being set a long time ago in a distant fairy tale countryside and focuses on a young girl (Sophia Lillis) who leads her little brother (Sam Leakey) into a dark wood in desperate search of food and work, only to stumble upon a nexus of terrifying evil.

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 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):

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.

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.

The youtube comments on the title being backward is pretty funny.
What's next? The Dwarfs of Seven & White Snow? =P

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.

I would love a soundtrack only track for this movie.
I thought this was uneven but entertaining and aesthetically gorgeous (mostly).
