February 1, 2020 by EJ Moreno

Gretel & Hansel, 2020.

Directed Oz Perkins.
Starring Sophia Lillis, Sam Leakey, Charles Babalola, Jessica De Gouw, and Alice Krige.

In this video review, EJ breaks down Gretel and Hansel, a film he describes as a delightful surprise. Moody and atmospheric, this is welcomed change of pace for 2020 at the cinema. EJ even calls Gretel and Hansel “the first great horror movie of the year.” Watch the review below, and be sure to head on over to our YouTube channel for more videos and exclusive content…

A long time ago in a distant fairytale countryside, a young girl (Sophia Lillis, It) leads her little brother (Sammy Leakey) into a dark wood in desperate search of food and work, only to stumble upon a nexus of terrifying evil.
