Review of Hansel & Gretel (2007) by Andrew L — 17 Aug 2012
This South Korean fairytale film of kids but the movie isn't for kids to watch. There is a many elements of other Hollywood movies wrapped into one film. This film reminds me The Twilight Zone: The Movie of Joe Dante's Segment 3.
The film starts out to be just one routine car crash by Chun Jeong-Myoung's character entering into a fantasy world where he sees 3 children. As the film gets more into the story, all the children wants is an adult to care and look after them as there is no escape for the grown-up.
As the kids are originally innocent, as soon they have the power of any wish they want that's when kids are stronger than the adults. Yim-Phil Sung's vision kept it good & simple by relying on Eun Won-jae, Shim Eun-gyeong and Jin Ji-hee's performances to make it kind of creepy by innocent at the same time.
Well done with the cinematography by Ji-yong Kim.
