Review of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) by Ad_Phoenix — 20 Apr 2014
A contemporary, somewhat steam-punk take on the classic fairytale, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters tries to utilise the popular idea of 'what happens after the story ends'. The whole ensemble is a camp, yet entertaining film, which is similar to 2004's Van Helsing.
The performances are mediocre to satisfactory at best, with a poor script and short run-time limiting the cast to cardboard acting. Overall, it's style over substance, but it somewhat embraces it, with a satire-like flair.
The film doesn't take itself too seriously, and is a perfect example of a 'popcorn flick', perfect for a night in.
