If you think for a second, Hansel & Gretel the Original"fairy" tale is not really friendly tale. It is creepy.
A creepy version of Hansel & Gretel I thought there cannt be creepier than the tale itself. Just like I thought. Pretty well made
A creative piece and a sisister tale, that seems all the more creepy because of it?s fairy tale connection. Having said that it?s not scary or particularly graphic in terms of gore, but the childrens performances manage to pull off an intriguing story and one that?s worth seeing.
Hansel & Gretel may be an early film on Pil-Sung Yim's directing resume, but this Korean fantasy thriller shows he is no rookie at at this.First things first. This is not a retelling of a fairy tale. This is a Korean thriller with concepts of the Hansel and Gretel<

Smart and well told fable, with a very dark edge. The film do seems to take too much time to tell the story, and for some reasons kind of repeats itself towards the end. Still solid, a fine example of how you should tell a story involving kids. Korean cinema is certainly not dead... read more
The first word I can think of to describe this film is "Gorgeous". Every aspect of every scene. There wasn't a single shot I didn't want to pause on, and every shot would look magnificent hanging on a wall as a painting. The whole film is bathed in a soft gold light that really b... read more
Young man crashes car into forest, gets rescued by three children and their doting parents and is taken to fairytale cottage in the woods. Which he doesn't seem able to leave. Part kitsch story, part scary story, and part sad story, with suitably creepy yet sweet children and yuk... read more
The Korean horror films seem to work because of the director's ability to put elements like horror and drama in such a way that you simply cannot give up on the characters in the story, no matter how much you dislike them. This is definitely the case with Hansel & Gretel, a film ... read more

Great K-horror. Excellent story, interesting characters and gorgeous cinematography and set design. Watch on a double bill with Eraserhead for both sides of the ole fatherhood/responsibility dilemma us modern, video game playing, movie watching, comic book reading 30+ year old ... read more
Hmm wat to say.It was really interesting not really scary thankfully but more so creepy and eerie.The cinematography was beautiful with all the bright colors and it had an interesting story.The children where all great actors and did awesome.
It is a film that is just good enough to keep you hanging around to the end, at which point you leave the theatre feeling vaguely let down. Full Review
The story gets a bit convoluted as it rolls on, rushing through a few too many plot points and explanations, but slowly builds the layers of dread. Full Review
This is consummate filmmaking, where every frame beguiles and unnerves in equal measure. Full Review
Genuinely ghoulish and grim in the best Brothers Grimm tradition. Full Review
It's inconsistent: too predictable and simplistic for adults, too disturbing and bloody for their offspring. It's hard to know who it's for. Full Review
Making up for a selection of recent Asian Horror disappointments, this lush, surreal and brilliantly dark fairy tale is an entertaining and deliciously unsettling experience. Full Review
The production design is terrific - the colour palette is as lurid as a plate of cupcakes. But the film loses its tension in a baggy final act that overexplains the secret of the house. Full Review
Revenge by abandoned children on the treachery of grown-ups ought to be unsetting at the very least, if not spine-tingingly terrifying. But it's done so clumsily that nothing remotely spooky emerges. Full Review
The director may unwisely opt for a lachrymose denouement that ruffles the carefully sustained mood, but this delightfully grim horror is worth seeking out - just follow the breadcrumb trail of positi... Full Review
