Okay,Just gonna get on with my review,For one thing huge fan of Jhey Castles (Haven't seen her since DEATH RATTLE : CRYSTAL ICE,Since was on The Asylum's 'Naughty List' for 2 years and missed her bigger Hollywierd fare.Jhey leads a coven of witches wanting to pick up where Dee Wallace Stone's LILITH from HANSEL & GRETEL left off.Hansel has really become a Bad Arse Witch Hunter(c) and Gretel,Not so much.The Witch Coven members have different powers and so deaths are pretty creative,If that's a 'Thing'.Oh,Yah,There is A lot of licking going on….

-Hansel Vs. Gretel (2015) movie review: -Hansel Vs. Gretel is exactly how it sounds, down to the sci-fi original cheese. In a modern update, Hansel, who hunt witches, to track down and stop his sister Gretel after she is controlled by a witch. That is all.-Take Frankenstein Vs. The Mummy and make it more enjoyable, dumber, and better handled with the modern update.-So the story is pretty simple and does not try to make too much sense. At all. I feel like I already did this review about two classic storybook characters going at it for the last few minutes of the film. Goodness.-The pace is pretty slow in the middle. Because not much happens.-The acting is bad, but entertaining.-The characters are cheesy, one-dimensional, and inconsistently entertaining! -The music is not fitting and not terrible, but forgettable.-The effects and everything that happens for them to occur are laughable.-I'm going to just get to the point. The film, unlike Frankenstein Vs. The Mummy, does not take itself seriously and was pretty entertaining. The ending dragged on and did not make sense, but the acting, effects, and everything plot related was fun in a cult-classic cheesy kinda way. So without any more hating, I am very happy to say that after watching tons of lame films, I have finally found the first one if the year, because Hansel Vs. Gretel is…. (pause for dramatic effect)…. So bad, it's good! -I should point out it does have some violence and a few F-words, but not a lot.

Picture the scene: You're a hostage. Two people are looking for you. Along the way, the kidnapper has left tantalising 'clues' as to your location... Complete with your various body parts. After discovering a severed eye and a pair of testicles, one of your potential rescuers says to the other "He might still be alive!!!!" Under the circumstances, as the victim I think I'd rather be dead.This is the second reinterpretation I've seen of the age old fairy tale... And it's fascinating to see yet ANOTHER new spin on the fable which has almost nothing to do with the original. In the starry Hollywood reimagining, Hansel was a witch hunter, with Gretel as his partner (and secret good witch), and together they traversed Ye Olde World... Taking out witches with suspiciously (for the time...) modern looking weaponry.This MUCH lower budget effort relocates the action to present day. Hansel still kills magical crones, Gretel is still his occasional sidekick who happens to be a clandestine sorceress and he still has an array of tools to slaughter them with. Here, though (as the title would imply) Gretel is a BAD witch... And plans to murder her brother after he takes out the competition so she can become chief broomstick-riding black-cat-owning of the local area. Can he find out in time now?Watchable for the most part, with a harem of sexy witches that couldn't be further from the long nosed. green skinned monsters of yore, this isn't half bad... Until we get to the grande finale. Oops. Not only do the events that transpire not make a lick of sense, but what is supposed to be a special effects laden extravaganza peters out like cheap wine...We get the SAME DAMN ineffective purple blast effect used OVER and OVER again, and some rubbishy glowing generated nonsense which resembles a pumpkin on Halloween. It's the kind of stuff an amateur could add to his Youtube video using a cheap graphics program... Which is GREAT if you want to impress your school buddies. In a feature film however, it's pretty indefensible... regardless of the cost of production.Plus, the open ended nature of the conclusion would indicate the word 'sequel' isn't too far from the producer's mind. I'm calling it right now... This will NOT be happening. If they used up their A-material with this, I dread to think what a follow-up would be like... Still, you can't ENTIRELY hate any flick with the immortal exchange: " I can explain..." "YOU BETTER F***ING EXPLAIN WHY YOU TORE OUR GRANDMOTHER'S HEAD OFF!!". Trust me... It's much funnier in context... 4/10

The scam artists who made this are trying hard to fool the poor suckers who goes for this horrible, horrible waste of time. Their idea is to capitalize on the big Hollywood release "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters."Made by Asylum, these people are famous for putting out low budget trash as with titles that mimic big movie releases. They figure that even if 25 people fall for this, based on the buzz about the big release, they will have made their money back. However, I think they failed. I don't think 25 people bothered with this film. Poor, poor acting. Non existent script. Super lousy production values. These people are the ones who give Hollywood the bad name that people shame all over the world.Complete and utter waste of time.
