Steineded How sad is this?

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

bubbster-02116 To be honest, this movie deserves an F grade. The acting is so hokey pokey, and what makes it even worse is Dee Wallace. First of all, she knows goddamn well that the acting she did was so out of line. She probably felt embarrassed and felt bad for the other actors that they had to be in such garbage. Second of all, how can you survive a pitchfork to the stomach and multiple stabbings. Is the Dad a wizard, no. He is a normal human being like everyone else. Third, they tried to hide the fact that Lilith's home was in a neighborhood with a palm tree, not only that, the transitions were horrible, and you can clearly see there are multiple cars parked in front of the property when they head for the car. So obvious. The ending is terrible as well.

suite92 Set in modern times, say 2013, in a small town in the USA. Hansel and Gretel are brother and sister. Their mother has passed away. Their father is thinking of marrying Ruby, who is three years older than Gretel, selling the house, then moving somewhere else. Hansel, an irresponsible video gamer, runs off and puts his leg in a bear trap. Oi. They see a cabin, which turns out to belong to Lilith, who operates the local general store. Lilith's specialty is a meat pie. When the siblings go to Lilith's house, she feeds Hansel a beef stew that he really likes.Hansel and Gretel stay overnight. Lilith tells Gretel that a neighbor took Hansel to the hospital while Gretel was sleeping. In the meantime, Hansel wakes up in a prison with Jane, Kevin, and Dana. There used to be more in the cell, but they are gone now. They have plenty to eat, all of it cookies, doughnuts, and candies. Kevin informs them that they are being fattened up to be used as meat. They take Dana.Lilith tries to convince Gretel to be her heir, or at least one of the 'family,' such as it is. Gretel resists. Lilith has her dumped in the prison cell. They take Jane, but not before Jane steals a pointy object that she passes to Hansel. He uses it to unlock their shackles and the cell door. Kevin makes a break for freedom; Hansel and Gretel try to rescue Jane. Ruby and the local police look for them, though quite ineffectively.Do any of them escape? Does justice catch up to Lilith?------Scores-------Cinematography: 7/10 Much of the movie looked fine, but some of the dark sections were ridiculously poorly done.Sound: 6/10 The conversation is a close to muted all too often.Acting: 2/10 Dee Wallace was fine, but the rest of the cast was terrible.Screenplay: 0/10 The story made no particular sense. None of the characters were interesting, and I found no reason to care about any of them.

dangrant-658-399979 What a waste of an hour and a half of my life! I'm not sure what's worse: the script, the direction, or the editing! The story jumps about as if there are bits missing from it, and there are dozens of plot-holes and so many "that would never happen in real life" incidents that the film becomes painful to watch. I couldn't even bear to watch it in one go, I had to turn it off after less than an hour and then I watched the rest later on. I only got this film/movie by mistake because I actually wanted to see a different film with a very similar title, but this film looks and feels like it was made by a group of high school students, not a team of professional film makers!

anders_asd This movie is nothing but a poor attempt at doing anything for the viewer. Why the f is it that every time a blockbuster is released, a sh*tty B or C movie is made just to feed of the success of the said blockbuster. If the actors in this movie thought that it was a good idea to participate in this sh*tstorm of a project they thought wrong, But don't give up. there are plenty of really good scripts out there, Get a new agent and quit joining sh*t projects, The movie makers of this flick on the other hand; I have no respect for you guys, The acting is bad, the cinematography is bad, the concept is already taken by Tommy Wirkola, the storyline in bogus and the special fx is not special at all. It looks like the whole movie was made by preschool kid with no hair on his genitalia.
