Gretel and Hansel switches up the original grimm fairy tale in several ways and throughout this video we’ll be discussing the overall plot and it’s ending.

There will be heavy spoilers here so if you haven’t had a chance to see the movie and don’t want anything ruined then I highly recommend that you turn off now.

Gretel and Hansel Opening Scene

Gretel and Hansel opens with it’s own sort of fairytale centred around The Beautiful Child With The Little Pink Cap. This introduction tells the story of a young baby that falls terribly ill and in order to save it, her father resorts to taking the child to a witch.

The Witch manages to get rid of the illness but as a trade off it places a dark power within her.

Later in the film, Gretel discusses how there is nothing good without something being taken away and this is exemplified early on in the opening.

The entire movie is about how if something sounds too good to be true it often is and this is mirrored in the amazing food, roof over their head and so on later in the film.

As the young girl grows she becomes a profit, providing premonitions of the future to the villagers, however, they begin to dislike her as everyones life ends in death but we don’t really want to be told this.

The girl began bringing these prophecized deaths to reality and started slowly killing the villagers including her own father. Left with little option, she was taken her into the woods and abandonded there. This child would grow up to become someone that is central to the storyline here and i’ll get into this later in the video.

It’s a really eerie way to kick start the film and from the off Gretel and Hansel stylistically hits all of the right notes. Orion Pictures aren’t really known for high brow horror but this feels up there stylistically with the likes of an A24 movie and that’s because of their high quality back catalogue. In a year where we’ve had things like The Grudge already, it shows that you don’t need to pack films with jumpscares in order for them to have a sinister vibe.



I love that the film carries the message there is always a catch and I’m sure in the end that the parents of the girl would have rather had the illness than what eventually ended up happening to her and them.

We learn that a witch has been luring children into the woods and this is when we jump to Gretel and her younger brother Hansel.

Gretel is sent out to find work as a housekeeper but after her potential employer asks if she’s a virgin, it becomes clear what his intentions are.

Angered by her refusal to do whatever she can to get a job, Gretel’s mother kicks her and her younger brother out of the house and they slowly make their way out into the woods to fend for themselves.

Now I’ll get one of my major criticisms out of the way first and that is that Sophia Lillis does a poor job at masking her American accent. Whilst this wouldn’t be a problem in a film where everyone had a similar sort of dialect, here, where the majority of the cast sound british, it does stick out like a sore thumb. I don’t know if I’m just picking up on that because I’m british and she does a great job with the material.

It is just a nitpick and the girl can clearly act and she pretty much carries the entire film on her shoulders so I don’t want to be too harsh but I just thought I’d get that out here so I can talk about the film in a more positive light as we go on.

When making their own way in the world they come across a hunter who rescues the siblings from a ghoul and later some...
