In the dark fantasy horror Gretel & Hansel, director Osgood Perkins reimagines the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale with a chilling, atmospheric twist. The story follows young Gretel (Sophia Lillis) and her younger brother Hansel (Samuel Leakey), who are cast out of their impoverished home by their desperate mother. Forced to fend for themselves in a foreboding, supernatural forest, they stumble upon a mysterious, isolated house in the woods, drawn by the promise of food and shelter. The dwelling is owned by a seemingly kind, yet deeply unsettling old woman (Alice Krige), who offers them warmth and sustenance but harbors a sinister agenda. As Gretel begins to awaken to a latent, dark power within herself, she must protect her brother and uncover the witch’s true, malevolent intentions. The film masterfully blends psychological horror with a haunting, fairy-tale aesthetic, exploring themes of survival, temptation, and the blurred line between innocence and evil. With its deliberate pacing, eerie visuals, and a breakout performance from Lillis, this is a brooding, modern take on a timeless story.
