Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is the soon-to-be-released action horror comedy movie that is co-written by Dante Harper, and has been directed by Tommy Wirkola. Due to the fact that this movie if Dante Harper’s screenwriting debut, there are many persons who are skeptical about whether or not this film will be a hit in theaters. However, you can read this movie review to find out if it is worth watching when it is finally released.
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is actually a continuation to the Brothers Grimm film Hansel and Gretel. The leading roles will be played by Gemma Arterton (Gretel) and Jeremy Renner (Hansel), while Famke Janssen will play the role of the leader of a coven of malignant witches whom Hansel and Gretel wish to destroy.
There is not much that can be said about this film; however, this movie review can tell you that the movie will show the lives of Hansel and Gretel approximately fifteen years after they had the gingerbread house incident. Both Hansel and Gretel are now bounty hunters who have dedicated their lives to destroying evil witches. Through the years, the siblings have become expert hunters who are well known for destroying and tracking down witches. Even though they are still recovering from the incident at the gingerbread house, they find their bounty hunter work very easy as for reasons unknown to them dangerous curses and spells do not work very well against them.
In Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters the Mayor of Augsburg has asked the siblings to save the nearby forests and the town from an evil sorceress (played by Janssen), who plans to offer several of the local children as sacrifices in approximately two days, when the witches gather for Blood Moon night. To make the hunt even more difficult, Hansel and Gretel have to deal with Sheriff Berringer (played by Stormare) who has taken over the town of Augsburg, and has started his own chaotic witch hunt.
Something that ought to be said in this movie review is that Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is nothing like your typical fairytale story; it has been labeled as an action adventure horror film for a reason. Even though the idea of the siblings growing up to become witch hunters has an old-time ring to it, modern technology is also showcased in the film as there are times when you will see some intense pump-action shotgun moments.
