The film is directed by Oz Perkins, produced by Fred Berger, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Dan Kagan, and the screenplay is by Rob Hayes. Sophia Lillis and Sam Leakey portray the main characters, alongside Charles Babalola, Jessica De Gouw and Alice Krige. Gretel and Hansel enter a dark wood in order to find work and food to assist their poor parents, where they stumble upon the home of an evil witch. It was announced in October 2018 that Lillis would star in Gretel and Hansel, an adaptation of the German folklore Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm, with Perkins directing the film from a screenplay he co-wrote with Hayes. Casting began from November 2018 to April 2019. Filming started in November 2018 in Dublin, Ireland. Gretel & Hansel was released in the United States on January 31, 2020, by Orion Pictures through United Artists Releasing. It received mixed reviews, with particular praise for its cinematography and atmosphere, as well as the performances and horror elements, but criticism of its screenplay and pacing. Premise [ edit] The story is described as being set a long time ago in a distant fairy tale countryside and focuses on a young girl ( Sophia Lillis) who leads her little brother (Sam Leakey) into a dark wood in desperate search of food and work, only to stumble upon a nexus of terrifying evil. Cast [ edit] Sophia Lillis as Gretel, a 16-year old girl and Hansel's older sister. [8] Sam Leakey as Hansel, Gretel's 8-year old little brother. Leakey is making his acting debut. [9] Charles Babalola as The Hunter, a young man who helps Gretel and Hansel to go back home. [10] Alice Krige as Holda / The Witch, a terrifying and powerful evil witch who lives in the shadows of the dark wood and kidnaps Gretel and Hansel. [9] Jessica De Gouw as Young Holda / The Witch Production [ edit] In October 2018, the Hollywood Reporter announced that Orion Pictures had started developing a film adaptation based on the German folklore tale Hansel and Gretel, with Oz Perkins directing a screenplay he co-wrote with Rob Hayes and Sophia Lillis starring as the lead character. [11] Sinister producer Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and The Autopsy of Jane Doe producer Fred Berger, partners at Automatik Entertainment, were announced as producers, with Sandra Yee Ling and Macdara Kelleher as executive producers. [12] In November 2018, Charles Babalola was cast as The Hunter, a new character who helps Gretel and Hansel to go back home. [13] In April 2019, Alice Krige, Jessica De Gouw, and Sam Leakey joined the cast, with Leakey making his acting debut. [12] Perkins explained in an interview that the title was changed because this version focuses on Gretel: It's awfully faithful to the original story. It's got really only three principal characters: Hansel, Gretel, and the Witch. We tried to find a way to make it more of a coming of age story. I wanted Gretel to be somewhat older than Hansel, so it didn't feel like two twelve-year-olds – rather a sixteen-year-old and an eight-year-old. There was more of a feeling like Gretel having to take Hansel around everywhere she goes, and how that can impede one's own evolution, how our attachments and the things that we love can sometimes get in the way of our growth. 14] Principal photography on the film began on November 9, 2018, in Dublin, Ireland, and wrapped in December 2018. [15] Additional filming and reshoots commenced in January 2019 in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. Release [ edit] The film was released on January 31, 2020, by United Artists. [9] Reception [ edit] Box office [ edit] In the United States and Canada, the film was released alongside The Rhythm Section, and is projected to gross 4–7 million from 3, 000 theaters in its opening weekend. [16] 6] The film made 2. 3 million on its first day (including 475, 000 from Thursday night previews. 17] Critical response [ edit] On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 56% based on 50 reviews, with an average rating of 6. 22/10. The site's critical consensus reads. Gretel & Hansel ' s rich visuals satisfy, even if this adaptation of a classic fairytale gets a little lost in the woods on the storytelling front. 18] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 64 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews. 19] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "C–" on an A+ to F scale. [17] Chandler Levack from The Globe and Mail wrote, Everything about Gretel & Hansel is weirder, smarter and way more cinematic than I'd expected, thanks to some fascinating movie choices made by director Oz Perkins. Kate Rife from The A. V. Club wrote: If one of the boundaries being tested in this film is viewers' patience, the reward for—to use a refrain repeated throughout the film—'trusting the darkness' is well worth the commitment. Frank Sheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote. Gretel & Hansel may alienate some horror movie fans with its extremely leisurely pacing and emphasis on atmosphere and mood rather than visceral shocks. But while the film certainly demands patience, it provides ample rewards with its lush stylization. " Contrarily, Andrew Barker of Variety wrote that "The problem is that so many of its virtues feel compromised. Mark Kennedy of The Associated Press wrote. Gretel & Hansel is as visually arresting as it is tedious, a 90-minute movie that really should have been a 3-minute music video for Marilyn Manson or Ozzy Osbourne. It's in the horror genre only loosely. It's more eerie, if that's a genre. Actually, it's like dread for 90 minutes. It's dreadful. " References [ edit.

Free gretel hansel. Everyone knows the classic story of Hansel and Gretel. The German fairy tale credited to the Brothers Grimm has served as a cautionary tale aimed at wandering children since its publication in 1812. Numerous storytellers have placed their unique spin on the narrative over the years, though none have approached the terror found in Osgood Perkins upcoming chiller. Gretel & Hansel, the twisted take on the seminal story, opens in theaters on January 31. Like the original, the film will pit two children against a timeless adversary. But Perkins isnt afraid, in the least bit, to turn the story on its head and make exciting creative changes to give his audience something theyve never seen on screen before. We spoke with the director about his pending horror movie, and the five distinct updates he made to the beloved fairy tale. Its A Coming-Of-Age Story About A Young Woman As you can tell from the title, Gretel (Sophia Lillis of IT and IT Chapter Two) is the lead character in Osgood Perkins version- a reversal that was long overdue for the Grimm fantasy story and turns it into a female-focused production. “I dont think Hansel and Gretel ever is thought of as that, ” Perkins tells us, emphasizing that it will serve as an origin story for Gretel. As for the casting of Lillis in this lead role, Perkins shares, “[She] is not only already horror royalty and immediately identifiable by audiences as someone they want to follow – which is so important in today's ridiculously, grotesquely overcrowded landscape of movies and shows – but she is someone people are magnetically drawn to. They can't help it, and thats an automatic win right out of the gates. She's a major star in the making. ” Being marketable is one thing. Perkins goes on to rave about Lillis inherent talents as a leading lady, though, emphasizing what her casting means to the on-screen quality of Gretel & Hansel. “She is one of those actors who doesn't need to do anything on camera to be fascinating, ” Perkins said. “The camera understands her in a way that it has understood a few people in film-acting history. Shes super sophisticated, and her eyes tell everything. ” The ‘Old World Is Nonexistent Here Because the fairy tale has been around for centuries, theres a certain “old world” aesthetic thats present in most tellings of the story. Osgood Perkins emphasized that he is staying far away from that in his version. Dont expect modern-day New York City or anything like that. But he makes it abundantly clear, “Theres no villagers or town squares with, like, chickens and shit. There's no thatched roofs, no buckles on shoes. There's none of that. ” In their place, we get modern flourishes that are untethered to a specific time period. “The witchs house looks like a nightmare, ” Perkins said. “The kids clothing is based more on a turn-of-the-century Soviet look. ” Thats something we definitely havent seen before when telling this vintage Grimm fairy tale. Also, Supporting Characters Have Been Cast Aside As Hansel and Gretel go about their way in the original Grimm story, they run into various benevolent folks who help them reach their destiny in the witchs domain. But in an effort to attain a feeling of hopelessness and isolation, Osgood Perkins stripped away the non-essentials. “Every day, when I was asked how many extras do I want, my answer was, I wanted zero, ” he tells us. “There are no people in the movie who aren't named. There are no extras. No townspeople, There's no crotchety old blind person in the alley. ” When asked why he made the choice to eliminate the background population, Perkins explained, “I wanted it to feel almost apocalyptic. Like this is as bad as the world gets. There's no people left. There's no comfort. ” The Witch Is Definitely A Cannibal If you couldnt already tell, Osgood Perkins wants Gretel & Hansel to feel bleak. At the end of the trailer, the movie is described as “a grim fairy tale. ” In keeping, Osgoods witch (played by Alice Krige) isnt just frightening. “We leaned into cannibalism, ” Perkins proudly states, “which is usually sort of suggested by the story, but we went there. ” In other words, keep the kids at home. Osgood has turned the moderately creepy tale into a full-blown dystopian horror story, and we are here for that. Shes Also A Fully Formed Character You can bet theres an oven waiting for Lillis and young Sammy Leakey, who plays her brother Hansel. But Perkins and his co-screenwriter, Rob Hayes, properly developed the witch as a multi-faceted character so Krige would have several layers to explore. “Our witch character is a fully formed, fully rounded, devastated, soulful human being, as opposed to some kind of a caricature, ” Perkins said. “She's an actual hurting human being. ” As for what Perkins saw in casting Krige, the director admits, “I didn't know what I was looking for in the witch. Everybody kept saying, ‘Whats the witch going to be like? And I kept saying, ‘I have no idea until I see it! And then Alice made a tape for us that was so vibey and so textural and so atmospheric. I don't even know if she meant it to be, but it just was. She was instantly the only person who could have done the part, and Im too lucky to have her. ” Audiences will be able to see what Osgood Perkins has in store for young Sophia Lillis and Sammy Leakey when Orion Pictures Gretel & Hansel revamps the classic and terrifies audiences on January 31, 2020.

In this eerie yet underdeveloped take on the well-known fairy tale, two siblings find food and sorcery deep in the woods. Credit. Orion Pictures Gretel & Hansel Directed by Oz Perkins Fantasy, Horror, Thriller PG-13 1h 27m More Information The director Osgood Perkins specializes in not-quite-horror movies: eerie, patient, female-centric tales that hint at far more than they reveal. In “I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House” (2016) he teased a standard haunting into a conversation between life and death. And with the more bloody “Blackcoats Daughter” (released in the U. S. in 2017) he used shifting timelines and an isolated girls boarding school to examine grief and abandonment. “Gretel & Hansel” finds him relying once again on atmosphere over narrative. Flipping the title of the well-known fairy tale, he sends the two siblings (confidently played by Sophia Lillis and Sammy Leakey) into the deep, dark woods. Famine and disease have ravaged the countryside, and the childrens distraught mother, unable to feed them, has cast them out to fend for themselves. A friendly hunter (Charles Babalola) warns them not to talk to wolves, however seductive; but its their human counterparts who are more to be feared. “Are you intact? ” a leering nobleman asks the teenage Gretel in response to her pleas for a housekeeper position. And when, starving, the two are enticed into the suspiciously food-filled cottage of an old crone (an unsettling Alice Krige) the vile secret behind her abundant vittles might put you off your own. Essentially the story of a young woman coming into her power, “Gretel & Hansel” is quietly sinister, yet too underdeveloped to truly scare. Together, Jeremy Reeds production design and Galo Olivaress photography weave a chilly spell thats regrettably undermined by the opacity of the storytelling. Like our two babes in the wood, the movie needs a bit more meat on its bones. Gretel & Hansel Rated PG-13 for bloody offal and sickening sweets. Running time: 1 hour 27 minutes.

" Hansel and Gretel. also known as "Hansel and Grettel. Hansel and Grethel" or "Little Brother and Little Sister" German: Hänsel und Gret ( h) el [a] ˈhɛnzl̩ ʔʊnt ˈɡʁeːtl̩] is a well-known German fairy tale recorded by the Brothers Grimm and published in 1812. Hansel and Gretel are a young brother and sister kidnapped by a cannibalistic witch living in a forest in a house constructed of gingerbread, cake, confection, candy, and many other treats. The two children escape with their lives by outwitting her. The tale has been adapted to various media, most notably the opera Hänsel und Gretel (1893) by Engelbert Humperdinck. "Hansel and Gretel" is classified under Class 327 of the Aarne–Thompson classification system. A similar fairytale from Hungary is called Cerceruska. Plot [ edit] The story is set in medieval Germany. Hansel and Gretel are the children of a poor woodcutter. When a famine settles over the land, the woodcutter's wife (stepmother to Hansel and Gretel) decides to take the children into the woods and leave them there to fend for themselves so she and her husband will not starve to death. The woodcutter opposes the plan but finally reluctantly submits to his wife's scheme, unaware that Hansel and Gretel have overheard them. After the parents have gone to bed, Hansel sneaks out of the house and gathers as many white pebbles as he can, then returns to his room, reassuring Gretel that God will not forsake them. The next day, the family walks deep into the woods and Hansel lays a trail of white pebbles. Their father lights a fire for them in the woods, and goes to gather more wood. After a while, the kids realize the father isn't coming back. Gretel cries, but Hansel tells her all will be fine. After nightfall, they follow his shiny pebbles back to the house, arriving by morning. Their father is overjoyed, and takes them back in as he was very upset about leaving them in the first place. After a while, famine strikes again, and the stepmother insists that they take the kids back to the forest to leave them. This time, she locks the door to their room so Hansel is unable to gather pebbles. Clever Hansel crumbles up the small piece of bread he is given by his parents, and sprinkles crumbs along their path. Unfortunately, birds eat the crumbs, and they can't find their way home. After searching for a very long time, they come upon a house in the woods made of breads, cakes, and sugar. They eat from the house, as they're very hungry. While they are eating, a witch comes out and invites them inside, offering them a meal, and pretending to be a kind and friendly old woman. After feeding them, she traps them in her house and makes them do chores each day, feeding them well in order to fatten them up for eating. One day, the witch decides it is time to eat, and has Gretel light the oven and provide water for boiling her brother. After a while, the witch asks Gretel to hop in the oven to make sure it is hot enough to bake bread. Gretel, sensing the witch's intent, pretends she does not understand what the witch means. Infuriated, the witch hops into the oven herself to demonstrate what she wants, and Gretel pushes the door closed behind her, leaving "the ungodly creature to be burned to ashes. Gretel frees Hansel from the cage and the pair discover a vase full of treasure and precious stones. Putting the jewels into their clothing, the children set off for home. They arrive home to hear that their stepmother has since died from unknown causes and their father has not had a happy day since they left their home. They live happily ever after with the witch's wealth. History and analysis [ edit] Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm heard "Hansel and Gretel" from Wilhelm's friend and future wife Dortchen Wild [1] and published it in Kinder- und Hausmärchen in 1812. [2] In the Grimms' version of the tale, the woodcutter's wife is the children's biological mother and the blame for abandoning them is shared between both her and the woodcutter. In later editions, some slight revisions were made: the wife became the children's stepmother, the woodcutter opposes her scheme to abandon the children, and religious references are made. citation needed] The sequence where the swan helps them across the river is also an addition to later editions. Another revision was that some versions claimed the mother died from unknown causes, left the family, or remained with the husband at the end of the story. [3] The fairy tale may have originated in the medieval period of the Great Famine (1315–1317. 4] which caused desperate people to abandon young children to fend for themselves or even resort to cannibalism. Folklorists Iona and Peter Opie indicate in The Classic Fairy Tales (1974) that "Hansel and Gretel" belongs to a group of European tales especially popular in the Baltic regions, about children outwitting ogres into whose hands they have involuntarily fallen. The tale bears resemblances to the first half of Charles Perrault 's " Hop-o' My-Thumb. 1697) and Madame d'Aulnoy 's " Finette Cendron. 1721. In both tales, abandoned children find their way home by following a trail. In "Clever Cinders" the heroine incinerates a giant by shoving him into an oven in a manner similar to Gretel's dispatch of the witch, and a ruse involving a twig in a Swedish tale resembles Hansel's trick of the dry bone. Linguist and folklorist Edward Vajda has proposed that these stories represent the remnant of a coming-of-age rite-of-passage tale extant in Proto-Indo-European society. [5] 6] A house made of confectionery is found in a 14th-century manuscript about the Land of Cockayne. [1] The fact that the mother or stepmother dies after the children kill the witch has suggested to many commentators that the mother or stepmother and the witch are metaphorically the same woman. [7] In the Russian Vasilisa the Beautiful, the stepmother likewise sends her hated stepdaughter into the forest, to borrow a light from her sister, who turns out to be Baba Yaga, who is also a cannibalistic witch. Besides highlighting the endangerment of children (as well as their own cleverness) the tales have in common a preoccupation with food and with hurting children: the mother or stepmother wants to avoid hunger, while the witch lures children to eat her house of candy so that she can then eat them. [8] Another tale of this type is the French fairy tale The Lost Children. [9] The Brothers Grimm also identified the French Finette Cendron and Hop o' My Thumb as parallel stories. [10] Cultural significance [ edit] The fairytale enjoyed a multitude of adaptations for the stage, among them the opera Hänsel und Gretel by Engelbert Humperdinck—one of today's most performed operas. [11] A contemporary reimagining of the story, Mátti Kovler 's musical fairytale Ami & Tami, was produced in Israel and the United States and subsequently released as a symphonic album. [12] 13] Elements from the story were used in the 1994 horror film Wes Craven's New Nightmare for its climax. Hansel and Gretel's trail of breadcrumbs has also inspired the name of the navigation element " breadcrumbs " that allows users to keep track of their locations within programs or documents. [14] The most recent adaption of the fairytale is Gretel & Hansel, a 2020 American dark fantasy horror film directed by Oz Perkins.
