Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is a 2013 American-German action-horror film written and directed

by Tommy Wirkola. It is a continuation to the folk fairy "Hansel and Gretel", which was recorded by
the Brothers Grimm and published in 1812.
Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters was generally panned by mainstream critics, particularly for what they
saw as its weak script and gratuitous violence. However, many horror genre critics were more positive,
viewing the film as unpretentiously entertaining.

Like
The movie is awesome, funny and has a good history. I love the customs and the sets. For example the
candy house is great and there are scared witches. This film is definitely one of the most fun 3D films in
a while and will be enjoyed by fans of horror and fantasy.
There are some nice gory moments and visual effects, but ''Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters'' has
interesting characters and an extremely storyline that makes it a fascinating experience overall.
Dislike
Blood and magic spells are too realistic, that sometimes are disgusting.
