Hansel and Gretel go to a boarding school and soon discover that it is inhabited by witches. Luckily, they are descended from a line of witch hunters!
I love that Hansel and Gretel not only had a big theatrical film at the end of 2012, but also had an Asylum release (with Dee Wallace) and this even lower film, directed by David DeCouteau. The fairy tale theme has been milked hard lately (we also had two Snow Whites), and nowhere has it probably been milked harder than in this film.
At least we have Eric Roberts! He is not credited on IMDb -- perhaps he no longer wants to get credit for his cheesy work, or they could not afford his SAG salary. But there he is, in glasses!
Although this film is bad, it is not quite as bad as some have made it out to be. I suspect they have not seen much of DeCouteau's more recent work. Compared to some of his films in the last ten years (which seem to be excuses to have young men take their shirts off), this one actually made some attempt at being a story...
