Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters: Blu-ray Review

Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters Blu-ray Review

Hansel and Gretel is not for the faint-hearted. I had a friend who couldn't tolerate the gore, and she ended up leaving the cinema hall before the halfway mark. You can find a million flaws in the movie, starting from the bizarre use of weaponry to the language, both of which are highly off beat with the time period. But if you are watching this picture, you definitely enjoy decapitated bodies
with blood varnishing the rural countryside. And what’s more, there is plenty of humor to be had as well. Hansel needs to take regular insulin injections because of gingerbread overdoses he endured in his childhood, at the hands of that infamous witch we know from our bedtime stories. All in all, it is what it is. This is a movie for the undemanding viewer with plenty of action and a pinch of humor.
