Gretel & Hansel
Based on the German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm comes this horrifying adaptation titled Gretel & Hansel. When the titular siblings (Sophia Lillis, Sammy Leakey) venture off into the dark woods as runaways, their hunger leads them to follow the smell of cakes, where they stumble upon a witch’s home.
The children are able to take shelter in her home, and she provides food for the two hungry siblings.

Slowly the children become trapped in a nightmarish reality deep within the woods.
