Common card · No. 381441

Hansel & Gretel is a 2013 American direct-to-video dark fantasy horror film produced by The Asylum and directed by Anthony C. Ferrante, starring Dee Wallace, Brent Lydic and Stephanie Greco. The film is a modern retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairytale of the same name, taking place in Candlewood, New Jersey and follows the eponymous pair of adolescent siblings who find themselves kidnapped by a cannibalistic bakery-owning witch who devours human meat as a way to rejuvenate her youth. It was released on January 8, 2013, considered a "mockbuster", intended to capitalize on the release of Paramount and MGM's film Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. A sequel was released on January 20, 2015, titled Hansel vs. Gretel and takes place several years after the first film, following Hansel who becomes a witch hunter and must battle his sister, who is under a dark spell and is trying to become the new leader of a coven of witches.
