Director Osgood Perkins brings full flavor to a familiar fairy tale with Gretel & Hansel.
"A fairy tale has a way of getting into your head," promises the new Gretel & Hansel trailer. "Even before you hear it." Directed by Osgood Perkins, the upcoming adaptation of the classic cautionary story from the Brothers Grimm looks like it will leave a trail of breadcrumbs to the dark subconscious. And the oven hasn't even been pre-heated.
Orion Pictures’ Gretel & Hansel stars Sophia Lillis as Gretel, and Sammy Leakey as her hungry little brother. The huntsman is played by Charles Babalola. Holda, the culinary crone, is played by Alice Krige. Jessica De Gouw plays the Young Holda. The screenplay was written by Rob Hayes.

The latest pseudo ripoff by The Asylum is Hansel Gretel clearly intended to springboard off of the promotion and popularity of Hansel Gretel Witch Hunters. The story is about a sickeningly sweet bakery owner (Dee Wallace) who has a secret craving and dark supernatural leanings and her star employee who is none other than Gretel herself (Stephanie Greco). Gretel of course has a brother Hansel (Brent Lydic) who is a bit troubled after the loss of his mother and even worse for wear with the knowledge that his widowed father is about to marry is very young girlfriend. Soon enough the duo discovers that the sweet shop owner is hungry very hungry and the two of them are possibly on the menu.

The Asylum recently released Hansel & Gretel, a modern take on the classic story that stars Dee Wallace as the witch. While we talked about her interest in playing the villain in Hansel & Gretel, I also learned about why she likes to perform many of her own stunts, and she told me about her time working with Rob Zombie on The Lords of Salem:
You recently appeared as the witch in Hansel & Gretel. Why were you interested in taking on this particular role?
Dee Wallace: First of all, because Anthony Ferrante approached me. I worked once with Anthony and I think he’s a brilliant new director, and a truly nice guy. When I read the script, I thought it was such an innovative take on the Hansel and Gretel story. It stays very true to the story, but updates it in a way that is good for 2013 and the horror genre.

The Asylum is at it again with their latest “Mockbuster”, Hansel & Gretel. Made for a fraction of the budget of that other Hollywood flick, this film follows a different path then the blockbuster version. Directed by Anthony C. Ferrante (Boo, Headless Horseman), his version follows more closely to the original Brothers Grimm dark fairy tale, only updated for today’s audience, while the other is a much looser adaptation of the story.
We have the two titular protagonists, Hansel Grimm (Brent Lydic) and Gretel Grimm (Stephanie Greco-The Haunting of Whaley House) as two young adults struggling with their small town lives. Hansel seems to be a slacker who plays video games all day with his...

The latest edition of the Indie Spotlight contains all of the recent independent horror news sent our way. In this feature, we have a zombie short called The Mmi Dead, a trailer for the Manos: The Hands of Fate retro video game, and much more:
The Mmi Dead: “The Mmi Dead, Minneapolis Media Institute’s take on the zombie craze is a mix of The Walking Dead, Night of the Living Dead, The Wizard of Oz, and our love movies in general (serious and campy). We shot most of this in a single day and worked on the post-production in our spare time over the month for December, 2012. It was an ambitious project and we are very happy with what we achieved. Hope you enjoy it too!”

We’re used to seeing Dee Wallace as the heroine being terrorized in a myriad of horror films. A new take on the classic fairy tale Hansel & Gretel will let her do the terrorizing for a change, and she may have worse things is store for the brother and sister besides cannibalism.
With the absurd looking Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters set to put a new spin on the classic fairy tale, it's not surprising The Asylum would want to get in on the action with its own version.
Synopsis:
In this modern retelling of the classic horror tale, teen siblings are enslaved by a psychotic recluse within her gruesome house of horrors in the woods.
Dee Wallace (Gremlins, Cujo, The Howling) stars as the horrifying hermit who traditionally has questionable culinary intentions directed at the famous siblings when they make the grave mistake of entering her humble abode.

Welcome to Elliotsville. It’s like your typical American small town, except the residents are kinda robots. Okay, they’re not so much kinda, they’re pretty much robots. So what happens when you take that set-up and add a gang of sexy female bikers (cause if they were fat and ugly, it just wouldn’t be any fun) and some gun-toting redneck types (I know what you’re thinking: what, there are other types of rednecks?) into the mix? Hopefully lots of blood, gunplay, and exploding robots. Check out a trailer for Leigh Scott’s “Chrome Angels” below, which features some nifty gunplay and lots and lots of exploding squibs. Starring Stacey Dash, Paul Le Mat, Frida Show, Eliza Swenson, Kristen Quintrall, Jackey Hall, Dean N. Arevalo, Collin Galyean, Brent Lydic, and Monti Domingue. Written and directed by Leigh Scott.
