Follow the Crumbs to the Creepy Trailer for the Grimm Fairytale Horror Thriller GRETEL & HANSEL
Orion Pictures has released an unsettling first trailer for the dark Grimm fairytale horror thriller Gretel & Hansel. The film stars It star Sophia Lillis as Gretel and it actually looks pretty damn creepy!
According to EW, the story follows Gretel and her younger brother Hansel, played by Sammy Leake. “They leave home during a time of pestilence and famine. On their travels they encounter a kindly huntsman (Charles Babalola) before finding solace in the home of an elderly woman (Alice Krige) whose motives may not be altogether pure.”
For those of you familiar with the story, the elderly woman wants to lure the kids into her over so she can cook them and eat them. People are just crazy like that.
The film comes from Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House) and the script was written by Rob Hayes. Orion is releasing the film on January 31, 2020, and I also included the poster.
