Dir: Yim Pil-sung
2007
****
If all thrillers/horrors looked this good I'd be down the cinema much more often. Pil-Sung Yim's Hansel & Gretel is a breath of fresh air, not only is it original even though based on the popular children's fairytale but it is also clever and stunningly beautiful. The set pieces are awesome and really do make the film. I thought the film was left with quite a clever conclusion as well, I know many were disappointed but I thought it was pretty well handled. Highly recommended, the antidote to the overdone 'Ring' style J-horror films.
