Hansel & Gretel: Warriors of Witchcraft

How this amateurish dribble got on to DVD that I paid £5 for thinking it was another version of the same name like a few others also here have been caught out.I was embarrassed just watching this and only saw it through because I couldn't believe how bad it is,hoping it would improve but alas no such luck.Please how in heaven did this ever get to be made in the first place.what were they thinking,acting, fight scenes & CGI abysmal and laughable. If it was a group of high school kids making this with a camcorder then yes OK good effort but needs more work! I really don't like to be negative but I was honestly shocked at the poor quality of this production.If it was done as some sort of joke then they pulled that off magnificently.

THat is the only way this movie can be useful. If someone lost a bet with you, make them watch this because after that viewing,they'll be very afraid of you. The movie felt so amateurish in terms of direction and also acting. I think most or all the movies the director have done are crap. If u check his filmography on IMDb, it all shows crappy storyline and the same budget. All his movies seem to have a 1 million budget but i think this movie had about a $50000 budget. The cinematography was crappy and the screen looked burly most of the time. Plus,the director uses the same footage over and over again at different parts of the movie.

The worst things about this movie aren't even the cinematography and the really slow pace. It's the acting and again,the direction. Both the lead actors didn't do much of anything. They just tried to look good and maintained just a single expression throughout the movie. Whatever happens,it's the same expression from the beginning to the end. But what can you expect from an actor who played a supporting actor in Twilight movies? You can forgive them for their crappy acting though,because they are relatively new and the only reason they are still getting roles is because the male lead was in Twilight. What we shouldn't forgive is what Eric Roberts did in the name of acting. That's atrocious. Unforgivable!! Of course,not many is going to know or watch this movie. Maybe that's why he did this movie. But the way he acted kind of shocked me. He looked like he was high on something all the time. Just watch the scene where he trains the girl. Either he was purposely acting like that to show the effects of getting high or he was freaking high at that time. Maybe that was his payment for the movie. I really thought that Eric Roberts was back to his prime after his role in The Dark Knight and The Expendables but i guess i was wrong. He seems to be more comfortable in low budget amateur movies. Anyways,even if Eric Roberts did a great job in this or he was replaced by a better actor, the movie still would have remained as a crappy movie filled with nonsense acting and direction. That's the bottom line and i warn you,better avoid this movie. Don't even watch it as a dare. It's that bad.

Avoid like the plague.

Poor script, bad acting, awful continuity.

Same shots used over and over again.

This is as poor as it gets.

As I Need 10 lines I'm going to steal from the Goofs page...This becomes a game...

'Ella's (Fivel Stewart) shirts are always changing. Sometimes she's wearing a completely different shirt/outfit in one scene from the previous. Sometimes the shirt's aren't even on worn the correct way as seen when she's wearing her white top with the dog picture. Another time is when she's talking to Dr. Keegan and suddenly she has to leave but runs into the principle, her shirt goes from her white top to her brown sweater top from earlier scenes.'

The other thing to do is spot the extra...several appear several times even walking in 2 different directions in adjoining shots.

If this was a school project it might have just been acceptable. As it is not it is an abomination. I watched only through disbelief. Just dreadful, it should have a health warning. The poster (cover) bares no relation to the film and who ever promotes this should be prosecuted under some miss-representation of goods act! The acting would be laughable if it had been better, the continuity is nonexistent and did someone actually think no one would notice the repeated scenes, then again they were lucky someone watched at all! It beggars belief that a film company would thing making this was a good idea and how do they manage to survive.

While some knock offs (movies that have been done in the shadow of a big budget movie, another Hansel & Gretel in this case) are really interesting and good, this is neither. It doesn't look as bad as I heard people say it looks (lighting wise and considering the fact, that there must have been almost no money to shoot it), but in all the other departments it lacks.

The two main actors share the same last name, so they might actually be relatives (I didn't bother to look that up), as they are in the movie too. This doesn't influence their abilities to act that way though. Eye candy is provided (male and female department), but nothing to enhance the viewing pleasure. Eric Roberts almost has nothing to do (other than look suspicious around corners, I kid you not) and the overall editing can be described as bad! Just bad! It's a time waister alright, but one you should avoid
