Hansel & Gretel (헨젤과 그레텔)
Mar 7th
Synopsis:
A children’s beloved fairy tale takes a bizarre and frightening twist in Hansel and Gretel, a blood-spatting fantasy horror from award-winning director Lim Pil Seong. The film stretches the audience’s imagination by asking, “What would have happened if Hansel and Gretel were forever trapped in the dark woods?”
Cheon Jeong-myeong stars as Eun Soo, who was abandoned by his mother at an early age. While on his way to reunite with his long-lost mother, Eun Soo runs into an accident and loses consciousness. Waking up in the middle of a dark forest, he meets a red-cloaked girl who guides him to her eerie-looking house where he meets her strange family. Though it’s quite obvious that there are no contacts with the outside world, the house is somehow always filled with toys, sweets, and other unimaginable goodies. Eun Soo soon learns there is no way out of the forest and a few days later, he notices that the children are bringing in more grown-ups from the woods. (Credits: Yesasia.com)
