Childrens Classic Hansel And Gretel Gets A Gruesome, Gory and Grown-Up Makeover In New Movie

This new version of the well-known fairy tale is a far cry from the Disney-fied version as it packs a punch with aplot full of violence and gore.

If you thought fairy tales were all pampered princesses and happily-ever-afters then think again!

In this dark, disturbing spin on the fairy tale, siblings Hansel and Gretel are a formidable team of bounty hunters who track and kill witches with the original Brothers Grimm bedtime story given a stylish shake up.

Hansel and Gretel:Witch Hunters opens in cinemas nationwide on January 11th 2013
