A modern take on “Hansel & Gretel”. It’s not horror, but something like a harsher Xmas movie for kids. With his kink for puppets, dolls and other dummies, James Wan could make hell out of this. ()
Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? isn't exactly an atmospheric horror film where you're on edge the whole time you're watching it. You're on edge wondering if the original tale of "Hansel and Gretel" will truly be fulfilled, or rather how the creators adapted it. That’s not a bad thing. The confrontation between the children and their guardian has something unpleasant about it. ()
