With my vacation finally here, it was time to start it with
some movies. While I grabbed a few flicks at the Family Video Store, there was
one that really perked my interest. Hansel & Gretel Get Baked from 2013.
Plot/ A brother and sister battle a witch who lures
teenagers into her suburban home with her special blend of marijuana where she
then proceeds to kill and eat them to maintain her youth and beauty.
When I grabbed this, I initially thought it was going
to be some type of indie stoner flick. What I found though, was an interesting
take on the Hansel & Gretel fairy tale. This horror-comedy has many moments
and is a lot of fun. Yes, it isn't side-splitting comedy, but its fun. The cast
works well together and the scripting is solid with the cannibal /zombie / rejuvenation
storyline flowing perfectly. The acting is good, the cinematography straight and
the effects fall into place to add something to the comedic flair. Is it a
perfect movie, no way, but it is a creative twist on a classic tail and one
that should be given a chance.
