Tonight's film was Hansel and Gretel, Witch Hunters. Imagine the two children who ate part of the witch's candy house and got caught by the witch now grown and making a crusade of hunting and killing witches. That's the premise of the film.
Hansel and Gretel feels and looks like a sequel to Van Helsing, the vampire hunter film. That said, it is an attractive, well-made genre film with decent acting, lots of fight scenes, good special effects, and a plot that hangs together. There are even a couple of decent plot twists I will not spoil for you by revealing them.
This will never be one of your favorite flix, but it's a very pleasant evening's entertainment.
