Today I stumbled on a little flick that’s just oozing with potential. It’s a genre retelling of the classic tale of Hansel & Gretel coming from Spotlight Pictures. Oh, and I’m not talking about HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCHHUNTERS.
Who would’ve thought we’d be seeing two flicks based on Hansel and Gretel within a year of each other? Pretty random right? It’s still too early to judge whether either flick is going to be any good but we can look at what we have and go from there. Why don’t I tell you all about this other Hansel and Gretel flick?
The film, coming from director Mike Nichols, is called BREADCRUMBS and is set to star two veterans of the HALLOWEEN franchise: Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN star Kristina Klebe (below) and HALLOWEEN: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS’ Marianne Hagan. Joining the two lovely ladies on this deadly trip through the woods will be Douglas Nyback, Alana Curry and Zoe Sloane.
Once upon a time… Angie, an aging star reluctantly goes on one last shoot for a seedy Producer, on location, in an enchanting old cabin deep in the shadowy forest. While on the shoot the cast and crew encounter Henry, and his little sweet sister Patti, two strange and mysterious children who seem to live in the woods.
A violent attack on the second evening of shooting sends Angie and the rest of the crew into a frighten frenzy. They lock themselves into their secluded cabin and find themselves trapped and surrounded by an unknown assailant. Could these two children be responsible for these vicious attacks?
After witnessing a horrible slaying, Billy, the handsome lead, takes Patti hostage, as a means of gaining leverage against the unknown killer. This proves to be the fatal mistake as, one by one, the crew is horrifically slaughtered until only Patti, Angie, and Henry remain, resulting in a chilling final showdown between the three that ends in a terrifying conclusion.
In this fairy tale of terror, the classic fable of, “Hansel and Gretel,” is re-imagined into a visual enchantment of good and evil… eat the candy, if you dare.
Sounds pretty cool right? If you’re thinking BREADCRUMBS might be worth checking out you’ll want to scope out the early poster for the flick, found directly below. Simple enough, yet very creepy. Plus it sports this awesome tagline: We all live in a house of candy. Nice! We’ll be on the lookout for more BREADCRUMBS updates in the near future so be sure to keep it here for more as we hear it!
