Requiem for a Fairy Tale: Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
By Rex Reed 1/29 5:02pm
Once upon a time, about eight centuries ago, when Little Red Riding Hood was
being eaten by a wolf in granny glasses, there lived a pair of starving
orphans named Hansel and Gretel who were lured into a house in the woods
made entirely of candy and cookies by a grotesque old hag who intended to
fatten them up and chow down. But the siblings outsmarted the old witch,
popped her in the oven instead, and escaped, vowing never, as long they
lived, to eat gingerbread again. This gruesome tale was translated by the
Brothers Grimm in 1812 from a German fable that dates back to 1315. It’s
been delighting children ever since, in numerous movies, cartoons and operas
, and now finds its way back to the shopping mall cineplex in the hobbled
IMAX splatterfest Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. Times have changed. In an
age of zombies, werewolves and oversexed vampires, teens won’t be shaking
in their Uggs over ugly women with bad teeth flying around on brooms, and
with its graphic depictions of tortures, mutilations, gang rapes and myriad
examples of child abuse, it’s no longer a fairy tale suitable for children.
I’m not sure it’s much of a movie for anybody else, either. Hansel grew up
to be Jeremy Renner, from The Hurt Locker. Gretel grew up to be Gemma
Arterton, one of the dullest of all Bond girls in Quantum of Solace. Both of
them are clearly slumming. Devoting their lives to saving other children
from carnivorous witches, goblins and other pedophiles, they take on
sheriffs, preachers, hysterical mobs and whole towns hell-bent on burning
real witches, while saving innocent girls falsely accused of “consorting
with the spawn of the devil.” They are bounty hunters called in by a
terrified village where the children are disappearing. Killing witches keeps
them in groceries. They get extra for trolls. But Hansel has a heart—as
well as a raging Johnson that needs attention. After saving a pretty redhead
from a bonfire with her name on it, the first thing he does is join her
skinny-dipping. He takes to nudity fast, but don’t offer him a Baby Ruth.
Suffering from candy poisoning contracted years ago when he was trying to
eat his way out of that gingerbread house, he has to jam a primitive
hypodermic needle of medieval insulin into his body every day to stay alive.
Meanwhile, Gretel gets her kicks, too, as a scantily-clad medieval pepper
pot with throbbing cleavage who attracts the fanatic attention of a friendly
, humongous troll named Edward with a head the size of a Volks-
wagen. Then she is rescued, from one of her many attempted rapes at the
hands of a gang of rival witch hunters who keep flesh-eating dogs, by a
teenage groupie who hides her in his hut in the forest and tries awkwardly
to be a host. (“I’m sorry, would you like some porridge?”) Yes, there are
fans and autograph hunters in the 14th century, too. I figure one Hansel
and Gretel is worth two Rapunzels.
Norwegian B-movie writer-director Tommy Wirkola makes his bid for Hollywood
action glory with this R-rated hokum, providing plenty of regurgitated
violence mixed with a few random licks of humor—a formula he examined more
creatively in his gory but hair-raising 2009 horror picnic Dead Snow, about
a present-day group of good-looking medical students on a skiing vacation
who find themselves at the mercy of a battalion of frozen Nazi zombies on
icy slopes in Bavaria. This time, the comedy is forced and corny. I had fun
for a while watching the primitive spikes, guns, slings and other toys of
mass destruction, and enjoyed Famke Janssen as a powerful witch named Muriel
, flying across the moon on primitive pitchforks, searching for the heart of
a good witch like Billie Burke and conjuring gross-out spells like “The
Hunger for Crawling Things.” But I doubt that they had Strike Anywhere
matches in the 14th century, and I’m pretty sure nobody said things like “
Whatever happens, stay cool.”
Whatever happens, stay home.
