With a wily and absurdist flare, The Truffle Hunters captures a precarious ritual constantly threatened by greed and outside influences but still somehow protected by those clever, tight-lipped few who know how to unearth the magic within nature. The pair manage to escape when Gretel shoves the witch into an oven. ![]() With unprecedented access to the elusive truffle hunters, filmmakers Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw (The Last Race, 2018 Sundance Film Festival) follow this maddening cycle from the forest floor to the pristine restaurant plate. Still, this small enclave of hunters induces a feverish buying market that spans the globe. The only souls on Earth who know how to dig it up are a tiny circle of canines and their silver-haired human companions-Italian elders with walking sticks and devilish senses of humor-who only scour for the truffle at night so as not to leave any clues for others. It cannot be cultivated or found, even by the most resourceful of modern excavators. Desired by the wealthiest patrons in the world, it remains a pungent but rarified mystery. As the latest in the trend of revisionist fairy-tale telling, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters takes the low road whenever possible, but it does so with a blithe spirit, a foul mouth, and the above-mentioned gore galore to create a B-movie soul that pities any sort of critical over-analyzing. Don't watch this expecting to take away anything - it's really only just for the lawls.Deep in the forests of Northern Italy resides the prized white Alba truffle. There might be some people complaining about what an inadequate film this was with respect to plot, but that would be missing the point. Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters - Blu-ray - Fifteen years after a horrific experience in a deceptively inviting ginger bread house, an orphan Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) have become famous for ridding the countryside of witches. ![]() But they were careful enough that the anachronisms were funny in the context of the world-building instead of being glaring anomalies. Brother/sister duo Hansel and Gretel are professional witch-hunters who help. Their other jokes relied on anachronisms (weapons, fanboys, crime investigations). In this dark spin on the fairy tale, siblings Hansel and Gretel are a formidable. It doesn't work in a physiological sense - but who cares? It was really funny that they even made that connection! There was an incredible amount of gore in this movie but I suppose that itself was a joke, given the premise of the movie. The plot of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is also very standard, you know exactly how it is going to play out, so are never worried how the pair will fare during the climactic action scenes. Like how Hansel has a "medical condition" (not spoiling it here). I think movie was just trying to be funny, and I think their jokes worked. ![]() Clocking in at a little over an hour, it could have been season finale of a B-grade TV series of the same premise. Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) After getting a taste for blood as children, Hansel and Gretel have become the ultimate vigilantes, hell-bent on retribution. She was portrayed by Famke Janssen, who also played Rachel Wright in I Spy, Xenia Onatopp in GoldenEye and Dark. She is the leader of the Black Witches and the arch-nemesis of Hansel and Gretel.

Hansel is painfully dragged (via broomstick) through a forest, winding up high in a tree. A man struggles as he hangs from a noose his wife burns in a pyre beyond. I only saw it because I got passes to a free advance screening. A witch (via magic) forces a boy to shoot his own mother and a man to commit suicide with a shotgun. Gretel, however, guessed what she wanted to do, and said, I don’t know how to get in through that narrow door. If you watched the trailers and *didn't* expect it to be terrible, I'd be very, very surprised. But if Gretel had obeyed her, she would have shut the poor child in and baked her for dinner, instead of boiling Hansel. Then fast forwards to years later and shows us the siblings all grown up. This is not a quality film and I don't think they even meant it to be good or memorable. Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters starts with the familiar opening. ![]()
