Hansel & Gretel Get Baked
SYNOPSIS
Deze vreetkick wil je écht niet meemaken!
Wanneer Ashton, het stonervriendje van Gretel (Molly Quinn), op zoek gaat naar de bron van een supersterke wietvariant, komt hij uit bij een gek oud dametje uit Pasadena (Lara Flynn Boyle uit Twin Peaks). Helaas gaat achter het bizarre besje een bloeddorstige heks schuil die het op zijn jeugd gemunt heeft. Dodelijk ongerust om Ashtons verdwijning, trommelt Gretel haar oudere broer Hansel (Michael Welch) op. Omdat die vindt dat zijn zus veel te zwaar aan de zaak tilt, zoekt Gretel dan maar hulp bij Bianca, wiens vriendje eveneens verdwenen is. Voor ze het goed en wel beseffen, raken de meiden verdwaald in het ondergrondse labyrint van de heks, een hellegat dat wemelt van zombies en demonen... Kan Hansel hen nog redden uit de klauwen van de heks?
Deze hilarische horrorfilm van één van de producers van Twilight neemt een dodelijk loopje met het beruchte sprookje van de Gebroeders Grimm.
REVIEWS
- ScreenDaily.com: Fairy-tale horror and stoner comedy combine to good effect in Hansel And Gretel Get Baked, a smart and entertaining youth-orientated chiller that delivers a goodly amount of gore along with the slacker laughs. Molly C. Quinn is great as Gretel, a smart stoner turned investigator, and shows that she can carry a lead role, while Lara Flynn Boyle gets to change her persona from wrinkly old crone to would-be sex kitten.
- 28dayslateranalysis.com: actress Lara Flynn Boyle anchors the film expertly with her character, the notorious witch of German fairytales. All of the performances are solid, but this film will be remembered for its hilarity and light-hearted mood.
- AlienBee.net: a really fun movie! Even though it doesn't have that blockbuster budget there are so many things about the movie that make up for it. Great acting, some fun special effects and that special, special witch played by Lara Flynn Boyle, she's both beautiful and deadly you know!
- Best-horror-movies.com: Hansel & Gretel Get Baked is most definitely worth a watch. This film has camp, gore, stupid drug references, flayings alive and killer dogs – not to mention the most amazing indoor pot-growing mecca ever conceived.
- Bloody-disgusting.com: The film doesn't try to do anything outside of retelling the fairy tale with more stoner humor and bloody carnage. However, that's what makes it so enjoyable in the first place. There are fun characters with good dialogue. The dark humor hits its marks and the script has some clever moments. The gore and scares are satisfying and messy. Better yet, there's even a cameo by Carry Elwes with a ridiculous mustache. Hansel and Gretel Get Baked is a lot of fun for the comedy loving horror fan in all of us.
- Britflicks.com: Ever wondered what happened to Lara Flynn Boyle? Catch her in this stoner horror that loosely uses the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale for gore and smiles.
- Dreadcentral.com: Hansel & Gretel Get Baked is fun whether you're a big fan of stoner comedy or not. There's a ton of action, nice effects, witches, zombies, cannibalism and a badass demonic Doberman.
- Goodefficientbutchery.blogspot.nl: Well-made, doesn't fall into the trap of repetitive and annoying stoner humor and Boyle, who hasn't been seen in much since the 2005-2006 season of the NBC series LAS VEGAS, really gets a chance to cut loose here and have some fun.
- Horrornews.net: a goofy, entertaining picture that is worth catching for its spirited performances, gruesome special effects and spicy black comedy.
- Mikeschiller.blogspot.nl: This was a very entertaining movie with a lot of black comedy, it was certainly a unique and very modern spin on the classic children's story. This is the first time I've seen Michael Welch in a movie other than the Twilight series and his performance was excellent.
- Thehorrorclub.blogspot.nl: the movie takes on a more serious tone as things progress, and it all ends up being a solid mixture of bloody and fun.
Wegotthiscovered.com: there are some wickedly entertaining moments that produce an inconsistant yet intoxicating high.
