Nominated for Best Film at the 2008 Sitges International Fantasy Film Festival Hansel and Gretel is a visually stunning and truly affecting fable about the destruction of childhood dreams, the loss of innocence and the power of the imagination to overcome life's horrors.

Thematically and tonally comparable to Guillermo del Toro's ‘Pan's Labyrinth', Juan Antonio Bayona's ‘The Orphanage' and the works of author Angela Carter (The Company Of Wolves), Hansel and Gretel, the latest feature from South Korean writer-director Yim Phil-Sung (Antarctic Journal), takes its initial inspiration from the classic Brothers Grimm story and effectively employs it as the basis to reinvent the fairy tale as a dark and chimerical adult mystery for the modern age.

A dark and gripping fairy tale for adults, Hansel and Gretel is also a feast for the eyes, boasting sumptuous production design by Ryu Seong-hee (The Host; Oldboy) and outstanding cinematography by Kim Ji-yong (Forbidden Quest; A Bittersweet Life).

Hansel and Gretel (cert. 15) will be released on DVD by Terracotta Distribution 6th April 2009. Special Features include; ‘Making of' featurette; interview with production designer, Ryu Seong-hee; teaser trailer.
