Rated: PG-13; Runtime: 1hr 27min

US Wide Release: January 31

Synopsis: Evicted from their family home by their unstable mother, Gretel and Hansel must now set off through the woods to fend for themselves. When they stumble upon an inviting home, with a seemingly unending supply of food, they soon realize things may not be as idyllic as they first appeared.


Next up, Daniel Isn’t Real, yet another interesting-looking Spectrevision production. This one’s about a childhood imaginary friend who returns to help his old playmate in his time of need. Kind of sounds like Drop Dead Fred. I sure hope it’s like Drop Dead Fred

Synopsis: Students, Kat & Rose, are left behind at their catholic boarding school over break after their parents fail to pick them up. Alone with only a couple nuns to look after them, Rose begins to suspect something might be wrong with the quiet, kinda odd Kat.
In a separate plot line we follow Joan, who appears to have escaped from a hospital of some kind. A good-intentioned couple offers her a ride, & we discover that their path seems to be heading in the direction of the boarding school.
