Movie Reviews: Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters was not generally screened for critics.
However, the New York Post‘s Lou Lumenick got a look at it, and his review may cast some light on why Paramount elected not to let critics see it in advance.
Calling the movie, “direct-to-video-grade dreck,” Lumenick remarks:
“January is a traditional dumping ground for Hollywood studio mistakes, and this one’s a real stinker that’s been mouldering on the shelf.”
He goes on:
“When a flick’s been whittled down to just 80 minutes before the end credits, it’s a sure sign of a dump job designed to suck up as many dollars as possible before lethal word-of-mouth spreads.”
