#9 - Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (Film, 2013)

Summary: Hinged upon a mysterious past in which siblings Hansel and Gretel lose their parents in an unknown way, the siblings have grown up with quite a reputation for slaying witches, beginning with their rise to fame as kids when they burn the witch within the candy house.  When summoned to a local village to accept a contract and rescue the witch-napped children, Hansel and Gretel find themselves trapped in a grander plot facing grand witches, allying with good witches, and unlocking the mysteries of their past.

Key Plot Elements: Keeping the past hidden in mystery so that the siblings could unravel it themselves at the height of the plot.  A higher sense of duty and a passion to discover what really happened in the past keep the witch hunters on the job - to both eradicate all witches in the land and protect the villages.

Audience: Younger fans to the fantasy genre.

Go see it in 3D: If you like getting shot at by arrows, or getting flayed by wooden shrapnel as powerful machinery or witches tear through trees.

Previews: Jack the Giant Slayer, Star Trek: Into Darkness, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Oz the Great and Powerful
