"Hansel Vs Gretel" ~ 2015

"Hansel Vs Gretel"  ~  2015

Netflix description  =  When his twin sister, Gretel, is seduced by a coven of witches, Hansel and his crew fight to liberate her from their enchanting clutches.

I started watching this unknown that it was a sequel to "Hansel and Gretel"  ~ 2013.  Which is one of my favorite tellings of the story.  This did not disappoint.  It was the same perfect blend of good storytelling, dark humor and gore.  The modern re-telling is a fun ride and this movie definitely worth the watch.  Seeing the first one is helpful, but not necessary.


My score  3.5/5

"Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones" ~ 2014

"Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones"  ~  2014

Netflix description  =   When teenage Jesse investigates strange activity in a neighbors apartment, he encounters an ancient evil that won't rest until its claimed his soul.

While this was quite  different that the rest of the franchise, I still found it to be enjoyable.  It had a slow start but when it got going it was really good. Most of the movie is the typical hand held shakiness but with good shadowplay and background creepiness.  Even a couple good jumps to keep the blood flowing!

My score  3/5
