Boo!

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2001)

Am I the only one who has noticed that the movie is based on the Grimm brothers fairy tale "Haensel & Gretel" (dunno what the title in English would be)?
This is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen, maybe even THE scariest. Best of all, the feelings of horror and suspense are not produced through the usual set of Hollywood techniques -- expensive SFX, overimposing sound track, and the usual plot line of "girl / couple get killed after / while having sex".
One word of warning though: you MUST see this film on the big screen, it just will not work if you see it on video. I guess that is the reason why a relatively high percentage of people gave this film 1 / 10 points. And you have to be prepared for a cinematic experience apart from the Hollywood mainstream. Conclusion: if you like horror, this is a must - see. Just don't forget to bring a spare set of clean underwear.
