Hansel & Gretel is a 2013 American horror film produced by The Asylum and directed by Anthony C. Ferrante that stars Dee Wallace, Brent Lydic and Stephanie Greco. While the film is considered a "mockbuster", intended to capitalize on the release of Paramount and MGM's film Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, it is a modern retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairytale of the same name.
