121. Osgood Perkins’ Gretel and Hansel (2020)
from Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast · host loathsomethings
Before he was re-imagining Satanic Panic through the lens of a washed-up Cage-y rock star, Osgood Perkins was down for some woke re-telling of a fable so littered with bad horror movies, it's no wonder people didn't pay attention to this one. Here, we get a feminist Hansel and Gretel story with some BRON-tastic visual, a sprinkling of Jodorowsky-sky-sky inspo, and a nod to the "Potato Famine" being a wealth-induced massacre rather than the natural disaster people like to play it off as. It's the visually stunning, surprisingly short Gretel & Hansel on this fortnight's episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast for people on the spectrum!
