Lack of good storyline.

A lot of fun.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

A whole lot of running through the woods with everyone trying to figure out who they are and what they're supposed to do. Acting so-so and the dialogue is a bit on the boring side.Scenery is fine but it's kinda on the dark side inside the Witch Queen's lair. Her familiar as a bit on the Klutzy side and not very believable.Okay to watch for free but I wouldn't put up a dime otherwise.

The 1800s story of "Hansel and Gretel" (from the Brothers Grimm) receives a confusing sequel with "Witchslayer Gretl". The original ending seems to have been ignored; probably, we are to assume other events occurred in the intervening years. In what appears to be about 30 years after the famous brother and sister cooked the old witch's goose, we find adult Paul McGillion (as Hansel) is a Witchslayer. He kills witches (violently) with help from recovering blonde witch Sarain Boylan (as Lara). They pick up and reform younger blonde witch Emilie Ullerup (as Ehren). Hansel is attempting to discover the fate of his sister Gretel, who is adult Shannen Doherty (spelled Gretl)...Early on, Ms. Doherty appears only in shadows - probably, this is because we would all say, "A-ha! That's his sister Gretl" - okay, there is no reason for the shadows. There is also no reason to call this TV Movie "Witchslayer Gretl". Doherty's "Gretl" is not the Witchslayer. That title belongs to Hansel. Still, you have to forgive director Mario Azzopardi and folks who named this story, for not knowing the Witchslayer - it is a difficult movie to sit through, even (obviously) for the people who created this poorly titled "Witchslayer Gretl". Also in the cast is warlock Jefferson Brown (as Abyss), who has issues with Ms. Boylan and the Queen Witch. He also has great sideburns.** Witchslayer Gretl (2/25/12) Mario Azzopardi ~ Paul McGillion, Sarain Boylan, Shannen Doherty, Jefferson Brown

I watched this movie only because of Shannen Doherty. I love her as an actress. That's why I was thrilled to watch another movie starring her. The movie itself isn't like the best movie ever, but neither is it the worst! Of course the special FX aren't as good, and the story itself isn't my cuppa tea either, but nevertheless the acting was pretty decent and I enjoyed watching it. I wouldn't watch it again however, nor recommending it to anyone. If U like Shannen (as I do), check this movie out, even though she isn't the leading role as I would like. I hope she'll make some new fantastic movies in the future! Overall rating: 7 out of 10

If you finished the title of this review without thinking, you're familiar with the flavor of "Gretl: Witch Hunter."Saturday afternoon matinée sword 'n sorcery at it's middlest. The anachronisms might cause you to throw your (empty) beer at the screen, but in mock anger, much like the actors.The conditions I watched this under weren't the best, so I won't speak to cinematography, but the FX match up with the latter episodes of Xena, though not quite to Legend of the Seeker or certainly Game of Thrones, but, well...If you have a few hours, a few beers, and maybe a good friend to laugh with, it's not time completely wasted.
