Modern version of Hansel and gretel

A long time ago in a distant fairy tale countryside, a young girl leads her little brother into a dark wood in desperate search of food and work, only to stumble upon a nexus of terrifying evil.

After getting a taste for blood as children, Hansel and Gretel have become the ultimate vigilantes, hell-bent on retribution. Now, unbeknownst to them, Hansel and Gretel have become the hunted, and must face an evil far greater than witches... their past.

In the small bordertown of Villefranche, lost in the heart of a large forest, crime rate is six times higher than elsewhere in the area. Each new crime Major Laurène Weiss solves with the help of her unusual team makes her sink deeper and deeper into secrets of the area.

Daniel has been isolating himself from the world since being burdened with the sudden appearance of a black mark on his arm.

A re-imagining of the classic Brothers Grimm Tale. Hansel and Gretel are brother and sister, wandering through a cold, bleak landscape in a surreal and uncertain world. With the last of their food gone, they stumble across a beautiful house decorated with flowers and sweets, and a freshly baked pie cooling on the window outside. A friendly, rosy-cheeked lady invites them inside and treats them to the luxurious spread she has prepared. But in the cold light of the next morning, Hansel's absence at breakfast suggests to Gretel that the old woman's love of baking may mask a far more sinister obsession than she ever imagined, and she must save her brother before it is too late...

Based on the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel is a dark and stylized, black and white, German Expressionistic silent picture featuring detailed design and an eerie musical score.
