Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters Blu-ray

CHICAGO – Witches were always my monster of choice as a child. Their façade of maternal warmth that routinely gave way to fiendish malice was both scary and oddly funny.

The fun had by everyone in a witch’s cape—from Margaret Hamilton to Angelica Huston—is timelessly infectious.

DVD Review: Inspired Zombie Mayhem of Gore-Filled ‘Dead Snow’
