Action Horror Thriller

6.2 / 10

This is a retelling of the old tale of Hansel and Gretel, but set in England in the 1920s. To the children and staff at the orphanage, Auntie Roo is a kindly American widow who gives them a lavish Christmas party each year in her mansion, Forrest Grange. In reality, she is a severely disturbed woman, who keeps the mummified remains of her little daughter in a nursery in the attic. One Christmas, her eye falls upon a little girl who reminds her of her daughter and she imprisons her in her attic. Nobody believes her brother, Christopher, when he tells them what has happened, so he goes to rescue her.

Scared me to death when I was 7 - could not remember the name of this. Saw it at the Drive-in with my mom and sister. Didn't sleep for a week. - @Monday, June 29, 2015 1:11 AM

Omg I finally found it. The film that messed me up as a boy snuck into the drivein everybody else sleeping. Nobody could tell me where the dumbwaiter with the little boy and woman singing to a mummified corpse. Shelly Winters ...!? - @Monday, March 24, 2014 1:46 AM

I saw this movie as part one of a double feature with my parents, when I was 10! I can't even remember what the other movie was, because this one scarred me so badly. I slept with my covers pulled up over (and tucked underneath) my head, well into high school. Just seeing the trailer gives me the creeps!!! - @Saturday, July 10, 2010 5:49 PM
