** The hats that Gretel and Hansel wear evoke the early 20th century. Hansel's looks like a short-brimmed cap, while Gretel wears a fedora at a rakish angle.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Holda]] takes in Gretel and Hansel after their mother abandoned them. Revealed to be an [[WickedWitch evil witch]], Holda was the mother of the girl in the pink cap who, after banishing her to the wilderness, was promised [[DealWithTheDevil great power if she gave into the darkness]]. [[OffingTheOffspring Sacrificing and cannibalizing her children]], Holda took the appearance of an elderly woman to lure children into her house with enchanted food before killing and [[ChildEater eating]] them to enrich her powers. When she sensed the same powers in Gretel, Holda takes her as an apprentice and entices Hansel into climbing a ladder into a fire pit so Gretel would be forced to eat her own brother.

**The "[[EnfantTerrible Beautiful Child]]" in the pink hat was the daughter of Holda and the reason for her mother's turn to evil. After being saved by her father's bargain with an enchantress, the child began to delight in reading the fortunes of villagers ending in horrific death. She would then [[SerialKiller ensure those deaths came to pass]], horribly murdering [[{{Patricide}} even her own father]]. Upon Holda attempting to send her to her fate in the woods, the child [[TheCorrupter beckoned her mother to accept the darkness in her]] and devour Holda's other children. Alone in the woods, the child continued to lure other children to their deaths.

* CriticalDissonance: The film got middling reviews from critics, earning it a mild 65% "Fresh" rating, but a truly miserable 23% "Rotten" rating from audiences.



* WTHCostumingDepartment: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]. The costuming, like the set design, is deliberately anachronistic for ''any'' particular time period. Many elements are strikingly and deliberately out of place.

** Holda can be seen stealing Hansel’s hair a few strands at a time. It was believed that if a witch got a hold of a persons hair or teeth, they could use it to control them. Sure enough. [[spoiler: Hansel is under Holda’s control.]]
