Yes, we've seen this story told lots of different ways, including one of those weird action redos that were so popular for about five minutes a few years back, but have we ever seen one called Gretel & Hansel?

Seriously though, that's not the only hype-builder here. This new take on the age-old fairy tale is directed by I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House helmer Oz Perkins and stars IT's Sophia Lillis and newcomer Sam Leakey as her far younger brother. Alongside them is former Borg Queen actor Alice Krige as Holda, the witch.

It's thankfully going to be a real horror (with the promise of a "nexus of terrifying evil") and who doesn't want to see more of Lillis in a horror?
