Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

In a post-Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters world, where the duo has dedicated their lives to avenging the terror they suffered at the hands of the witch who attempted to eat them as children, the brothers find themselves entangled in a revenge-fueled cycle. Their past may have been brutal and traumatic but it drove them to become fierce warriors and skilled hunters of the evil that had wronged them. The movie suggests that the siblings have lost sight of the true aspect of justice, recklessly targeting the innocent while barely avoiding the darkness that tormented them as younglings. Consequently, they now operate at cross-purposes to justice. In their determination to root out evil, they inadvertently disregard the lines that separate the victims from the perpetrators, bringing chaos to the world that they purport to protect. The concept of their 'hell-bent' determination is not just in the aspect of their wrath but also stems from a twisted psychological bond strengthened by the horrors they faced as juveniles. The absence of protection from their father and the general neglect from society fueled their desires for revenge. Consequently, everything they now encounter only fuels their anger, making their mission increasingly difficult to grasp. It is worth noting that the film pits Hansel and Gretel, the anti-heroes, against an unseen force much larger than the witches they relentlessly target - it's their own haunted past. Meanwhile, their true adversaries may not be the mythical creatures they are intent on annihilating, but rather the turmoil they brought into their lives. One concept in the narrative is that their hell-bent determination transcends malevolent intentions, suggesting their actual adversary now might not be any evil sorcery but rather their own dark, irrational impulses driving them forward. It questions whether their 'desire for vengeance' has transcended their need for justice to become simply an act to maintain their wrathful momentum, rendering them captives to the same traumatic forces they supposedly aim to combat. However, this internal conflict ultimately positions them against an unassuming threat. It symbolizes the way the dark memories one experiences can ultimately destroy the person that one purports to be fighting for, threatening to drown them in their deep-seated psychological wroth.
