Breadcrumbs Re-envisions Hansel and Gretel

Spotlight Pictures is producing the independent film Breadcrumbs with a release date unannounced. The film provides a modern take on the age old Germanic tale "Hansel and Gretel." This new telling involves seedy directors, and violent children rather than blind witches and candy houses. Have a read of the synopsis where characters are murdered "one by one" (Bloody).

The full synopsis for Breadcrumbs here:

"Once upon a time ... Angie, an aging star reluctantly goes on one last shoot for a seedy Producer, on location, in an enchanting old cabin deep in the shadowy forest. While on the shoot the cast and crew encounter Henry, and his little sweet sister Patti, two strange and mysterious children who seem to live in the woods.

A violent attack on the second evening of shooting sends Angie and the rest of the crew into a frighten frenzy. They lock themselves into their secluded cabin and find themselves trapped and surrounded by an unknown assailant. Could these two children be responsible for these vicious attacks?

After witnessing a horrible slaying, Billy, the handsome lead, takes Patti hostage, as a means of gaining leverage against the unknown killer. This proves to be the fatal mistake as, one by one, the crew is horrifically slaughtered until only Patti, Angie, and Henry remain, resulting in a chilling final showdown between the three that ends in a terrifying conclusion.

Eat the candy, if you dare!" (Bloody).
