Brent Lydic returns to star as Hansel, although Gretel was recast and portrayed by Lili Baross.

Several years after the events of the first film, a Candlewood local, Mason, stops by Gretel's pie shop & bakery shortly after close one night, but is killed by a hooded figure.

That night, four witches, Circe, Kikimora, Morai, and their high priestess Cthonia, convene in the woods nearby Candlewood.

They take control of a local homeless woman to be their servant in their plot to avenge their sister Lilith's death and take back her shop.

Jacob and Willy insist on helping the search for Mason, but when the group leaves the house, the witch's homeless woman begins shooting at them.

Hansel shoots and kills the homeless woman and discovers a witch's mark on her forehead confirming his theory, when they all realize Gretel is gone.

Before he can, Gretel summons Kikimora's blinding fog which breaks Hansel's hypnosis, allowing him to stab Circe in the face.

Screenwriter Jose Prendes said in an interview with GeeksofDoom.com from January 2014 that he would be scripting Hansel vs. Gretel in June of that year for The Asylum to produce and release in 2015.

[3] The film was released on DVD[4] on January 20, 2015,[1] by The Asylum Home Entertainment, with special features including a featurette, gag reel and trailers.

The reviewer is surprised to find Hansel vs. Gretel better than expected, and praises Baross's and Lydic's performances for being charismatic and well-acted.

However, the reviewer writes that the special effects are low-budget and lacking at times, and that the ending is odd, but entertaining nonetheless.
