Synopsis

Catching   up   with   Hansel   (Jeremy   Renner)  and Gretel (Gemma
Arterton) 15 years after the traumatic incident involving a  gingerbread
house,   the   siblings   have   evolved   into   vengeful  bounty hunters
dedicated to exterminating witches.  Over   the   years,   the   siblings
became  expert  hunters,  famous  for their proficiency at tracking and taking down their prey. Although still recovering from their ordeal, their
work is relatively easy as for an unknown  reason  harmful  spells  and
curses do not work well against them.

The  Mayor  of  Augsburg  recruits  them  to  rid  the  town and nearby
forests of  an  evil  sorceress  (Famke  Janssen)  who  is  planning  to sacrifice  many  local  children  at  the  witches'  gathering  during the
upcoming 'Blood Moon' night in two days time. To make things worse,
the  duo  also  has  to  deal  with  the  brutal  Sheriff  Berringer  (Peter
Stormare)  who  has  taken  power  in  Augsburg  and conducts a very indiscriminate witch-hunt of his own.
