Oct 27, 2009 Fairytale Fights Official Movie Explore and adventure through a storybook world filled with familiar childhood characters, candy, and lots of blood! 5 months ago.
When eleven children go missing in a small village, the Mayor summons Hansel and Gretel to rescue them, and they save the red haired Mina from the local sheriff who wants to burn her, accusing Mina of witchcraft. Soon they discover that the Blood Moon will approach in three days and the powerful dark witch Muriel is responsible for the abduction of children. She intends to use the children together with a secret ingredient in a Sabbath to make the coven of witches protected against the fire. Meanwhile Hansel and Gretel disclose secrets about their parents. Alternate VersionsAside from more language, gore, sexual content, and a few extra lines, the extended version features a few extra scenes. They include scenes showing witches forcing children to eat frogs as part of their potion. The bar scene also shows Hansel awkwardly approaching a woman and getting rebuffed.
The horned witch, while trying to be interrogated, reveals that she can also communicate with the red-haired witch when she needs help. The morning after the village attack, Sheriff Berringer blames the Mayor for the attack and kills him.
The scene where the Sheriff and his goons attack Gretel is extended, is cut in between the scene where Mina heals Hansel, and shows that the men plan to rape her right before Edward kills them. Right after Hansel and Gretel behead Muriel, Ben (despite being a big fan of the siblings killing witches) throws up when he sees the decapitated head. I seriously enjoyed this film- it had more gore than Mel Gibson could shake a fist at, some very cute actors, and didn't waste time with excessive back-story and details, and gave me many good laughs.
Its not an intellectually stimulating movie. Its made to a hilariously entertaining popcorn flick with over-the-top action and unrealistic weapons that wouldn't have existed given the 'time period' this movie seems to be set in. So you folks out there giving it bad rap for not meeting your standards, calm down. Its clearly not trying to.:).
This movie's violence reminded me of the Expendables- but this film never takes itself too seriously like the other film does. I found this much more fun to watch.

Fairytale Fights is a hack and slashaction-adventure game developed by Playlogic Game Factory and published by Playlogic Entertainment for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Fairytale Fights allow the player a chance to reclaim the fairytale status of Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Jack, The Naked Emperor and more.
Gameplay[edit]
Fairytale Fights is based on the Unreal Engine 3. The game has a volumetric liquid system, where blood drenches the surroundings when the player slice up the enemies multiple times in a frenzied attack. They are also able to slide through the pools of blood and melt their enemies using acid potions. Players have full control over how and when to slice their enemies, called dynamic slicing technology. The game features a multiplayer system for online and offline play, with drop-in-drop-out gameplay. Fairytale Fights features 140 weapons, and 3 difficulty levels.[1]
Reception[edit]
Fairytale Fights received mixed reviews, with a 51% average score on the Xbox 360 format on Metacritic. Some critics were more positive about it, such as Games Master magazine in the UK, which called it 'a likeable, if slight, slice of gory Brothers Grimm gaming'. However, many sources were considerably more scathing. Chocolatier game download. IT Reviews said that 'the dodgy controls combined with some awkward camera viewpoints, plus the overly repetitive levels, slowly sap much of the joy from the experience'.[2] GameSpot went further, criticising the game's lack of pacing, lousy boss fights and 'shallow, repetitive combat'.[3]
A considerable number of glitches marred the Xbox 360 release in particular, leading to less than positive reviews before the much delayed patch was eventually released.[4] Until the game was patched, several achievements were unobtainable and multiplayer was severely affected, something which has now been remedied.
Andy Eddy of Team Xbox also added that Fairytale Fights's 'annoyingly bad game design' held it back from being a better game. Eddy went on to say 'Sadly, [Fairytale Fights] gimmicks aren’t strong enough to maintain the game across its entirety.'
Awards[edit]
Despite the mixed reviews across the web, Fairytale Fights won 2 Dutch Game Awards out of its 3 nominations during the 2010 Control Industry Award ceremony. Fairytale Fights was nominated for Best Audio Design, Best Visual Design and Best Console game of 2009–2010, taking home both the awards for Best Audio Design and Best Visual Design.
