A sinister house deep in the forest is full of happy children... But what lies beneath the surface? A dark and gripping modern age fairy tale for adults, spinning the original Grimm fairytale on its head. Following a car crash on a country road, Eun-soo (Chun Jeong-myeong) is led to safety by a girl in a red cloak (Shim Eun-kyoung), to her house, deep in the forest. Accepting her family's hospitality for the night, he gradually learns that he is trapped in the woods with this strange picture perfect family and of the sinister story behind the seemingly innocent smiles of the children.

A scary fairy tale for which the only term that fits me is that it is "unique". This film has a unique atmosphere and is almost unclassifiable in terms of genre. One side is pastel color and dreamy, the other dark and horror. And now it's up to everyone to decide whether this combination appeals to you or leaves you in chaos. For me it was both, but definitely more on the side of enthusiasm. Plus, finally a horror movie that will still let even a wuss like me fall asleep at night. 3.5 stars.

A fairytale horror for young adults, fairytale horror for adults or a family picture about a band of orphans and the magic of Christmas? I don’t know, there’s a bit of everything in there. And, apart from the markedly better first half, I don’t have much to fault. It’s enough when I remember that impenetrable forest (I can’t think of a movie with a more powerful forest atmosphere) and straight away I feel like setting off into the mountains to find my own “Gingerbread House".
