Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is a 2013 action-adventure fantasy horror film written and directed by Tommy Wirkola and filmed in 3D as a continuation to the German folk fairy tale Hansel and Gretel recorded by the Brothers Grimm. The film is starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton in the titular roles of a brother-and-sister duo of professional witch hunters, with Famke Janssen as the leader of a coven of evil witches that they seek out to destroy.

Originally scheduled for March 2011, the R-rated film was released in 3D and IMAX 3D, premiering in the United States on January 25, 2013. It was much better received by horror genre critics, who viewed it as unpretentiously entertaining, than by general film critics who mostly panned it, often for what they perceived as a weak script.

Abandoned by their father deep in a forest one night, young Hansel and Gretel enter a gingerbread house and are quickly nabbed by the old witch who resides in it. The witch forces Hansel to continuously eat candy while making Gretel prepare the oven, but before she has a chance to eat them, the siblings outsmart her and throw her into the oven. Throughout the years after the incident, Hansel and Gretel become ruthless bounty hunters dedicated to exterminating witches. Their work is relatively easy because for an unknown reason, they are immune to harmful witch spells and curses. Hansel, however, is diabetic as a result of his ordeal with the old witch and needs to take a regular shot of insulin every day.

One day, in the German town of Augsburg, Hansel and Gretel prevent Sheriff Berringer from executing Mina, a young woman falsely accused of witchcraft. Mayor Englemann has hired the siblings to find and rescue several children abducted by witches. At the same time, Sheriff Berringer hires four trackers for the same mission, hoping to regain the respect of the Mayor. However, all but one of the trackers are killed that night by the grand witch Muriel, who sends the surviving member back to the town tavern to explode as a warning to the siblings and the locals. Hansel and Gretel, with the help of the Mayor's assistant Jackson, capture the Tall Witch and interrogate her. They discover that the witches are preparing for the Feast of the Blood Moon, which requires sacrificing 12 children - six boys and six girls, each born on a separate month. When the siblings find out that the witches need one more girl to complete their ritual, Sheriff Berringer refuses to cooperate with them in locating her. Suddenly, Muriel, the Candy Witch and the troll Edward attack the town and abduct the targeted girl before springing their comrade out of jail. Gretel is knocked unconscious throughout the ordeal, but is brought to safety by a local boy named Ben, who is aspiring to be a witch hunter himself. Hansel grabs a fleeing Candy Witch by her broomstick, but is lost in the forest.
