Hansel and Gretel is a 2007 Korean Dark Fantasy/Horror film directed by Yim Pil-Sung.
After getting in a car accident, Eun-soo wakes up and meets a mysterious girl who takes him to fairytale-like house in the middle of the forest, where she lives with her siblings and parents. Everything is bright and colorful, there are toys everywhere and all there is to eat are sweets. He is invited to stay with her family but soon discovers that there is no way of leaving and that there is more to the children than meets the eye.
