BREAD CRUMBS

Review by Paul Worley

A Review by Paul Worley

Hansel and Gretel are growing up.

In this production, we see a handful of young movie makers heading to visit a cottage in the woods where they are planning to shoot a porn flick. In route to the cabin, they come across two strange siblings walking in the road. A couple words are exchanged, leaving the crew visibly shaken. Later, as the van reaches the destination, all seems well. Then, things take a turn for the worst.

As shooting of the skin-flick begins, the young brother is spotted peeking in the windows. One of the cast goes missing, and everyone starts to freak out. Slowly, each of the cast is hurt or killed as they search for the missing friend, and the peeping tom.

A shocking new twist on the familiar tale of Hansel and Gretel, Breadcrumbs finds a group of shady filmmakers falling prey to a murderous assailant while shooting an adult film at a remote cottage. Angie thought she had left her sordid past behind when a sleazy producer talked her into making one last movie. But as the cast and crew wind their way through a dense woods in search of their destination, they happen across Henry and Patti, two mysterious young siblings who seem to simply live amongst the trees. Later, after the group reaches the cabin and the cameras start to roll, they come under attack from a psychotic killer. Terrified after witnessing a cold blooded killing, lead actor Billy holds Patti hostage in hopes of warding off the unseen predator. But that only serves to enrage their murderous stalker and before long Henri, Patti, and Angie are the only ones left standing. Will Angie make it out of her final shoot alive, or was this always destined to be her bloody swan song? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
