Hansel and Gretel (2007) Photobucket

Eun-Su (Cheon Jeong Myeong) is driving in a country road to visit his dying mother. He gets a phone call from his girlfriend wanting to discuss about her recent pregnancy. She wants him to take responsibility and he was trying to avoid the subject. He gets into a car accident.

When he awakes he finds a little girl name Yeong-Hye (Shim Eun Keyong) by his side. It was dark and no where to get help so Eun-Su follows Yeong-Hye to her house in the middle of the forest. The house was a huge cottage in the middle of the forest. It had toys, cookies and decorations like Christmas. Eun-Su finds Man-Bok (Eun Won Jae) the brother, Jeong-Sun (Jin Ji Hye) the youngest sister, and two parents living in the house. The family looks very odd and seems to be hiding a big secret. The parents seem very nervous but always polite.

Eun-Su tries to leave to go home but fails to get out of the forest. The second day Eun-Su finds the parents are gone and leaves him with the kids. Eun-Su senses there is someone in the attic and goes to investigate. He finds the "mom" scared and dirty. Turns out she is not the children's mother. Her and her husband was brought to the house when their car broke down. They couldn't leave the forest and now the children has taken her husband. A day later Eun-Su finds the "mom" in the attic but her body has turned into porcelain. He finds evidence that the "father" was chopped up as meat for supper.

Eun-Su finds a book on the floor, it was Hansel and Gretel. It turns out that the children was born in 1960s and the house they are in was once an orphanage. They were abused by a man they called father. This man left the children in filth and used them to make money. He locked the older children or those that he deemed useless in a room to starve. He would beat the children to death and sexually abuse the girls. During Christmas a charity came with a man dressed as Santa Claus. Santa said that if they imagined it anything they wish would happen. He also gave them candy and the book Hansel and Gretel.

Man-bok had supernatural powers and when he thought hard he could make things move. He thought that it was Santa Claus that brought them this power. The children kills the orphanage father by pushing him in the oven.

For 40 years the children has been looking for parents that would take care of them. The children would force people to stay with them in the house but when they try to leave the children would kill them. The children was cursed by their abused childhood and was forever stuck in the age of a child. They are forever looking for grown-ups that were caring and wanted them.

Finally they decide to let Eun-Su leave because he was the only one that cared for them. For everyone that stayed at the house the children would create a story and draw it in a notebook. However the story ends in the notebook would happen in real life. The only way to get out was to burn the notebook with his story.

Eun-Su burns the book and suddenly wakes up on the freeway. He goes home and decides to have the baby with his girlfriend. He ends up being a good father and husband. He constantly tries to find news of the children because he felt sad for them.
