I don't understand the mountains of mediocre/negative reviews. Gretel & Hansel is a damn fine slow-burn horror movie.
The actors all have great chemistry, the direction and look of the film is spectacular/very creative, and there are legitimately creepy visuals.
Does it have any flaws? If I were to nitpick, I guess some of the dialogue feels a bit odd and out of place with the period it's in. Also the movie didn't go as dark or as F'd up as I wanted it to.
Still it's a really good movie and deserved a better release. It's not the typical "horror movie so bad they dumped it in January" it's a legitimately good movie that the Studio had no faith in. Give it a shot.
