Gretel and Hansel (Sophia Lillis and Samuel Leakey) are forced out of their home by their cruel mother after Gretel fails to get work to provide for them. After they are rescued from a creature by a hunter, he provides them with food and shelter and directs them on where to find someone who will help them with food and work.

The siblings come across the home of a witch, Holda ( Alice Krige), who appears friendly and provides them with food and shelter in exchange for work. Holda begins to teach Gretel how to tap into her own witch powers, but Gretel soon learns that Holda has been luring children to her home to kill and eat them, and she plans to do the same with Hansel.

Holda prepares for Hansel to be cooked, but Gretel uses her power to send Holda’s staff toward her and cause her to burn to death. Gretel stays at Holda’s home while sending Hansel away. The spirits of the children are free, but Gretel must now contend with her own witch powers.
