The premise
Folklore collectors and con artists, Jake and Will Grimm, travel from village to village pretending to protect townsfolk from enchanted creatures and performing exorcisms. However, they are put to the test when they encounter a real magical curse in a haunted forest with real magical beings, requiring genuine courage.
Horror Vault's take
Two roguish brothers make a lucrative trade out of staged supernatural scams across 19th-century Germany — until a genuinely cursed forest forces their hand and puts their showmanship to a very real test. Terry Gilliam's darkly playful vision reimagines the Brothers Grimm as reluctant heroes stumbling into the very world of magic they've spent their careers faking. Fairy tale imagery turns sinister as the duo confronts creatures and enchantments pulled straight from the stories that would one day bear their name. It's a rollicking origin myth wrapped in gothic shadows and wry humor.
