The centerpiece of the collection, however, is undoubtedly "Jorinda and Joringel," a Brothers Grimm fable adapted
as a sexually charged gothic fantasy about a handsome prince's struggle to rescue his betrothed from the clutches of an evil witch. Come to
think of it, you could add "sexually charged gothic fantasy" to the list of constants linking these films._ -Film Threat Magazine
