Grimm's Snow White

It's the Snow White tale with some odd takes. Eliza Bennett is Snow White and Jane March is the Evil Queen. The production value here is horrible. The F/X, the sets, everything is low grade amateur hour. The actors are just not A-list, and it shows on screen. I have nothing to recommend here, and everybody is best advised to just avoid this. The only interesting thing here is the different take on the well known tale. I think they are trying to go back to the source and take it back to Grimm's Tales. I'm not an expert on their version or versions. I can't really comment on its faithfulness. But with elfs, dragons, and magic fire, there's just too much going on.

Let's have a look back on the past Asylum films that they invented. 666: The Beast, 666: The Child and also, Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus. THOSE films were terrible with a capital T. I saw another film produced by The Asylum not long ago with Ving Rhames 'Zombie Apocalypse' compare all those films to their latest ones now, they're improving just very slowly. They're not cheesy as much any more, their films are not in low quality, also they're hiring actors who are known to the community. I'm waiting for some of their new films that are going to be released soon Golden Winter, Super Cyclone, Nazis at the centre of the earth and also Alien Origin. Sure, Grimm's snow white wasn't as exciting but it's definitely an improvement from The Asylum. -Trent Browning

Aside that SnowWhite is blonde and that you can almost notice every part of CG and masks in the movie, dwarfs have been replaced with elves and you can see their different skin on their pike ears mask so easy it just hurts. Also they stepped aside from the original story so much that they turned nice fairy tale in some wannabe hack and slash wannabe copy of Lord of the Rings.... only here they replace a huge armies with barely 10 elf's... If my memory serves me well... original story was named SnowWhite and seven dwarfs not elf's... They totally ruined the movie with bad effects and even worse script.

My advice if you know original SnowWhite at all, avoid this movie like plague...

This was pretty good. I think the scenery was absolutely lush and beautiful and made half the movie. The action didn't flag, and the characters were mostly stock but well defined and played.

I know this sounds like faint praise. But, for a production produced by The Asylum, this is very very good.

I've seen a few of their 'mock' busters. This was much better than their usual, cheap fare.

If you like fantasy, with a beautiful central/southern European flavor, then watch this.

The stepmother was well played, as were many of the elf characters. The only miscasting was Snow White. She was the wrong one for that role. But fortunately Snow White had a small part, for all that the title promises.

In this age of high end special effects, they managed pretty well using basic computer graphics tools. Pretty soon, special effects in films of any budget will be good.

Poor acting, poorly scripted, badly drawn CGI graphics, yellow stick-on ears that don't fit the wearer, a lack of depth in the characters, an incredibly small elf army representing the whole of the elf population, CGI dogs that can't jump gaps and just fall into them, guards who don't really pay very much attention to whether their queen is under threat or not, a serious lack of dwarfs, an ugly hag who's supposed to be the 2nd most beautiful woman in the kingdom and wears a dress that's massively too big for her and is lacking in any jewellery, and snow white has blonde hair and pink lips. Need I say any more?

While the story has an interesting take on the tale we're all too familiar with it's lacking proper care and whoever did the makeup needs shooting. Couldn't even be bothered to paint the ears to make them the same skin colour as the wearer or attempt at hiding the seams so it looks like they're wearing fake ears.
