The Death of Snow White

Real Fiction Studios has struck gold-or perhaps spilled blood-with their daring new horror masterpiece, The Death of Snow White. This isn't your childhood fairytale anymore; it's a chilling, visually arresting reimagining that blends folklore with horror. The cinematography is exceptional, using shadow and light to amplify tension while giving the forest setting an otherworldly, menacing beauty. The sound design is equally impressive, with a spine-tingling dramatic score. The actors are wonderful! I was so happy to see both inclusive and appropriate casting! In case you were wondering, both the humans and animals are real! Snow White is adorable yet strong, and the Evil Queen steals the show, a terrifying figure with emotional depth that elevates the horror beyond cheap scares. The Death of Snow White it's horror with heart and brains. I entirely forgot I was watching a horror movie, let alone an independent film!

I must say... this is what passion and the love of storytelling can create. The Death Of Snow White is what most filmmakers hope to achieve in their career! Jason Brooks and his team delivered a dark, horror fantasy that not only pays tribute to The Grimm's Tale but does so with humor, gore, intrigue and fun! It has a great balance of storytelling and keeps you watching! Granted, this isn't a 100 million dollar film, but what this team of creators managed with the budget they had is spectacular and... the fun shows up on screen! The Death of Snow White is a fantastic ride and if you get the opportunity to see it you will be impressed by these talented filmmakers.

Granted, I have to admit that when I stumbled upon the 2025 movie "The Death of Snow White", and opted to watch it on account of it being a movie that I had neither seen nor actually ever heard about, then I was harboring zero expectations given the movie's title.

However, writers Jason Brooks and Naomi Mechem-Miller actually put together a script and storyline that proved to be corny and campy enough to actually make for an oddly entertaining movie. Sure, this was by no means Shakespearian theater, but would you expect that from a movie carrying a title such as "The Death of Snow White"?

Of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with leading actress Sanae Loutsis. The acting performances in the movie were actually good.

Visually then the movie was actually surprisingly good. The wardrobe, props and sets were good and actually had a medieval fantasy feel to them, which helped carry the movie nicely.

I was actually adequately entertained by the cheesiness of the movie.

My rating of director Jason Brooks's 2025 movie "The Death of Snow White" lands on a five out of ten stars.

So I'd like to start by saying that I could not finish this movie. This happen almost never and I cannot remember the last time that I did.

The photography is not so bad, special effects (both CGI and practical) are also quite good.

But the acting.... It is so bad, it's not even funny. And the realisation look as it was made by a student. As explaining what not to do in acting and realisation, perfect movie. But as a Movie in itself, hard pass.

Snow White has been in the press a lot lately from the Disney remake in live action. This is not to be confused with that movie. You might as it is showing in cineplexes at the same time. This is a movie written by a director with high ambitions. Unfortunately those ambitions were too high and missed the mark. The acting, special effects, and low B-Grade quality often took me out of the film. I could tell at times that you could see they were putting themselves out there and trying. Hence the 3 stars. It is rewarding to the filmmakers that in these moments I was reminded of this. There certainly was the chance for potential here but the tired take of Snow White combined with low production quality couldn't make that possible. I would like to point out that I observed true potential in some actors that paired with a better script and director could really shine. Tristan Nokes and Meredith Binder stood out at times. However, the film's titular lead Sanae Loutsis could not hold the film up. I have not seen other films she has acted in but maybe there is something to see in her elsewhere, perhaps. I would love to elaborate more on this film but the poison from that apple is hitting and I'll be dead soon. For the casual movie goer I'd recommend skipping this one.
