Grimm's Snow White

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

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.

One of those movies that are so bad you wonder why anyone would make them. Poor acting, poor CG, poor costumes and most of all poor plot.

Retelling a famous story is fine but this had nothing to do with Snow White! I think they used the Snow White name to try to draw some viewers.

Even for entertainment, it is not worth it. You can laugh when you see the CG characters, or the "beautiful" Snow White, but in the end it makes you wish there was some censorship to ensure minimal quality of movies or that the famous names, such as Snow White, were protected from such blatant amateurism.

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...

I was dubious of whether to watch this movie as SyFy's resume ranges from a few tolerable, a lot of bad and a number of bottom-of-the-barrel movies. Grimm's Snow White didn't bowl me over, and I wasn't expecting it to, but as far as SyFy movies go they have done much worse than this. The costumes, sets and lighting actually do have a creative and colourful-fantasy-world-like look, while also showing a sense of darkness. The editing is not the choppy editing that I have associated with a lot of SyFy's films but more succinct, neither is it mind-blowingly amazing. The music score is also one of the better ones for a SyFy movie, instead of the generic and sluggish in tempo music SyFy movies often have, this one was suitably haunting with also a quite beautiful twinkling feel. Of the performances the best one was Jane March, her Wicked Queen is coldly beautiful and stoically sinister at the same time. On the other hand, this is where the negatives come. Eliza Bennett's Snow White, looking more like Alice in Wonderland than Snow White actually, I found to be lacking in innocence and she had a wooden way of delivering her lines. Jamie Thomas King also does very little with such an admittedly drab role. They are not helped by really stilted writing, and while the story did start off promisingly it quickly lost drive and became very disjointed in its structure. The sense of drama in the latter part of the film was lacking for me, the bit with the ring didn't make much sense and when people in the battle sequence were supposed to be dead you could tell they weren't. The characters I just didn't care anything for, apart from the Queen they were written very superficially and felt little more than fantasy clichés. The effects have been worse, but there is still a lot of artificiality going on, especially with the dragons. All in all, could have been worse and SyFy have done worse too but Grimm's Snow White didn't do very much for me. 4/10 Bethany Cox
