Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Kirpianuscus obvious, it is her film. for the mix between costumes and splendid room and a great actress performance against a modest script. sure, it is far to be the expected Snow White but it is a nice adaptation. and only sin is the vain fight of Sarah Patterson for define her character in a better manner than the limits of script. not because she seems be too old for the lead role but for the less courage of director to give more force /freedom to an admirable actress for explore the nuances of her generous role. short, Diana Rigg saves this adaptation for the science to use each opportunity of a brilliant role.

Beth Biscuits I first saw this film when i was a 7 year old, i've always been a huge fan of the tale of snow white and i got this on VHS as a birthday present. It didn't disappoint! It was wonderful, from when the wonderfully slightly haunting music plays at the beginning right the way through to the end! Even watching it as an adult i love it, the simplicity of going back to the days before everything was cgi or 3d! When they actually built all the props! Its such a wonderful, wonderful adaptation! Sure the songs are a bit cheesy (this was the eighties though don;t forget) but it all adds to it! Sarah Patterson plays the part of snow white well, alluring yet innocent, really pretty without being overly provocative. The dwarfs are fab especially billy Barty who appears in pretty much every cannon movie tale film! I cannot rave about this enough! If you wanna go back to good old fairy tales without the cgi rubbish and the over acting then i highly recommend you check this out! I'm a big lover of all the cannon movie tales! If you watch and like snow white then be sure to check out Hansel and Gretel!

Wicked89 I've seen the film on "YouTube" and personally I loved it a little more than the beloved Disney film. Diana Rigg (Emma Peel in "The Avengers") steals the show as the film's Wicked Queen. Even though her costumes and hair are dramatically over the top and hideous it suits the character but the gold potato sack and the spider leg hat that she wears while preparing the poisoned apple had me thinking "How can someone who is so vain wear something so hideous even if they could?" But the song that she sings when plots to have the huntsman kill Snow White had me LOL! Sarah Patterson (Rosaleen in "The Company of Wolves") really held her own as the Fairest One of All herself. She is well cast as the innocent young princess who did no wrong to her stepmother. Equally well cast is Nicola Stapleton who plays Snow White as a little girl.The dwarfs (led by the late Billy Barty) were hilarious! Their scenes with Snow White were well played.

danic Let's get down to the meat of the review, shall we? I think we all know the story of Snow White well enough to skip the summary.First, let's get the negative over with. Here are the movies bad points: 1: The King's fate. Snow White and her father were extremely close. The movie made an effort to point it out. Then Snow White begs the huntsman not to kill her, and she'll run away in the forest and never come back. The king is told his beloved daughter is dead, and is so heartbroken, he goes into battle, and dies. How unfair! Snow White should have come back and told her father of the queen's scheme, regardless of what she told the huntsman.2: The 'extraordinary band of tiny little men', with the exception of Billy Barty. They weren't endearing, they just sort of all blended together into one dirty, annoying mass. They seemed more concerned about Snow White as a servant than a family member, and I never could remember who was who, due to the rhyming names. Plus, most of them had the personality of rocks.3: The Queen's costumes! I only saw one that I half-way liked, and the rest were either blah or hideous. Don't even get me started on some of the headdresses! There were so many costume changes, I can't believe they couldn't impress me just once.4: Some scenes dragged on too long, and some weren't even needed. Take for instance, Snow White's flight through the woods as a child. It just kept going and going, with no real action, except a confusing encounter with a wild dog, and could have been cut into half, at least. Even as a child, at the height of my fascination with fairy tales, I found the scene boring. There are a few others, but I think you get the idea.On the plus side: 1: The adult Snow White, played by Sarah Patterson. Not only could I easily believe she was the fairest in the land, she had the character of Snow White down as well. Kind and innocent to a fault, as well as dignified and graceful, not to mention industrious and cheerful. There was a subtle sensual quality to her, a young woman on the verge of blooming.2: The Prince. He didn't have a lot of air time, but the actor did a lot with it. Handsome and Verile, with a strong singing voice and a soulful quality, it's not hard to see why Snow White went off with him so quickly. Most of the time, I'm rolling my eyes when the prince declares his love, (even as a kid) but in this case, I just go: 'Awww.' 3: Snow White's parents. There was a natural, sweet chemistry between them, both of them fine actors. The king's grief upon her passing was heart wrenching. Usually, in fairy tales, life and death is a light matter, but the movie managed to convey the importance of such a final event without getting depressing.4: The sets! From Snow White's lavish childhood bedroom, to the drawn's rustic, cozy cottage, there is nothing but top-notch quality. You believe you have been transported to this fairy tale world, and not once are you jarred from story moment.Everything that I have not mentioned, falls into the average category.
