Bloody Disgusting

Shortcomings are offset by Sigourney Weaver’s brilliant turn as the id-driven and monstrous witch. She brings the magic whenever this film’s other parts aren’t quite as charming.

Rated: 3/5

It's an unappealing dark adult version of the classic Grimm Brothers' fairy tale of the Snow White story.

An horror adaptation of a fairy tale done right. This is an surprisingly faithful movie with beautiful costumes and a great cast

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A guilty pleasure, but you cannot fault the ambition and darkness. It loses its form in later scenes, but the ideas are interesting - even the awkward performances are saved by a beautiful aesthetic and a stand out from the lead actress, especially as her witchy form. Brrr!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Trying far too hard to be dark and forgets to be good.
