Can't remember why (perhaps a strange childhood) but the first cartoon I saw in life with the company of my grandmother was Disney's "Snow white" and it scared the hell out of me, 30 years later I see the so-called horrorversion I was just wishing to see my pillow as I was falling asleep. Indeed this is not the story as we used to know but we are into the middle of a B-movie in the worst sense of the word. The sole "highlights" are the performances from both Sigourney Weaver (just don't ask me why such a good actress makes movies like these) and the rather charming Taryn Davis who plays Snow White as a child. It's more about the bad queen rather than the romantic Snowy White (there are 7 workers, not 7 gnomes...) and director Michael Cohn who never made something decent brings on some decors that are straight out of out televisionmovies no one wants to see... Bad performances, a script that sucks and the question is just : for whom is this made??? Not for kids (unless you wanna let your kid see how a human heart is eaten) and not for adults (therefore the cheap tricks are just too much like some very bad Jim Henson-movie). A real fiasco this movie....
