The Death of Snow White

The Death of Snow White has the makings of a cult classic, in my opinion. It is wonderfully done and keeps to the spirit of Brothers Grimm. Something I find totally boss! The set design is magnificent, especially when you learn they built thier own castle for the film. Sanae Loutsis is perfect for the role of Snow White, giving off a vibe of gentleness and kindness. It is also really nice to see the Dwarfs being played by Dwarfs. Speaking of the Dwarfs, the character development was phenomenal! They are lovable, funny and yet you don't want to mess with them and the actors who play the dwarves do a great job of bringing them to life and really making each of them stand out in a way that makes them all your favorite.

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!

Full transparency, I was the Director of Photography and Producer on this film but I have had the pleasure of watching it go from an idea between friends to now a theatrical release. I've watched it with audiences and every time, I am hearing the same feedback: It's just fun.

Truth is, it was a BLAST to be on set also. From shooting at a real castle, to all of the special effects, to watching real little people actors in their element do their own stunts. So many people gave so much for this movie to exist and I'm so glad it does.

Special shout out to the Loutsis family for spearheading all of this and making it a reality.

Man, this picture moves-a fever-dream fairytale barreling through the woods in a chariot made of VHS tape and heavy metal fog, lit by the flickering torchlight of pure pulp passion. The Death of Snow White ain't just another backyard fantasy flick trying to fake its way into cult status. No, this one earns it. Earns it with grit, charm, and a wild sincerity that cuts through the cynicism like a broadsword through bone.

Could've sworn this was a lost Cannon Films relic-some long-buried warrior tale found on a Betamax in a pawn shop off the Jersey Turnpike. It's got that Sword and the Sorcerer energy, baby: sweaty, sword-swinging, spell-casting glory-but polished in a way that belies its indie roots. Looks like twice the money got spent and three times the heart.

The sound design rips. The humor lands. The action works, in that way where you feel the boots hit the dirt and the sweat sting the eyes. The acting? Rock solid, every single soul dialed in and playing it straight-like they believe in this twisted fairy tale world, and by god, you believe it too.

It's not just good-for-an-indie. It's good, period. One of those rare, no-bullshit reminders that indie film still has teeth-sharp ones. Makes you wanna go home and sharpen your own.

Highly recommend. And whatever these maniacs do next? I'm there for it.

The 2025 film by Jason Brooks, The Death of Snow White, is nonstop thrills and blood spills with a villan to die for!!! It has everything one could desire!!... Trusty steeds, savage dwarves, salty jesting, lovely maidens, lovely lads, pus laden hags, a dark enchanted forest, the darkest of witchcraft, ultimate chivalry, the deepest of loyalty, unfathomable loss, the purest innocence illumnated in beauty against eternal evil driven to covet and devour living souls and a magic mirror so very sinful and enticing you can not help but be arroused!! This fast paced frivolity is drenched in bloody entrails with a dusting of dark and sultry bites throughout to titillate your coccyx while it is still attached...!
