The film had many unexpected twists, a helpless girl turns into a fearless women. The film, originated from the child's story, "Snow White and The Seven Dwarves" and turns into a vicious, dark movie that churns in your brain and makes you speechless.

Beasts and monsters roam the earth, hunting prey in the dark forests of the fairy tale world, this film is very different, almost an adultified version of the tale. This is turning out to be a completely different, rewritten story.

Kristen Stewart, Snow White in this movie, doesn't look as kind and lovely as she is in the classical fairy tale, she would stab someone in the eye to protect herself. She doesn't trust anyone, she runs from the vicious queen who tracks her down like a dog.

Chris Hemsworth, the huntsman named in the title, is hired to track down Snow White, the position of Chris Hemsworth as the huntsman is surprisingly good. Fairy tales are normally girly but this was very different.

Overall I think this is a very strange twist to the original story, so I rate this 4 stars.
