1.5 out of 10 Oh dear
John from Donegal, 03 Apr 2008
The best I can say about this film is that there was lots of snow. It was Badly acted, badly scripted and impossible to care about what was happening to who. I was very disappointed. So many excellent actors wasted. It made me want the bad guy win. At least Chris Eccleston hasn't got far since leaving Dr Who. That'll teach him to betray us Whovians, sorry, drifted off there, which is what I felt like doing during this film.

3 out of 10 Great actors, crappy story and scenery.

A wonderful cast do their best to save this low budget film from oblivion, but the poor story - plagiarism of several other fantasy stories - and the awful "English" village as designed by Americans and built in Eastern Europe send it to it's doom........
