Outstanding And Impressive On All Fronts
Casper Van Dien’s directorial debut is a triumph on all fronts. The Asylum has had a fair bit of success with retelling fairy tales in various ways- somewhat modernized (Jack The Giant Killer; pretty damn great) to full on horror (Hansel & Gretel; creepy as hell). This is probably their most faithful adaptation, and without a doubt their best film to date.Boasting the greatest score of their filmography, this movie starts perfectly. The slighted fairy Tambria curses Princess Dawn, and then fights three good fairies! She promptly kills them. That is how this movie opens! It’s impressive and immediately grabs your attention. Thanks to solid directing, beautiful cinematography, and tight editing it thankfully never lets go.The bulk of the story takes place 100 years after Dawn succumbs to her curse, and involves a prince and his men trekking to the magical kingdom to save her from Tambria. This involves them fighting wyrms, zombies, booby traps, mind control spells, a sea monster, and themselves. It all works within the story surprisingly well, and the movie isn’t afraid to go dark.The costumes are excellent and don’t look like costumes, but actual period wear. The location shoot provides a great deal of production value, especially the castle. The stained glass windows are beautiful.This was a family affair as Van Dien not only directed but stars as the King, his real life wife the Queen, and eldest daughter Grace plays the titular beauty! His other children also have brief roles. Grace acquits herself amazingly, and is easy to buy as a headstrong but scared princess. Granted, she’s sleeping through a large section. When she’s awake though, she exudes natural charisma.Olivia D’Abo is the evil fairy Queen Tambria and makes for a wonderful villain. Shamelessly evil (thank goodness) she wields a badass attitude and is quite threatening (“Amazing Spider-Man 2” take notes! This is how an interesting villain is handled!). Finn Jones as Barrow, the whipping boy is excellent. His frustrations at his place in life is shown, but just below the surface, adding some nice layers. Edward Lewis French as stuck up, selfish Prince Jayson plays the cocksure bad boy to the hilt, but restrains himself before it becomes grating! Add on a nice twist reveal of his character’s true motivation and you end up with a truly engaging ensemble of actors all playing complex and interesting characters.Composer Joseph Metcalfe, who has worked on other Asylum productions (and the awesome JCVD vehicle “Hard Corps”), outdoes himself, and wider, more mainstream released films with his score for this. Ephemeral, eerie, graceful, sweet, and everything else when needed, I can’t recall a greater score to an Asylum film, nor one that is utilized so perfectly with the onscreen action.Having received it a few days after it’s release, I was very excited once it arrived. I happened to have seen the two worst films of the year (so far) just days before turning this on. This low budget retelling of a classic fairy tale blows ” Godzilla (2014)” & “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” so high out of the water it’s remarkable! In a year in which the Asylum had already released some their most ambitious and well made productions to date (“Android Cop” & “Mega Shark Vs. Mecha Shark” are excellent) this is their best, by large and far. Real care and effort were extended to every end of the film, and it shows. Absolutely one of the best films of the year!

For parents to please consider before letting children watch (Warning: Gore spoilers in my review)
As a teacher and parent there is no way I would recommend this movie for children. I wish I had read reviews before I subjected my own mind to this. There is way too much gore and no reason to watch when there are so many better choices out there. In the beginning of the movie there is a scene of a “whipping boy” taking punishment for a “prince”. Just when you think surely that’s enough flogging to get the point across- they do it some more. I should have stopped watching at that point- as it was a good example of these particular movie makers inability to show restraint on the sensational aspects and use creativity instead to tell their story. There is pointless gore along the way including the evil queen ripping off someone’s head literally and holding it up for all the entrails in their bloody pulpy mess to hang out. That is not my idea of a good time in a movie. She also makes one character eat a bloody heart and again the movie makers show no self-control and go back and show this disgusting bloodied face eating it some more in case you missed it the first time. I was fast forwarding at this point, as they had lost me. I just hoped they were going to get better somehow but alas, no. The evil queen kept making the people in the family cemetery come back to life (zombies) . But again the movie makers showed no originality and she kept whipping up a new batch of zombies every time the previous batch got defeated. When there are “no rules” even in a fantasy world (small family cemetery but had an endless supply of dead people for her to call up) and anything goes over and over, there is no hope and no real story or characters to be rooting for. The only way this movie could possibly begin to have any merit to it- would be to study it in a film class as an example of no restraint on the part of the film makers to reign in and make/create a good story. I have no idea who would have put money out to make such a mess as this. One random scene shows a bad guy threatening to rape an enchanted-sleeping woman in the castle. (He is stopped but it was an example of another let down in the movie of no taste.) In my opinion it was a horror film for more than one reason.

Sleeping Beauty with zombies.. What more could a girl ask for?!?!
I loved it! I really wasn’t expecting it to be that good. I am usually a fan of any that Casper Van Dien does but I haven’t seen him in anything in a few years. This was great. Sleeping Beauty is my favorite fairy tale. With zombies included, it was fantastic! Asylum… well done. I also noticed that CVD was the director. Bravo! CVD’s daughter, Grace Van Dien, is quite lovely and an actress that I will look forward to be seeing in the future.

Ce film n’est pas l’histoire de Sleeping Beauty c’est plutôt celle de la jeune Elf à mon avis

Omg…………………what a load of rubbish. I bought the film for my love of fairy tails with the intention of watching it with a younger audience in mind as it’s rated 12 on the description above, but to my shock there is the lightest of nudity in it but still unsuitable for children, the only thing I loved about the film was the scenery, that’s magnificent and breath taking, as for the visual effects and the acting well the less said about that the better. DO NOT BUY THIS THINKING ITS SUITABLE FOR KIDS, ITS NOT EVEN THO ITS RATED HERE AS FOR 12, THE ACTUAL PACKAGING SAYS 15.

Not what I was really expecting (film wise), though a fantastic & unexpected twist. However, this is not a PG film – itâs a 15 certificate (due to some nudity).

So bad couldn’t even watch it after about 10 minutes really bad, low budget, and I am a big fantasy fan. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
