Movies that feel likeSnow White and the Huntsman (2012)

After the Evil Queen marries the King, she performs a violent coup in which the King is murdered and his daughter, Snow White, is taken captive. Almost a decade later, a grown Snow White is still in the clutches of the Queen. In order to obtain immortality, The Evil Queen needs the heart of Snow White. After Snow escapes the castle, the Queen sends the Huntsman to find her in the Dark Forest.

If you loved Snow White and the Huntsman, the closest films we have are Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) and Russian Ark (2002). All three share Snow White and the Huntsman's epic and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
