Synopsis: Snow White: A Tale of Terror (1997)

Synopis: From its dark and complex themes to its archetypal imagery, the Grimm fable of the innocent and beautiful Snow White has captured readers for centuries, but it has not often been given accurate treatment on film. SNOW WHITE: A TALE OF TERROR attempts to do this with magnificent performances, stunning Gothic scenery and costumes, and a well-crafted script that brings out the nuances in the original story. Seven years after a tragic accident has killed his wife just as she is giving birth, Frederick Hoffman (Sam Neill)--who alone cares for their daughter Lilli (Taryn Davis as the younger and Monica Keena as the older)--remarries Lady Claudia (Sigourney Weaver). Claudia arrives at his estate, bringing with her a creepy, intricately carved mirror. She has also brought along her mute brother (Miroslav Taborsky). It is not long before this eager stepmother and the wary daughter are locked in an endless cycle of jealously and hurt feelings. Reading into the deeper, psychological implications of this complex family situation, and the story's many symbolic elements (the poison apple, the outcast hermitlike woodsmen), the film is both visually graphic and emotionally subtle. Not for children, this SNOW WHITE is for thinking adults who enjoy more than one good scare.

   1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Snow White: A Tale of Terror review helpful No offense to Walt Disney, although he does childrens movies and everything that has to do with a good ending, but this was even better than the classical masterpiece SnowWhite!! Basically has the same story plot though: evil stepmother wishing to kill SnowWhite after finding that her magical mirror said she was prettier. But in this one, she despised SnowWhite ever since her baby got killed and in order to revive it, SnowWhite had to be killed. No 7 dwarves although she does make some miner friends when running from her stepmothers rage!! <The stepmother is SO COOL cuz she uses witchcraft (wicca) to try to get rid of SnowWhite, although in this movie her name wasn't SnowWhite but it was something similar I believe> I give this movie 5 stars!!! ...
