Snow White: A Tale of Terror (1997)

Release Date : 18 July 1997
MPAA : R
Runtime : 100 min

Overwiew :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.

Starring : Monica Keena, Sigourney Weaver, Gil Bellows, Sam Neill, Brian Glover

Directors : Michael Cohn

Producers : David Roessell, Tommy Thayer


  Critic Reviews  Grade
www.filmtracks.com - : Snow White: Tale of Terror (John Ottman) Functioning as a combination between horror and fantasy, Ottman's Snow White is perfect for its genre. Although the film was not widely released, Ottman's career has been skyrocketing in the past few years, including such popular compositions as Incognito and The Usual Suspects. Snow White is creative, suspenseful, and even enchanting at moments, while utilizing a wide range of symphonic and choral sounds. From the sound of blowing winds to the freaky vocals performed by Ottman himself, it will keep surprising you with every twist of plot.  more...  
www.filmcritic.com - : This live-action update of Snow White isn't your mommy's fairy tale. If the title didn't give it away, this is a more Grimm-like version of the story with the evil queen (Sigourney Weaver) playing jealous stepmom to Lilliana (aka Snow, Monica Keena), who goes into hiding with a gang of ruffians (only one of whom is a dwarf) when the going gets tough. Very likeable, and probably the only R-rated version of Snow you'll ever see.  more...
