Summary: The way fairy tales were meant to be seen...
Review: For people that think this movie is a little too dark, just remember this: when fairy tales were originally told, they were meant to be scary. They were intended to teach moral lessons too children. Then Disney came along and candy coated everything to make it more easily digestable. This movie is definitely not candy coated. It is dark, and violent, but it is also very beautiful. This is the way Grimm's stories were meant to be told!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent adaptation of a classic tale!
Review: I simply adored "Snow White: A Tale of Terror." It followed the tale quite well, yet spiced it up for more "harder-to-impress" viewers. I especially love that Lilly didn't fall in love with a prince, but a typical, and absolutely gorgeous, pesant. I didn't find this movie a gory as a lot of movies I've seen, it was pretty tame actually. I would probably show it to my 14-year-old, if I had one. It's not gruesome at all, just very entertaining!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, but kinda stupid
Review: This is an awesome thriller but it is also quite stupid

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dark, Twisted, and wonderful!!!!
Review: This is one of the best fairy tales I have ever seen. All the actors were excellent in this film. Weaver was outstanding as the evil stepmother. The young actress who played Lilly was outstanding as well and VERY, VERY beautiful!!! The film was also well photographed and delicously creepy!! My thumb is up with a great deal of admiration!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Grimms Brothers could have written this one!
Review: This movie was extremely good. Its like it came from the Grimm Brothers fairy tales. I happen to like them very much. It had a very good plot and the actors did very well I think. I like it that someone finally made it into a not so "happy-ending." It was just a well written story with an intricate plot and well rounded characters!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Snow White Rocks!!!
Review: This version of the Grimms Brothers Fairy Tale is excellent. The digital transfer to DVD is so good that I felt like I could have walked right into my television set. Once again Signourey Weaver nails her performance as the wicked step-mom Claudia. All starts out fine but then things quickly pick up as step-mom and step-daughter battle it out to the final blow. This version is top knotch all the way, I was very pleased with everyone's performance, the movie's photography and storyline. I recommend this to anyone who loves a good suspenseful movie while reliving a childhood story at the same time. Also the chills are more from the suspense side and little to no emphasis on blood and gore. My only recommendation is that younger kids don't need to see this version unless you want them sleeping with you for a week. I give it my thumbs up rating as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's Snow White I want to see!!!
Review: This movie's cool!!! The darkest and scariest version of fairy tale that turns bedtime story into nightmere.I love it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The old tale seen through a glass darkly.
Review: Intriguing interpretation of the well-known story. Sigourney Weaver (Claudia) plays her part beautifully. Initially she is kind towards Lily (Snow White). Like a spoilt brat, Lily spurns all her attempts to befriend her. The turning point comes when Claudia loses her own baby. From there onwards Claudia becomes the traditional evil stepmother with a mirror fixation. This version has some of the tallest dwarves you'll ever see, excellent visual effects, a drippy and unfaithful prince (actually a doctor) and a feisty Snow White. I particularly liked the Dorian Gray ending. Enough said. Watch it for yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: snow white not a victim anymore
Review: I love this movie, when you watch it,you forget about everything around you.the scenery is wonderfull.I loved it that snow white fought back, the wicked queen was absolutely great.I loved who she fell in love with.watch this movie and you will never be sorry.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent model on the original story...
Review: Perhaps it's my nature to be attracted to more obscure creations, but I found this movie to be an exquisite work of art. I agree with another of the reviewers, the girl in the movie has a kind of rare, regal beauty. I could fall in love with her if I let myself. At any rate, at least see this movie once before you die.
