Summary: Dark, Sadistic, and Frightening!!
Review: "Snow White: A Tale of Terror" was attractive to me because it had a dark sadistic twist to it. After watching this movie twice, once on regular TV and again on cable, I will never look at the Disney version the same way again. The mirror should have been destroyed along with the wicked queen. I can't wait to see what they do with "Sleeping Beauty" or "Hansel and Gretel"!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DELICIOUS!
Review: I am amazed this movie didn't hit it big. I suppose that just goes to show the stupidity of the populace..... But this movie is wonderful. Everything about it was fantastic. I am a rough movie critic, but I must admit it had great costumes, a magical setting, fantastic actors.... The skill of these is evident as you begin to notice the slight changes in the facial features of the Queen, for example, as she begins to resent her stepdaughter. This is no conservative fairy tale. And I must say, Snow White, called Lilyana in the film, is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I hope to see her more in future films. If you cannot buy this film directly, at least rent it. It is truly a work of art.

Summary: A return to the fairy tale's dark side
Review: This version of Snow White has all the horror of the original tale, and some new twists to keep you wondering until the end. Snow White, called Lily in this version, lost her mother as she was born. Her father marries Lady Claudia, a beautiful woman who is outwardly a devout Christian, but still casts runes in her own rooms, and whose weakness is a mirror and her need to be the center of attention. At first she is pleasant to her new stepdaughter, but she soon becomes jealousy of Lily, who alone seems to draw her husband's attention away from her, leading her to decide Lily must die. Lily escapes into the forest ... then the story really becomes interesting.

If you enjoy seeing fairy tales the way they were meant to be you'll enjoy this!

Summary: A Disturbing Piece
Review: You know the story...or do you? This take on the classic tale is dark and gothic. They don't make films like these anymore. Today, over-the-top gore is the thing.This is scary in a different way.It is disturbing and eerie(SPOILER: Especially the concept of the Queen with her stillborn son).
Sigourney Weaver gives her best performance since ALIEN.She takes on a role of madness and edge of your seat insanity. The way she talks into her mirror is so dramatic and expressive.The beautifully designed mirror's expression is evermore the same.
The girl who plays Lillian,a.k.a. Snow White, is wonderful. How many girls her age can show fear through her eyes.She shows her best in the ending scene.
This is an excellent achievement in horror. It is beautifully filmed and professionally directed. The music makes each scene unique and suspenceful(excluding the parts with the seven miners(a.k.a. dwarves)A must see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Aweosme
Review: I love dark and gothic movies and sometimes its hard to find ones that actually are interesting. I love the acting in it and the setting. If you are in to this kind of stuff this is the right movie for you

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: twisted, but pleasingly so!
Review: This is a great turn on the whole "poor-little-princess-lost-in-the-woods-with-seven-little-men-who-just-take-her-in-with-no- questions-asked" thing.In this delightful movie, the seven dwarves arent small and cute at all! They are all scar riddeled men, who have been unjustly punished by those in power, and are hiding in the woods to excape execution. Snow Whites step Mother tries to be nice, and generally is, untill a stillborne baby makes her go phyco, and her magic mirror warps her mind into thinking she can get the baby back by going on a killing spree. Prince Charming, is a nieve goody two shoes, who is sleeping with the Evil step mother, but yet dosen't smudge his poor little choir boy image. Snow White ends up falling in love with one of the seven "dwarves" (he's realy hot) and after he saves her from her early apple induced coffin, they both go and rescue her father, while the evil queen goes down in flames, her creepy little resurected baby by her side! This movie is A*W*E*S*O*M*E !

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cool version of Snow White
Review: After growing up hearing and seeing the watered-down version of Snow White, I found this to be much more interesting. Finally, the "wicked" stepmother's side of the story is made known. While she wasn't a good person, at least now she doesn't seem so one-dimensional and viewers find out why she acted the way she did. It was refreshing to see a more realistic "spin" on an old fairy tale, and I suspect it is much closer to the original version. I'm not sure if I would recommend children viewing this, as it is scary and has at least one "adult" scene in it. This is definitely not about a happy, go-lucky little princess that hides out with dwarves and eventually rides off into the sunset with a charming prince. Sigourney Weaver was very convincing as the beautiful, tormented stepmother and she really made the movie. Snow White(Lilliana) was pretty much secondary to her throughout the movie. I highly recommend this movie to an older audience.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Disturbing Piece
Review: This is by far the best version of the classic fairy tale ever created. Sigourney Weaver is fantastic as Snow White's evil sorcereress step-mother - driven to madness by the thurst to be flawless.
