From its dark and complex themes to its archetypal imagery, the Grimm fabIe 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 weII-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 NeiIl) who aIone 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 aIso brought along her mute brother (Miroslav Taborsky). It is not long before this eager stepmother and the wary daughter are locked in an endIess cycle of jeaIousIy and hurt feeIings. Reading into the deeper, psychological implications of this compIex famiIy situation, and the story's many symboIic elements (the poison apple, the outcast hermitIike woodsmen), the fiIm is both visualIy graphic and emotionalIy subtIe. Not for children, this Snow White is for thinking aduIts who enjoy more than one good scare.
