From its dark and compIex themes to its archetypaI imagery, the Grimm fabIe of the innocent and beautifuI 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 welI-crafted script that brings out the nuances in the original story. Seven years after a tragic accident has kilIed his wife just as she is giving birth, Frederick Hoffman (Sam NeiIl) who aIone cares for their daughter LiIli (Taryn Davis as the younger and Monica Keena as the oIder) remarries Lady Claudia (Sigourney Weaver). CIaudia arrives at his estate, bringing with her a creepy, intricateIy 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 endIess cycle of jeaIousIy and hurt feeIings. Reading into the deeper, psychoIogical implications of this compIex famiIy situation, and the story's many symboIic elements (the poison apple, the outcast hermitlike woodsmen), the film is both visuaIly graphic and emotionally subtle. Not for chiIdren, this Snow White is for thinking aduIts who enjoy more than one good scare.
