Snow White: A Tale of Terror 1997  R, 100 min.
Genre: Horror / Thriller
aka: The Grimm Brothers' Snow White
Director: Michael Cohn
Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Sam Neill, Monica Keena, Gil Bellows, Taryn Davis, Brian Glover, David Conrad, Anthony Brophy, Frances Cuka, Chris Bauer
The story starts off the way that a fairy tale should, with a beautiful scene being set. The Snow White story, however, has a dark side, and rather than staying with a higher-plane rendition, the movie resorts to gore.
