If you like your fairytales to be as dark as they were originally intended this movie will not disappoint!
Even the beginning is fairly horrific as we see how snow white is brought into the world! For anyone who is familiar with the Grimm Brothers' tale this is a very good adaptation.
Sigourney Weaver is truly wonderful as she brings jealousy and rage to her wicked stepmother role whilst Monica Keena gives snow white innocence, strength and courage as she meets some quite unfriendly strangers along the way. I really did enjoy this and a lot of that was due to scenes that left me pretty speechless!
Gloriously dark and menacing this version of Snow White is one that will stay with you and just might make you think twice when someone offers you a fruit basket...
