Snow White: A Tale of Terror directed by Michael Cohn is based somewhat more authentically on the Grimm Brothers' story of a young woman who is unliked by her stepmother, the film includes the talking mirror, a poisoned apple, and some ruffian gold (not diamond) miners (and they aren't dwarfs or cute). It takes place at the time of the Crusades, and depicts the attitudes of the wealthy and the peasant classes toward one another.
I thought I didn't like this movie but the more I watch it, the more I got drawn into the story. It is not what I have expected in the Snow White movie. It is more on the eerie than the lovely fairy-tale that we were told when we were young. A great movie to watch!
