Genres & Description

Action Fantasy Horror

6.3 / 10

This movie is based somewhat more authentically on the Grimm Brothers' story of a young woman who is unliked by her stepmother. When young Lillian's mother dies during childbirth, her father soon remarries the well-intentioned Lady Claudia. However, Claudia's heart is ruled not by her husband, but by an evil mirror with the power to make Claudia Queen over all living things - until they are dead. A failed attempt to murder young Lillian leaves her wandering lost in a deep dark forest where she comes across seven ruffian gold miners. This movie takes place at the time of the Crusades, and depicts the attitudes of the wealthy and the peasant classes toward each other.

Saw this on Netflix kinda randomly and I tought these damn screenwriters ruined, rewrote and messed up a classic fairy tale. Then I did some curious research and it turns out that somehow my childhood was a lie ... Fairy tales were never ment for children - @Saturday, August 5, 2017 4:56 PM

The best version of Snow White after Disney's. It's creepy as hell and the stepmother and Lili (Snow white) are fully developed characters. - @Tuesday, March 21, 2017 8:45 PM

I saw the front cover when it first came out at Blockbuster I was petrified of the front cover. I don't think it's as bad now but Sigourney is really creepy looking it's Freddie Kruegers wife. It's better then all the lame Disney movies coming out now with real people in it. - @Monday, February 27, 2017 9:02 PM

o my gosh!!! the new version of the snow white tale was all copied from this movie, the "man"/ mirror, the fire consuming the stepmother, the birds swerling around at the death of snow white, and a whole lot more. wow. talk about originality from todays adaptations - @Sunday, January 3, 2016 8:59 AM

This movie is the scariest fantasy movie of all time. It's much more scarier that the lord of the ring or even game of throne. I was 8 years old when I watched this movie and I regret it. The bird that die in the houndglass, the quenn that die when the mirror explode. That is dark fantasy. - @Tuesday, February 10, 2015 12:39 AM
