Snow White: A Tale of Terror (1997) is a currently available on Tubi. The storyline follows a king whose wife dies during the child birth of his daughter. He remarries a woman obsessed with her beauty and power. She speaks to a magic mirror and discovers the only way to power is to rid the kingdom of her stepdaughter. She tries to kill her stepdaughter who flees into the woods and into the home of some poor miners who are happy to help her. The queen will have to go to extreme measures to find her stepdaughter and finish the deed...

This movie is directed by Michael Cohn (Interceptor) and stars Sigourney Weaver (Ghostbusters), Sam Neill (Jurassic Park), David Conrad (Wedding Crashers), Monica Keena (Freddy vs Jason), Brian Glover (Aliens 3) and Gil Bellows (The Shawshank Redemption).

The cast in this is absolutely awesome and are fun to watch in this familiar fairytale. I enjoyed the storyline weaving in the feel of the rich vs the poor during the religious crusades (a little like Robinhood). The settings, attire and makeup were great. They did a great job of turning Weaver into both the Witch and The Temptress. I'll never forget Weaver's teeth in this. There's an amazing kill scene with a candle in this that's a must see also.

Overall this movie isn't perfect but Is definitely worth watching based on the combination of cast and plot. I would score this a 6.5-7/10 and recommend seeing once.
