Review Summary
Lilli (Snow White) has a step-mother who wants to be the centre of attention but when the step-mother loses a child she goes mad (with the help of a possessed mirror) and sets out to kill Lilli. Lilli escapes in the forest where she finds unlikely love with a criminal. The film gives the age old Snow White story a new edge.
Rach.C, Resident Scholar

An adult version of the fairytale. Very dark and seductive and sometimes a little sickening. The tradtional tale and a deeper look into the character of the evil stepmother/witch and a little more realistic then the cartoon version. A must see if you like this of genre and you can handle warped ideas.
Nancy Ferrinda, Resident Scholar
