'Hansel and Gretel' and more fairy tales for adults
(Gramercy Pictures)
6 of 7
'Snow White: A Tale of Terror'
Familiar fairy tale characters: Snow White, evil queen, hunky woodsman, seven people of diminished stature
Why it's not for kids: This dark re-imagining of the classic fairy tale, set during the Crusades and awash in crucifixions and cannibalism, emphasizes the spooky and the scary, including Sigourney Weaver's frightful makeup as the evil queen. The dwarfs have been replaced by seven roughnecks, but the basics of the story are the same.
