The plot of The Death of Snow White

In this adaptation of the classic fairytale, Snow White is being relentlessly pursued by her wicked stepmother, The Evil Queen, who seeks to consume her heart to gain eternal beauty. To escape her doom, Snow White flees into the Dark Forest, which is teeming with all forms of mysterious and dark creatures.

In the dark forest, Snow White finds herself in the presence of seven murderous dwarves, skilled in the art of combat and brutal assassination. To survive, Snow White allies with the dwarves and relies on their skills to face the dangers that await her.

As secrets unravel and mysteries unfold, Snow White's spirit is put to the test as she faces the underlying darkness that lurks in her kingdom. This modern retelling of the Grimm Brothers' story explores themes of survival, justice, and betrayal in the most harrowing fashion.


Trailer highlights

The trailer for The Death of Snow White gives a preview of what audiences can expect from the film. It adheres to the theme of dark fantasy and horror with a new twist on the classic fairytale.

It begins with The Evil Queen talking to her magic mirror, reaffirming her vanity:

"Mirror hanging on the wall, I am the fairest of them all."

To which the mirror replies:

"It is true, but we both know Snow White is more beautiful than you."

Determined to eliminate her competition, she orders her huntsmen to find Snow White, who has already fled into the dark forest. We then get a glimpse of her encounter with the seven dwarves, who seem to be portrayed as violent and dangerous allies, far from the silly and benevolent characters from the classic fairytale.

The trailer showcases intense scenes of violence, dark magic, and pursuit intertwined with themes of survival and betrayal. This adaptation highlights the perilous journey of Snow White and promises and chilling and sunspensful take on Disney's beloved story.
