Worth a look just to see Vincent Price's last role.

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 2009)

I do believe it was his last role, and not surprisingly he is absolutely great as the inventor who sees a human in a cookie cutting machine and gives it a heart, a body and life and sadly dies before he is able to give his creation hands. The impact really had me going and was very emotional especially considering how shortly after this Price himself would take his last breath. The rest of the movie is good too, I would have ranked it higher, but the ending so brought me down that it left me feeling down in the dumps where it could have instead uplifted. Poor Edward went through so much, then was able to carve out some happiness with people and then had it taken away again. The ending is just enough to break your heart. Then again, what can one expect from Tim Burton? The movie has a very Gothic look to it that would also be seen in "Batman Returns" though I would argue he got a bit to dark and Gothic in that one. This one though becomes more of a comedy when Edward is found and introduced into society. Then near all the funny stuff, Edward falls in love and tragedy ensues making making this movie a depressing one. Still, it is a good movie and worth a look. Like I said, the movie is worth watching for Vicent Price's brief scenes alone.
