Frightening, Disturbing, and Brilliant

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 2000)

I have read all the reviews for this film and found that there isn't one person who doesn't like the movie. I have a terrible past concerning this movie that I would like to make public. This movie came out in 1990 when I was five. When I was three (1988), I had a terrible dream where a man named Edward Scissorhands attacked me while I was in my basement. I just wanted to get that frightening experience out into the open. Now, concerning the movie itself, I have several questions. Why was Edward given scissors for hands? I know that if he had normal hands, there would be no movie, but still. Also, was Edward shot in the end? If so, why didn't he die? Other than this, this is a great film. Burton did a magnificant job with creating such a unique character that is so well developed. The image of suburbia with green, blue, and pink houses, while the dark castle lays in the backround, is also brilliant. The final thing I have to say about this movie is did the flashbacks with Vincent Price scare anyone else?
