Great retelling of a classic tale

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2000)

I hate horror movies. But this isn't a horror movie, it's the ultimate blending of all the creepy, macabre story-telling skills of Tim Burton. It doesn't matter whether he's changed the story, or given it a twist that the author never intended. Basically, it's Hound of the Baskervilles meets computer wizardry in a rollicking tale that grips and holds and leaves one breathless. Since it's all in good fun, an easy night's sleep follows. Wonderful for children of all ages.
