Tim Burton attacks!

Rating: 10/10 (29 February 2000)

Tim Burton's film is a fabulous horror movie that is involved in a lugubrious and magic ambient. The performers are excellent; Johnny Deep, who worked with Burton in two occasions earlier, is great as Ichabob Crane and he is very well accompanied by Christina Ricci. Only she could be Katrina, she is a mysterious woman and she is really a strange beauty. Miranda Richardson ("Tom and Vic") is brilliant like the perverse stepmother with her gelid beauty.
Special mention for Christopher Walken (the headless man) and Christopher Lee (always excellent).
Burton sets a gloomy atmosphere; the humour, horror and sensuality are interlaced in it.
