scary scary story

Rating: Null/10 (2 March 2005)

Johnny Depp verily is a great actor - i think he would be just as brilliant in silent cinema, for his face and especially eyes can express any emotion. And he is a remarkable comedian. I love the way he looks in this film, and i adore the image of it in general, cold and gloomy, an excellent atmosphere for something scary to be happening all the time. So it does , but the story once frightening gets a bit grotesque and full of hilarious moments. Depp's play is just flawless, his somewhat crazy character is adorable, Christina Ricci looks amazing with blonde hair, and also i love the inimitable Christopher Walken whose character here is merely ridiculous... ooh, ten lines, finally. Even eleven.
