Strange but Excellent

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2008)

At the beginning I thought this was going to be a strange and bizarre experience that I would not like. It was strange and bizarre, but developed into a fascinating story that I thoroughly enjoyed. The blood didn't look real, but more like watered down red paint. The blood was plentiful though. I turned my head more than once. Beyond that, I would recommend it to anyone. Johnny Depp has a surprisingly good singing voice as does Helena Bohnam Carter. the children in this film are terrific and my applause to the casting director in their choices there. The sets are dark and gloomy, but perfect for the era and locale in England. Anyone want a meat pie? I'll be Marie Calendar meat pie sales go down after seeing this movie. ha-ha-ha
