Edward Scissorhands (1990)
1990 | Fantasy, Romance
Another Burton & Depp outing as a dark, gothic, comedy/fantasy film. A sort of darker, funnier mix of beauty and the beast, meets Frankenstein. A bit weird but it has a great cast and some funny scenes. A good film worth checking out!

A decent gothic tale, but could have done with a bit more action, or following the story as he travels the world over the years. Colin Firth steals the show here though, but overall could have been much better considering the run time.

"Atwood keeps several plates spinning in this engrossing novel. What a gleeful storyteller she is. Her book is part family saga and part Gothic fantasy, with a plot twist near the end which casts the whole book in a dazzling new light."

Book Rating
The Mysteries of Udolpho is commonly known as the first 'Gothic Novel', and is cited in Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. I wish that in British Literature/HS European Literature classes in the USA taught this instead of Jane Eyre.
This book is very long, which may seem daunting, but I believe it's worth it. I enjoy Radcliffe's writing style as well. You can really see why this book is used as a template for many gothic novels/films, like Crimson Peak.
Again, this won't be to everyone's taste, but if you like classic literature, I consider it a must-read.

I saw this movie when I was 10 sat in the uci cinema and from the moment I saw it I loved it.
Casting was fab.
The way the made the movie dark and gothic true to the comics was good it shown they took a huge step away from the 60s series.
Full of memorable lines and scenes.
If you have never seen it it has to be on your list of films to see
