This movie impressed me to such an extent, that I had trouble sleeping for the first few nights after I saw it, not because he scared me. I just kept thinking about this guy who had scissors for hands, and was so unfamiliar with the world,He had a wonderful talent for making things with his unique hands, but he was still confused about the way the world worked.He finally wound up back where he began, which in a macabre sort of way was where he belonged, because his background just wouldn't let him fit into a so called normal world.The ending was very sad. I'm a relative old man, and it made me cry. Watch it!! It's probably the best movie you'll ever see.

Peg (Dianne Wiest) discovers a lone boy Edward (Johnny Depp) in the hill top mansion. He's been left alone after the death of his creator (Vincent Price). He has massive scissors for hands. Peg takes Edward into her own home. He later becomes infatuated with Peg's teen daughter Kim (Winona Ryder). At first, the neighbors are mostly fascinated by him with the exception of Esmeralda (O-Lan Jones) and Kim's boyfriend Jim (Anthony Michael Hall).Tim Burton is an original. His vision is like no others. Johnny Depp is once again a great enigmatic lead just like 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' 3 years later. He is truly adorably damaged. It also speaks to the conformity of the suburbs and our acceptance of the outsider. It is a movie with heart and wonder. There is no movie like it.

It is directed by Tim Burton! Who has also brought us little gems such as "Beetlejuice", "Batman" and "Sleepy Hollow". It stars Johnny Depp (yum) and Wynona Ryder who are both great in it. I love the non- typical ending and just the entire social commentary undertone. This is Time Burton at his best.
