prelude to Tim Burton
I haven't seen this in years. It was a real turn off and dissapointment. Seeing it thru fresh eyes, and giving credit to the poster I can't remember, this is almost a Tim Burton film. It isn't perfect or truly great but you can see the elements. It probably would have a better appreciation if it came out 10 years later.
The cast is perfect, the movie has a funky look and some dark overtones. It is an odd mix of camp and darkness. It is similar to Burton's Sleepy Hollow.
