Edward is the uncommonly gentle but incomplete final creation of a eccentric and reclusive inventor. The inventor's untimely death leaves Edward alone in a mansion on a hill, with metal blades instead of fingers. After do-gooder Avon lady Peg stumbles across this man-child, she brings him home to her greeting-card-picture of Suburbia. An innocent Edward learns and suffers through his first experiences with the real world.

This would be appropriate for Holloween, but it is also a very well-scripted tear-jerker, rather along the lines of 'Pleasantville', or 'American Beauty'

Creative uses/abuses of Edward's hands.

N/A-I love this movie.

Go on a Johnny Depp Marathon! Sweeny Todd

Sad and meloncholy. It is a very touching tale.

Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest

It is a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp classic and a good introduction into their shared working style

It is a bit sad/dark, so if you're looking for a pick-me-up, this isn't it
