Edward Scissorhands (1990)

A man-made man-like creature is found in an abandoned castle. He has scissors for hands.

Second viewing. I took issue with it on the first one. I found it enjoyable this time, but its setup is better than its development, which in turn is better than its finale. Thematically it echoes Frankenstein (obviously) and Of Mice and Men (perhaps not so obviously).

Rating: 60 (up from 49)
