Synopsis

A small suburban town receives a visit from a castaway unfinished science experiment named Edward.

Year1990
CountryUnited States
DirectorTim Burton
Cinematic Threads
I really loved movies like 'Beauty and the Beast,' and 'Frankenstein,' and 'Edward Scissorhands.' And I started thinking, well, what if the monster is not cured or transformed, but the human character learns to love them exactly as they are? That was the core idea.
