Edward Scissorhands
Directed by Tim Burton
In a castle high on top of a hill lives an inventor's greatest creation - Edward, a near-complete person. The creator died before he could finish Edward's hands; instead, he is left with metal scissors for hands. Since then, he has lived alone, until a kind lady called Peg discovers him and welcomes him into her home. At first, everyone welcomes him into the community, but soon things begin to take a change for the worse.

Edward Scissorhands Ratings & Reviews
- David28 February 2026It’s a truly great movie - I can’t find a single fault with it. With its insane storyline and aesthetics, it manages to be both highly realistic and emotional. Tim Burton has truly created an enduring masterpiece with this one.
- Tom Cooper8 February 2026A classic, of course 👍
- VyacheslavAnisimov8 February 2026One of the best movies by Tim, just watched with my kids and the are impressed too
- Sophia Atkinson19 March 2025It's a great movie, but half of the conflict could have been solved by people just talking, and staying out of other people's business.
- Mark21 December 2025A film watched plenty of times still enjoyable
- 5amurai5amson4 December 2025I can see why we we had to watch this in high school. A lot of fun themes to dissect. From the neighbors always suggesting to get help (and never coming through) to the boyfriend being the only character that swears, there’s a lot of fun to unpack once the movie is over. One of Johnny Depp’s best roles.
- eckoryan23 October 2025Just a little off the top please.
- parktool6925 September 2025fun and silly
- mickerdoo30 June 2025Laugh out loud performances and lovely set design. Depp is uniquely innocent. Arkin cracked me up. Wish it played out differently.
