My Review: I want to say first of all I am sorry I didn’t get this review to you sooner. The theater I work at just got it and but it will be leaving on Thursday February 28, 2008. So I watched and here is what I think. Tim Burton is one of my favorite directors so I liked it just because of that fact. You will only like this film if and only if you’re into the following: Musicals, Artistic Films, and Blood (Slasher Films). Those three elements are what make up the whole film. If you haven’t seen it yet and waiting to don’t, see right away, because I don’t know how much longer it will be in theaters in smaller cities.

I would like to see this film someday. However, the film will be required to be in high definition. I can settle at 720 progressive, but nothing less. Of course, less would not officially be high definition. therefore, I will not settle for anything other than high definition.
