Query: Wow...

Terrible. Just terrible. Screenwriters must take some liberties in adaptations, but Irving's story was raped. Not only was the storyline impossible to follow, the special effects (which I assume were added in such abundance to try and blanket the terrible plot) did nothing to add to the film.The excessive gore was simply distracting and gratuitous. It's as if the goal was to put as many disturbing scenes as possible into the hour-and-a-half flick. Burton is okay in that mild gothic humor he likes to do, but this quasi-serious attempt fell flat. If excessive gore and gray skies can keep your attention for any length of time, you may enjoy this. Otherwise, do not waste time or money on this film.Really. It's that bad. Really.
