In Tim Burton's EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, a suburban fairy tale with incredibly imaginative sets, an Avon lady, Peg Boggs (Dianne Wiest), discovers the half-finished experiment--a...
more...man/monster named Edward (Johnny Depp)--of a mad scientist (played magically by Vincent Price) living in the neighborhood's old abandoned castle. The scientist died before replacing the shy man's large shears with real hands. When Peg attempts to bring Edward into her suburban world, to live among her skeptical family (husband Alan Arkin and daughter Winona Ryder) and gossipy neighbors, his hands--dangerous yet capable of creating things of great beauty--make for some awkward, funny, and poignant situations: Edward as a topiary gardener, Edward as a cutting-edge hair stylist. EDWARD SCISSORHANDS is a story about tolerance, difference, and creativity as much as it is a story of a young man's coming of age (the young man in question is, of course, a monster). In the ironically surreal world of Edward's suburban community, he must try to find his place in it, and in the world at large.

Full review
Watching this film could send shivers down the stiffest spine.
Made in 1990, and starring famed actors Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, 'Edward Scissorhands' is a beautiful story .
Edward was created by an Inventor in an eerie mountain top mansion. Sadly just as the hands to Edward are announced , the inventor falls to his death leaving Edward with shears of metal for hands.
Bought back home by an ever-sweet Avon lady (played by Dianne Wiest) , Edward begins his journey of suburbian life along with a loving friendly and nosy neighbours.
The shy Edward is greeted with fearful stituations and his love for the daughter Kim is portrayed as an unsure burden for poor Edward.
This heartwarming occasion is a classically modern fairytale.
