It’s the story of a bunch of diverse characters stuck together in a confined space in order to seek refuge from monsters that want to eat them. What sets it apart from countless mediocre horror movies is the exploration of what [...]

Johnny Depp has a knack for playing odd characters, and the latest entry to his resume is a cannibalistic barber… With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler, Tim Burton manages to create a film that both musical and horror fans can enjoy, and that is no easy feat. All-star cast includes [...]
