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.

A beautiful, haunting fairytale, Edward Scissorhands is at once a reinvention of classic horror, a quirky comedic fable and a transmuted autobiography. In all, it’s quintessential Burton, through and through.
