I absolutely loved this film. A charming, funny, dramatic, horrifying and sad trip to a fairy tale world that draws you in from the first scene. unforgettable visuals and a fantastic story add up to one of my favorite movies of all time. 4 stars, highly recommended.

I was all ready for the worst with this one...big NC-17 rating on the box..a mess of warnings...all for that? What i saw was a boring low budget "slasher" flick, that was supposedly based on a real person. There's nothing to rant and rave about...very VERY tame for what i expected. I was more shocked when i saw "Clockwork Orange" for the first time than i was with this...and im sorry, but i laughed and made fun of it while i watched "Henry". (Henry, how can she love you when she loves chicago so much?). The music was good and the male lead was good also...but hard to understand why this is a cult fave.

Please tell me whats so great about this movie! I was seriously disappointed with it. Sure there were some funny parts, and some cool effects..but that doesnt cut it. The most plot gapped, choppy edited movie of the summer! Examples, that giant spider robot scenes (missing sidekick girls). West's fight scene below (chain flies off but still magicllly attaches, steel head goon dies without a clear reason to how he did). Dr. Loveless just falls and we dont see it for such a cool villain why no glorious death scene?? I'll spare the predictable spots for you. Not a bad flick...but not worth paying 8$ for. Star Wars was so much better.
