I admit it, I like Tim Burton, his work he's done in this decade hasn't really been a patch on his early work I agree with the exception of Big Fish. But Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Batman and this marvellous short, which pays homage to horror maestro Vincent Price who also narrates, are some of his best ever work. Vincent is affectionate, dark and atmospheric, the reason why I love Burton's early work so much. It is quite short, and perhaps a little abrupt in its ending, but the visuals are beautifully crafted, the music is never overpowering and adds to the atmosphere, the narration is brilliantly written and quite macabre(kind of reminds me of the Edgar Allan Poe stories) and the story is evocative. Best of all, is the superb narration from the brilliant Vincent Price, his voice is perfect for this. Overall, a near-masterpiece of a short. 9.5/10 Bethany Cox
