Another movie from our netflix trial, I had wanted to see Frankenweenie when it was released at the cinema back in 2012. Unfortunately, we had a 2-month old child at the time, so cinema visits were (and still are) rare.
Frankenweenie, directed by Tim Burton, tells the tale of Victor Frankenstein (Tahan), a boy whose dog (Sparky) dies in a car accident. Discovering that you can use lightning to bring things back to life, Victor manages to return Sparky to the living. But this being a Tim Burton movie, that's just the start of the story. Queue all sorts of weird and wonderful characters, and their previously dead pets, causing havoc on the town that keeps getting struck by lightning.
As usual with Tim Burton movies, I wasn't disappointed. I think you either love them or you hate them. I love the blend of black humour, oddness and enjoyment that comes with them. A great way to spend a spare hour and a half.
Rating: 4 out of 5
