Review of Frankenweenie (2012) by Antony G — 24 Nov 2013
A children's horror flick by Tim Burton based on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. There's even a cheeky nod towards Shelley herself with a tombstone in the Pet Cemetery baring her name!
A young boy unexpectedly loses his pet dog & after a science lesson comes upon the idea of resurrecting his beloved pet. If you're familiar with Shelley's classic novel then I need say no more as it follows the same narrative. But to add to Shelley's classic the other children in the boy's class find out about his secret project & decide to bring back from the dead their own lost pets but with dire consequences for the town of New Holland.
